Mixed-use lot owner seeks bigger mix

State demographer returning to present local population trends By Norma Engelberg

Contributing writer Cort Wahl’s property at 105, 107, 109 and 111 Boundary St. is already a mix of residential and commercial buildings but he wants to expand the mix of commercial

uses to make the property more marketable. His request for a conditional use permit went before the planning commission on March 26. Before Wahl acquired the property in 2014 the four buildings on the property had been used as homes, contractor offices, a dog wash/retail shop and a repair facility for racing vehicles. If his permit is approved by Woodland Park City Council the uses for the site would include single-family rental homes, auto repair, appliance repair, contractor and construction services with lim-

ited outdoor storage, wholesale trade and distribution services and warehousing and storage services with indoor-only storage. There would be no new construction or substantial improvements on the site. One neighbor spoke in favor of the changes and, so far, no other neighbors submitted comments. The commissioners gave a unanimous recommendation of approval the conditional use permit ordinance will be heard on initial posting by council on April 2 and in public hearing on April 16. This was new City Planner Lor Pellegri-

no’s first official case presentation. City Planning Director Sally Riley invited the commissioners and the public to a special presentation by State Demographer Elizabeth Garner from 4-5 p.m. on April 15 in council chambers. Garner came to town three years ago to present demographic information targeted to Teller County. This time she’ll present data on population growth, population by race/ethnicity and age and will forecast population growth and trends.

Topaz discovered on television in Agnus Dei mine By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com

ichard Frettard has a different take on what happened when he discovered a large topaz on “The Prospector Show” filmed on site at his Agnus Dei mine near Pikes Peak. Whatever the case, however, Frettard will go down in mineral history as the miner who found a topaz weighing a pound-and-a-half. What the audience didn’t see was what went on behind the scenes. “I was a little upset because we’d had a lot of rain and I had my tailings pile shored up to keep it away from my diggings, so I could dig,” said Frettard, who lives in Woodland Park. As he was getting ready to start digging, a large cameraman zeroed in on Frettard. “I warned him to get back, told him to use his telescopic lens,” Frettard said. “He didn’t listen to me, got too close to my cribbing; he sunk in and all the cribbing went down.” Frettard spent the day mucking. “Of course on television they’d don’t show that,” he said.

Francisco Sotomayor crafted an eagle’s head from the topaz discovered by his friend, Rich Frettard. On television, the caved-in site was due to the heavy rains. “They have to ad-lib a little bit because it’s the Weather Channel,” he said. “I was pretty upset that day, spent the whole day shoveling.” No matter, for the television audience, the next set of events led to mining glory. “I started poking around and pulled out this pound-and-a-half piece of raw

topaz,” he said. “I handed the piece out to my partner, Jean Cowman.” The downside of the discovery is that the topaz is a partial. “That’s what the chase is after — complete crystals,” he said. “This was only half of a crystal, split Miner continues on Page 10

Learn about Colorado’s native plants For the Courier Many plants are unique to the geography of Colorado. In Teller County, for example, there are plants adapted to the high altitude, unique growing conditions and precipitation of elevations from 8,500 to 14,000 feet — plants that cannot be found on the plains and areas of the Front Range. Each year, the extension offices of Colorado State University offers its native plant master series of classes. Whether new to the area or just curious about the native flora in Teller and Park counties, this class helps participants learn to identify plants in the area by name and habitat, as well as special uses, discover the relationships plants have with animals that pollinate, consume or nest in them, explore areas of the county that are host to native plants. The mission of the program is to educate the public about the native plants of Colorado and to foster stewardship, sustainable landscaping, and management of weeds that threaten native ecosystems. These courses take place in the field and sometimes require strenuous walking for extended periods of time, sitting on the ground, traversing steep inclines and the occasional muddy and slippery trail, as well as variable weather conditions. Adults and young adults age 16 and 17 are welcome to

participate. Many participants opt to take three courses and receive the Colorado Native Plant Master Certificate or the Colorado Flora Certificate. The NPM certificate program requires a commitment to volunteer in some capacity to share knowledge with others throughout the year. There is no volunteer commitment for the Flora Certificate. Participants are also welcome to experience just one course. The first course of this class is scheduled to begin May 28, with a short introduction to botany course. Field work will follow on three consecutive Fridays: May 29, June 5 and June 12. The next course is scheduled for July 17, 24, and 31. Specific locations are based on program leader scouting missions during the week. Previous locations have included the Crags, Lions Camp and Pikes Peak. Carpooling to locations is encouraged and will be discussed at the first meeting of the class. All Friday field days run from 8 a.m. to noon. For more information, contact CSU extension agent Mark Platten at (719) 6867961 or mark.platten@colostate.edu. Applications are also available at the Teller County Extension office located at 800 Research Drive, Suite 100, Woodland Park, CO 80863.

Rodeo under Cripple Creek’s protection City to participate in coordinated election By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer The highly successful Cripple Creek Rodeo is now named the ‘Top of the World Rodeo’ and will rest under the insurance protection of the city. According to discussion during a work session held prior to the regular Cripple Creek City Council meeting on Mar. 18 the rodeo, now in its third year, will no longer be under the insurance protection of the Teller County Fair, but will be under the umbrella of the city’s insurance plan. The “Top of the World Rodeo” reflects the event’s status as the world’s highest elevation rodeo at 9,640 feet. The event will be held over the weekend of June 12-14 with the traditional rodeo fare that many have come to expect plus new featured events including a parade and the Ames Construction Percheron Team. Rodeo Legend and eight- time World Champion Cowboy Larry Mahan will also return as Grand Marshall. In other city business, the council approved the city’s participation in the coordinated election for the Nov. 3 General Election. According to a memo submitted to council by City Clerk Debra Blevins, “It is more efficient to participate in the coordinated election than for (the city) to hold a separate election.” The council also approved Ralf’s Break Room “Modification of Premises” with regard to an earlier 2008 “Revocable

(Liquor) License Agreement” with the city for the use of the city’s right of way for an outside serving area. According to Blevin’s memo: “On Jan. 15, 2015 the Building Department issued Ralf’s Break Room a building permit to modify his outside liquor area at 411 East Bennett Ave. “At the time the permit was issued the building staff was not aware that this permit was attached to the revocable agreement or the liquor license ... the new railing was put in place on Mar. 9, 2015. “On Mar. 12, 2015 Ralf’s Break Room requested a (Modification of Premises) for his liquor license.” Since the existing permitted area and the modified area did not match, Bleveins recommended that the council “approve the Modification of Premises with the condition that a new Revocable License Agreement is approved to conform to the new planned area.” The modification was approved with council member Chris Hazlett abstaining; Hazlett is the owner of Ralf’s Break Room. During discussion council member Steve Zoellner made a statement for the public’s ears regarding the sidewalks in general saying “The city has spent a lot of time, effort and money (to improve the sidewalks, curbs and streets). I want you to know that those sidewalks belong to the city and (people) must come to the council for approval of any new development.” “There are procedures in place. (The city) has a new code book so we can start fresh and everybody is on the same page. We do have rules and we are going to enforce them,” Zoellner said.

Theater to see revival with variety of new acts Special entertainment event to be held April 18 By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer The revival of Cripple Creek’s historic Gold Bar Theater will be celebrated at a special event on Saturday, April 18 at 7 p.m., featuring entertainers from throughout the area. The Gold Bar Theater is located at 123 North Third St. inside the Imperial Hotel and Restaurant. The Gold Bar Theater is fondly remembered for the melodrama plays produced by Wayne and Dorothy Mackin which brought so many visitors to Cripple Creek and gave numerous actors their first break. With its new direction, the theater will play host to a variety of entertainment styles such as Americana, Folk and Western Music, Cowboy Poetry, Puppetry, Magic, Ventriloquism, Cabaret, Dance, Skits — anything to encourage the creativity of budding and established artists to share

their talents and fulfill audience expectation’s of a town reminiscent of Colorado’s historic past. In the upcoming weeks, the theater will be open for Open Mic Nights, Local Talent Nights and, beginning this summer, special guests. Musician’s and entertainers of all varieties are welcome to call 719-748-1399, for inquiries regarding future performance possibilities. With the revival of the theater, business owners and entrepreneurs, Gary and Wini Ledford, have again increased their stakes in Cripple Creek. Their approach to excellence has brought to the city, restoration of the Imperial Hotel, transformation of the High School into Carr Manor, a Bed and Breakfast, the Midland Depot Restaurant and, most recently, the Monte Carlo Emporium, a multi-faceted retail business with an emphasis on select art, antiques, home decor and unique gift items. In preparation for this summer, the Ledford’s are placing the final touches to additional venues within the Emporium to

Woman receives Distinguished Citizen of the Year Award By Sonja Oliver

Contributing writer A very surprised and overwhelmed Edie Smith received a Distinguished Citizen of the Year Award by the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks Lodge No. 316 Exalted Ruler Jeff Trenary presented the yearly distinction to Smith at the Cripple Creek City council meeting held on March 18. “The person we have chosen to honor this year has been not only a valued business owner but also a very involved citizen of Cripple Creek for over eight years now. Every year, our Lodge presents to a member of the community whom we feel has shown outstanding

service to our community.” Trenary said, reading from a prepared statement. Trenary continued, “She has donated her time, energy and money to help support the school, the theater, the Old Homestead, the Elks and the donkeys as well as the various events we host here in town. Any time there is a fundraiser, she is right there building a basket to be auctioned, lending a hand and showing support. “She also has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know here in the District. Her door is always open and her ears are always willing to listen to anyone who is in need of a friend. And if all you need is a hug, her arms are there to wrap you up with all her love. “She has helped several

of our young people get back on track and pointed in a good direction. Her bubbly personality and smile are so infectious, that you can’t help leaving her store with a smile on your own face. “It is with pride that I present the Elks Distinguished Citizen of the Year Award to Edie Smith,” Trenary said. Smith, a local resident and co-business owner of Creations Everlasting Boutique and Tea Room, sat in a very crowded council chamber listening as Trenary described the Elk’s reason for choosing their Distinguished Citizen. It was only after her name was called that she realized that Trenary was describing her.

Marking the trail in the Ute Pass Some of the white marble markers still tell the story, though not as audibly and obviously, as they first did in 1911. U.P.T. routed out in relief on the flat slabs. Originally, there were 15 of them placed by the El Paso County Pioneers. The group said they wanted to mark what was left of the ancient Ute Pass Trail between Cascade and Manitou Springs. The group was to dedicate the newlymarked, but anciently-traveled, route in 1912. Only trouble, according to Ute Pass historian Jan Pettit, was getting real Utes to help dedicate. “The town of Colorado Springs held an eight-day summer carnival in 1911. The carnival committee had requested a group of Utes Indians from the Southern Reservation for exhibition at that event. The good citizens were informed by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs that he did not favor the promiscuous employment of Indians in Wild West Shows . He was, however, not opposed to their employment in exhibitions of a historical and elevating character. A small group of Ute Indians would be allowed to participate in the marking of the ancient Ute Pass Trail and to appear at the carnival. The carnival organizers were required to enter into a contract with the Indians by posting a bond and agreeing to pay travel and other expenses in addition to paying each adult Ute five dollars. The Indian events were so polar with those attending the carnival that the celebration’s name was changed to Shan Kive (good time) with the hope of having more Indians attend in 1912,” wrote Pettit in her book “Utes: The Mountain People.” But not everyone was happy. For at the carnival, Utes performed the Moon Dance and other customs that were discouraged at the reservation. In fact, most of the customs that were uniquely Ute, were

discouraged by people of influence at the time like School Superintendent Werner of the Southern Ute Agency. They were apparently afraid all dancing, revived traditions and such, might set the tribe, once again, back on the war path. But after a series of letters between Cato Sells, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, E.E. McKean, Superintendent of the Southern Ute Agency and Fred Mathews, general freight and passenger agent for the Florissant and Cripple Creek Railroad and chairman of the Shan Kive celebration, it was finally agreed that a party of 50 adult Utes, and their families could attend the 1912 dedication and carnival. The contract called for expenses and payment of a dollar in cash, with the express prohibition of allowing the tribal members to purchase intoxicating liquors. “A large group of Ute Indians accompanied by several dignitaries began their ride down the Ute Pass Trail from Cascade toward Manitou Springs mounted on horses furnished by the Cusack family.” wrote Pettit. Buckskin Charlie, Chief of the Southern Utes, and Chipeta, widow of Ouray, were among the 75 or so Indians, that proceeded down the trail. Frances Heizer, of the founding families of Cascade, described it thusly, at the time: “Buckskin Charlie, chief of this tribe, had

not been over the trail since the Utes had left this country over thirty years earlier. His birthplace was Garden of the Gods and he remembered every turn in this trail he had ridden in his youth. ‘I’m seventy years old,’ he said. “I never so happy in all my life.’” The aging chief explained en route, that neutral territory topped the route, were Utes smoked the pipe of peace with enemies such as Comanche, Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Sioux. They cached their arms and substituted choke cherry branches as an indication of peaceful intentions as they proceeded down to the “medicine waters” with ailing. They believed the springs were the abode of a spirit who breathed through the water, causing them to bubble and cure, at the same time. As early as 1847, historical accounts by early travelers to this area like Frederick Ruxton, noted that the springs (which now are in Manitou Springs) was collector of native people, and trading location as a result. “The basin of the spring was filled with beads and wampum, and pieces of red cloth and knives, whilst the surrounding trees were hung with strips of deer skin, cloth, and moccasins. The Indian regard with awe the “medicine” waters of these fountains as being the abode of a spirit who breathes through the transparent water, and thus, by his exhalations, causes the perturbation of its surface,” wrote Ruxton in 1847. Maude McFerran Price, curator of the El Paso Pioneers Museum, is quoted in Pettit’s book regarding the importance of the trail marking. “Today the trail lies marked forever, not alone by the marble tables, by the hopes and fears and joys and tears of the fast disappearing race of red men.”

The Colorado Rockies best kept secret

Some of baseball’s immortals include the likes of Tyrus Raymond Cobb, George Herman Ruth, Henry Louis Gehrig, Willie Howard Mays, Lynn Nolan Ryan and Reginald Martinez Jackson. In a few years we might be adding Yad Sloof Lirpa to the mix. Lirpa is not be a household name now, but if his talent is anywhere near his hype, the Colorado Rockies prospect may go down as one of the greatest players of this generation, or any generation. You may be asking yourself, who is Lirpa and why have I never heard of him? The answer is quite simple; the Rockies have hidden this gem away in such secrecy that not even his teammates know much more about him than his name. Lirpa is the best kept secret since the allied invasion of Normandy and I predict that when he makes his major league debut it won’t take the baseball world long to notice him. The first professional baseball player from Tibet, Lirpa worked as a Sherpa guide in the Himalayas before taking up the sport just two years ago. “Lirpa the Sherpa” as he is known by his people in his small village 30 miles northeast of Nepal, is a physical freak of nature. At 6-foot-7, 275 pounds, he stands more than a foot above his native tribesmen. Upon his arrival in the big leagues, he will likely be considered by many sportswriters and baseball talking heads to be the hands down favorite to win the National League Rookie of the Year Award. The 31-year-old Lirpa could even become the first rookie to win MVP honors in the same year since Japanese icon Ichiro Suzuki did it with the Seattle Mariners in 2001. Lirpa signed his free agent contract in late February for a whopping $55 million, which he immediately handed over to the people of his village. He did not show up at the Rockies’ spring training complex in Scottsdale until two weeks ago. Loyal to his job as a guide at Mount Everest, he refused to leave for America until finishing his 200th expedition to the top of the world’s most famous peak. Furthermore, his contact specifically states that neither Rockies players nor

front office personnel are allowed to make any public mention of him until he is ready to play his first home game at Coors Field. Rumor has it he may suit up for the Rockies’ home opener April 10 against the Chicago Cubs. Lirpa is not yet listed on the Rockies’ 40-man roster. The team has quietly kept him tucked away at their spring training complex working with the first and second year minor league players. He has his own private quarters, not because he demands peace and quiet - which he is accustomed to in the Himalayas — but because Rockies management is concerned that “Big Yad” might become overwhelmed and distracted by the fast-paced American way of life. Lirpa is a five-tool player who can play all nine positions with ease, skill and grace. He has Rickey Henderson-type instincts and on the bases. He chases down fly balls in the outfield with the gazelle-like speed of Roberto Clemente. He has the cat-like reflexes of Brooks Robinson at third base, and even has been known to do flips like Ozzie Smith when he runs out to take his position at shortstop. He possesses a blazing fastball — clocked as high as 112 mph — devastating curveball and a Satchel Paige-like hesitation pitch. Some in the Rockies organization have suggested Lirpa is a combination Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, Sandy Koufax and Paige rolled into one. So how have the Rockies been able to keep Lirpa hidden away from view in the age of social media? One club source told me sportswriters in Arizona became suspicious when a person was seen running around the team’s spring training complex

wearing a thick, course, wraparound robe that reached below his knees. They also became suspicious when boxes of gruel were spotted in the team kitchen at the team complex. Lirpa’s versatility presents a good problem for Rockies manager Walt Weiss. Since he can play all nine positions — did I mention that Lirpa is also a switch hitter and throws equally well with both arms — Weiss plans to use his star in a variety of roles on any given night in any type of situation. Lirpa has played just a handful of minor league games, but he flawlessly rotated between positions; taking the mound one inning, catching the next, then switching to the outfield, making over the shoulder grabs appear routine. Lirpa could become the first of many Sherpa’s the Rockies sign. They are hoping that his enormous lung capacity - unique Hemoglobin and doubled nitric oxide production - will be an added bonus playing in the mile-high city. The club has not decided if Lirpa will go on road trips. The largest Sherpa community in the United States is in New York City. Lirpa has relatives there and has hinted he might feel more comfortable living in a town with large skyscrapers. He has mentioned to Rockies front office brass that he would like to scale the Empire State Building, much in the vein of King Kong. I plan on being in the Coors Field press box capturing Lirpa’s every move whenever he decides to make his grand entrance. Team officials are toying with the idea of flying him in via helicopter; much like Steve Nebraska — played by actor Brendan Fraser — was brought into Yankee Stadium for his first game in the movie “The Scout.” Lirpa will likely meet his Rockies teammates for the first time the day or night of his inaugural major league game. He will then inform Weiss which positions he plans on playing. I am looking forward to this baseball season more than any in my life. I guess, like many, I will have to see the prodigy from Tibet to believe he is for real. I wish you the best, Yad Sloof Lirpa.

Life on Earth is killing us

“Better Living Through Chemistry,” was the DuPont Company’s slogan from 1935 to 1982. What a great tagline and concept, but has it turned out that way? Scientists at Cornell University estimate that 40 percent of all deaths worldwide are caused by pollution and toxic chemicals. After studying worldwide pollution levels and emerging diseases, Cornell ecology professor David Pimemtel concluded that, “Life on earth is killing us.” According to recent studies, approximately 15 percent of the U.S. population has increased sensitivity to the plethora of chemicals, such as smoke, pesticides, plastics, synthetic fabrics, perfumes, petroleum products and paints that have invaded every aspect of our environment. Some 13 million Americans have been clinically diagnosed as being vulnerable to specific common chemicals. Welcome to the world of MCS ... Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. The Cleveland Clinic says MCS, also known as “environmental illness” or “sick building syndrome,” is the name given to a condition

in which various symptoms appear after a person has been exposed to any of a wide range of chemicals. WebMD lists the symptoms as headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, congestion, itching, sneezing, sore throat, chest pain, arrhythmia, respiratory problems, muscle pain or stiffness, skin rash, diarrhea, bloating, gas, confusion, trouble concentrating and memory problems and mood swings. Did I miss anyone? The rub for those who are suffering from chemical sensitivity is that the American Medical Association and American Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Immunol-

ogy contend that the connection between a patient’s symptoms and environmental exposure is speculative and evidence of disease is lacking. This puts those with MCS in an idiopathic black hole. There’s no doubt that high doses of some chemicals can make people sick. And there’s little debate of the negative health consequences of exposure to air pollution and cigarette smoke for those with respiratory challenges. How low levels of toxins affect people, however, has seen little empirical investigation and, consequently, little is known. Some experts suggest that it is an immune response similar to allergies, still others say symptoms stem from an extreme sensitivity to certain smells. While conventional science struggles with classifying chemical sensitivity, there is one aspect of MCS that is well understood. Sensitization is a well-established allergic reaction and once a person is sensitized to a particular irritant, a subsequent exposure of even a miniscule amount can cause an extreme allergic reaction.

The life of the typical MCS sufferer is a rough one. It is often difficult for them to convince doctors and family members that they are experiencing real ailments. They feel alienated from society and find it difficult to find a safe haven in a society with polluted air and sick buildings. Here’s some food for thought … seventy-thousand new chemicals have been introduced since WWII. Today, thousands of these chemicals appear innocuously on the shelves of grocery stores. Tune in next week for my conversation with local fitness and well-being advocate Katie Becker, owner of Phoenix Path. She’s so concern about the chemicals in her home that she makes all her own household cleaning products.

OBITUARIES TREMAYNE

Arthur Tremayne

Do not make fun of the ... When I learned to be a teacher, one of the things we were taught was to not make fun of the kids. Not that we could not laugh at the funny things they said or did. This is not that, this is mainly tourists. Even back in the 1890s, every spring there was an editorial in the newspaper warning locals to not make fun of the tourists. Most of you know I spent 16 years guiding tourists on the train up Pikes Peak, and I saw some very funny things done and said by tourists. The point is first of all, children are very impressionable, and laughing at the wrong time is not good for a “professional” relationship. Perhaps you may remember Art Linkletter. He was a 1940s to 1960s radio and television host. He wrote a couple books on reactions from children on his programs. He even had a segment about children, with the idea that someone was going to say something funny. His book “Children Say the Funniest Things” sold a million copies or more. Tourists are definitely funny when they have been taken to 14,000 feet above sea level, even those who live at this altitude. It has something to do with not enough oxygen. This is also caused by someone seeing the sheer grandness of the view. I have, however, over the years been asked some pretty unique questions about this area, and other places, down here at this altitude. I have talked to tour guides from Yellowstone Park, The Grand Canyon as well as other grand places and we all had funny questions from tourists. The most common one being “At what altitude do deer turn into elk?” I have had people who live in areas where they ought to know better than to ask it. I have written several books on local railroad history, but the book I have been

information. The BookWorms Book Club at Florissant Public Library will meet on Wednesday, April 15 at 10:30am to talk about the book “Not Becoming My Mother and other things she taught me along the way “ by Ruth Reichl. The Book Club at Woodland Park will discuss “The Husband’s Secret” by Liane Moriarty on Tuesday, April 7 at 10:30am and “Leaving Time” by Jodi Picoult on Tuesday, May 5. New members are always welcome at both libraries. Participate in the first annual Earth Day Chalk Art Challenge at Woodland Park Public Library on Saturday, April 18 from noon to 2 p.m. Express your creativity and show what Earth Day means to you by drawing on the sidewalks around the library. There will be crafts, activities and giveaways for

told would be really popular is one on these silly questions. The reply I give is that even though these questions are funny to those who get asked them, the average person does not think they are all that funny. For example, I have been asked at the top of that mountain, “Is this the top or the summit?” You must remember, there is a little marker for the actual summit, and then there are the two signs that say summit. One of the really odd questions asked there is, “Is this as high as we are going to go?” A century ago there was a tall tower where you could go higher. Another odd question, from those who did not really look too closely is, “Does the road come up to the same summit?” or, “Is that the same road the cars race on?” You see, many do not notice the large parking lot on the other side of the summit house. We see only one curve on the road as we climb to the top, as the railroad goes up the south side while the road is mainly on the north. Which leads one to ask as you see items in the newspaper; does the mountain really need a new summit house? If you spend any time up there in the summer, or even in the fall, Yes! At times there are more than 500 people on the summit at one time, and they all seem to want a cup of hot chocolate and doughnut ... or the bathroom.

1917 – Mar. 21, 2015.

Arthur Tremayne, age 97 passed away on March 21 in Cripple Creek, Co. He was of one of the original families who settled in the Cripple Creek area in the 1800’s. He had been mayor of Cripple Creek and President of School Board. He had been a district deputy to the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks Lodge and a past master of the Masonic Order. He was a member of numerous boards of directors and a civic leader throughout his life. A celebration of life will be held on April 18 at the Cripple Creek Elks Lodge at noon. Everyone is invited. In lieu of flowers please donate to the BPOElks no. 316 scholarship fund.

Forest treatments recommended

Upper Monument Creek restoration initiative builds on Roundtable suggestions

By Rob Carrigan

UPPER MONUMENT CREEK LANDSCAPE RESTORATION INITIATIVE COLLABORATIVE PARTICIPANTS

rcarrigan@colorado communitymedia.com

The Upper Monument Creek landscape, which has experienced increasingly severe and costly impacts from wildfire, including the record-setting 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire that burned across the landscape’s southern boundary, will be treated over the next seven to 10 years using a combination of mechanical, manual and prescribed fire methods on approximately 18,000 acres. The UMC Landscape Restoration Initiative was launched in 2012 to accelerate the pace of urgently needed forest restoration and build on the work of the Front Range Roundtable. That group has been working since 2004 to dramatically reduce wildfire risks to communities and restore resilient ecological conditions in Front Range forests. The Collaborative Report associated with the initiative recommends the following specific strategies and forest officials say they are proceeding accordingly.

Forest Treatments

The greatest benefit will be accrued through a combination of mechanical thinning, manual hand thinning and prescribed fire. Each tool produces benefits, but a combined treatment approach is most effective. Over the next 10 years, these treatments will consist of approximately 6,000 acres in mechanical thinning, 6,000 acres in manual hand thinning, 3,000 acres of site preparation and 3,000 acres of prescribed fire.

The majority of treatments will be focused in the landscape’s three primary forest systems: ponderosa pine, dry mixed-conifer and mesic mixed-conifer.

Treatments emphasize the creation of more open canopy conditions, and on retaining and fostering the underrepresented older age trees. The ponderosa pine-Douglas fir system should receive the most thinning treatment, followed by the dry mixedconifer system with recommended thinning treatment at approximately 5,900 and 4,300 acres respectively. Acres requiring prescribed fire are distributed across the three major forest systems. Treatment is also expected in the smaller lodgepole pine and Gambel oak systems, primarily for the purposes of wildfire risk reduction and/or preparation for prescribed fire in adjacent ponderosa pine-Douglas fir, or dry mixed conifer systems.

Total cost of treatment for the proposed management scenario will be $10 million over the next 10 years.

Carver outlines positions at meeting By Rob Carrigan

rcarrigan@colorado communitymedia.com State Representative Terri Carver identified specific positions on current and upcoming legislation when she held a town hall meeting on Saturday, March 28, at the Palmer Lake Town Hall. House District 20 covers all of El Paso County west of I-25 from the Douglas County line to Highway 115 near Fort Carson – including Palmer Lake, the Air Force Academy, Rockrimmon, Green Mountain Falls, Cascade, Mountain Shadows, and the Broadmoor area. It does not include Monument, Old Colorado City, Manitou Springs, or Skyway. Carver identified the following as priority legislation:

Education and Common Core

• Bill to get Colorado out of Common Core and PARCC testing, protect parent’s right to opt their children out of testing, and reduce testing requirements. • Bills to restrict data gathering on our children, and restrict who can see the data.

Military

• Bill to expand assistance to veterans who deploy in service to their country • The Military Family Relief Fund was created to help assist Colorado military families who face financial hardship due to deployment. The fund currently assists families of active duty military, reservists and members of the Colorado National Guard who are involuntarily deployed overseas. This bill would expand the eligibility to those who are voluntarily deployed as well. The Military Family Relief Fund comes from voluntary donations through the check-off on the State Income Tax form. This bill does not change the amount or source of funding. • Joint Colorado House-Senate Resolution to support Fort Carson and support of Colorado Serves (a statewide effort to support veterans and their families).

Decrease regulations on businesses and individuals

• Bill to mandate that state agencies consider small business exemptions and reduced (least cost) alternatives in state regulations. Bill also requires legislative re-

view of existing state regulations, to force a sunset of those regulations not authorized by state law. • Bill to exempt small Home Owners Associations from regulatory requirements. Rep. Carver is carrying this bill at the request of several constituents and HOA board members in House District 20. Second Amendment Rights • Bill to repeal 15 round magazine limit (repeal gun control bill passed in 2013). • Bill to repeal gun transfer background check and fee (repeal gun control bill passed in 2013).

Sanctity of Life and Freedom of Religion Issues

• “Born-alive” Infant protection bill, to require a physician performing an abortion to take all medically necessary steps to preserve the life of a born alive infant. • Bill to ban sex-selection abortions. • Bill to protect religious freedom – Specifies that no state action may burden a person’s exercise of religion.

Data Privacy

• Bill to expand confidentiality protections of personal data for domestic violence victims. Rep. Carver was made aware of this issue by County Treasurer Mark Lowderman and County Assessor Steve Schleiker.

Affordable Energy

• Bill to require that local governments must pay for property rights of mineral rights owners, if they ban oil/gas drilling (hydraulic fracturing). • Challenge EPA overreach in pushing costly and unnecessary regulations Election Integrity • Bill to require Photo ID for Same Day Voter Registration. • Bill to require signature verification on mail-in ballots.

Constitutional Rights

• “On Feb. 13th, I went to the floor to fight to protect our Constitutional right of free speech. I spoke out against HB15-1072 which would limit our right to criticize other people’s stance on issues on Facebook and other social media. Unfortunately, this badly written bill went way beyond protecting kids from cyberbullying. Our efforts to amend this bill were unsuccessful. We can only hope that our colleagues in the State Senate will defeat this unconstitutional bill.”

Myrtle Street it is for trailhead By Pat Hill

phill@coloradocommunitymedia.com In a public hearing on the Mount Dewey Trailhead, Green Mountain Falls Mayor Lorrie Worthey was the lone vote against establishing the location on Myrtle Street. Siding with the neighbors, 34 who have united as The Catamount Hill 34, Worthey expressed displeasure with the terrain leading to the trailhead. “I do not like the idea of hikers on Catamount (street),” she said. “Are we listening?” The public hearing March 17 was one of several over the past year. The controversy started when the Historic Green Mountain Falls Foundation bought the 120 acres on Mount Dewey to preserve the land as open space. But the situation changed when the trails

committee, led by Dick Bratton, proposed building a trailhead close to the neighbors’ property, including one on Myrtle Street. As a result, the gift of the open space became a lightning rod. Kimberly Hargrave led the charge against establishing the trailhead near her home and, in the process, united a group in protest. In a town vibrant with several trails, Willie Alexander questioned the need for another one. Alexander is a member of the planning commission who expressed regret for having approved a trailhead for Mount Dewey. The foundation, represented that evening by Jesse Stroope, favors the east Myrtle location. “Our intent in purchasing the property was to preserve it and re-establish an existing trail system,” Stroope said. “We have listened to the public input through the pub-

lic hearings and telephone calls; we’ve tried to take every one of those considerations into account.” In the past year, the foundation formed an advisory panel to look at the environmental impact of the trails as well as fire mitigation plans. “We have an existing system with eight social trails that trespass across these properties,” he said. “We are ready to start work at Myrtle Street to organize our trail system.” If unable to come to an agreement with the board, the foundation would support putting the trailhead on its own property adjacent to Myrtle Street, Stroope said. Nonetheless, the board, Chris Quinn, Michael Butts, Barbara Gardiner, Tyler Stevens and Don Ellis voted to approve the Myrtle Street Trailhead, a 260-foot trail in the street’s right of way.

OTHER ISSUES • The board delayed a decision on allowing the feeding of wildlife, particularly, geese and ducks. • Town Clerk Mary Duval introduced her new assistant, Renee Price, who lives in Woodland Park. • Duval reported that she is waiting for a reply from the Department of Local Affairs regarding the town’s debt of $86,000 in matching funds for the construction of Town Hall. • Police Chief Tim Bradley reported that he had handed in his year-end report to the board at the beginning of March and will only report once a month. However, Bradley has stopped giving public reports. • The board directed Duval to sign an audit agreement with Stockman Kast Ryan +Company, at a cost of $7,500 to $8,500 a year.

Report finds continuing Miner racial disparity in pot arrests Continued from Page 1

Total arrests fall after legalization, but blacks charged at higher rate

By Kristen Wyatt

Associated Press

The legalization of marijuana in Colorado hasn’t solved the racial disparities in enforcement that drugpolicy reformers had hoped to end, with blacks still far more likely than whites to be charged with pot-related crimes, a new report says. The report, issued last week by the pro-legalization Drug Policy Alliance, showed that marijuana arrests in Colorado all but stopped after voters made the drug legal in small amounts for those 21 and older. But the report noted continuing racial disparities involving the marijuana crimes that remain, including public use and possession in excess of the one-ounce limit. The study examined drug arrests in all 64 Colorado counties for two years before and two years after legalization in 2012. The total number of charges for pot possession, distribution and cultivation plummeted almost 95 percent, from about 39,000 in 2010 to just over 2,000 last year. Even after legalization, blacks were more than twice as likely as whites to be charged with public use of marijuana. Blacks were also much more likely to be charged with illegal cultivation of pot or possession of more than an ounce. “Legalization is no panacea for the longtime issues that law enforcement had with the black and brown

community,” said Art Way, Colorado director for the Drug Policy Alliance. Still, the overall drop-off in arrests is good news for minorities, said Tony Newman, also of the Drug Policy Alliance. “Despite the unsurprising racial disparities, these massive drops in arrests have been enormously beneficial to people of color,” Newman said. The analysis did not break out data for Colorado’s largest ethnic minority, Latinos. That’s because data comes from the National Incident-Based Reporting System, which does not tally numbers for Latinos. One of the region’s top officials for coordinating drug enforcement, Tom Gorman of the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program, insisted that officers are not racially profiling pot users. “Racial disparities exist in other laws. What does that mean, that homicide law, rape laws, weapon laws are racist? There are other factors going on here that we need to address,” Gorman said. After legalization, racial disparities did ease somewhat for marijuana distribution charges. Blacks accounted for about 22 percent of such arrests in 2010 and around 18 percent in 2014. The arrest data got a mixed response from the regional head of the NAACP. “The overall decrease in arrests, charges and cases is enormously beneficial to communities of color who bore the brunt of marijuana prohibition,” Rosemary Harris Lytle said in a statement. “However, we are concerned with the rise in disparity for the charge of public consumption and challenge law enforcement to ensure this reality

is not discriminatory in any manner.” In 2014, the year Colorado’s recreational marijuana stores opened, blacks were 3.9 percent of the population but accounted for 9.2 percent of pot possession arrests. For illegal marijuana cultivation, the disparities didn’t just persist. They got much worse. In 2010, whites in Colorado were slightly more likely than blacks to be arrested for growing pot. After legalization, the arrest rate for whites dropped dramatically but ticked up for blacks. In 2014, the arrest rate for blacks was roughly 2.5 times higher. The Drug Policy Alliance did not conduct a similar analysis in Washington state, which also legalized pot in 2012. But racial disparities appear to have persisted there, too. Last September, Seattle’s elected prosecutor dropped all tickets issued for the public use of marijuana through the first seven months of 2014 because most of them were written by a single police officer who disagreed with the legal pot law. About one-third of those tickets were issued to blacks, who make up about 8 percent of Seattle’s population. A researcher who did not work on the Drug Policy Alliance report, sociologist Pamela E. Oliver of the University of Wisconsin, said the numbers reflect greater law enforcement attention paid to blacks. “Black communities, and black people in predominantly white communities, tend to be generally under higher levels of surveillance than whites and white communities, she said in an email, “and this is probably why these disparities are arising.”

from the top to the bottom.” Frettard took the topaz to his friend, Francisco Sotomayor, the Divide sculptor whose works include the marble “American Woman,” and “Pas de Deux.” Sotomayor envisioned an eagle’s head and went to work. “I was just totally thrilled with it,” Frettard said. “He actually got both sides of the eagle — look how fine the beak is on this.” The eagle’s head glows in the sunlight. “It’s almost blinding,” he said. “The stone ended up weighing 2,075 carats.” As well, the head is the largest carved topaz in Colorado. “It’s so cool; Francisco did the eagle, the symbol for America,” Frettard said. “The stone dictated that for him.” The topaz is part of the partners’ 20-acre mining claim in the Agnus Dei, which is on the southeast portion of Pikes Peak. “It’s 2.5 miles and 3,600 feet in elevation. The film crews have to carry all their camera and audio equipment, their camping gear,” he said. The Prospector Show is seasonal, from May through September — Frettard and Cowman have signed on for the fourth season this year. “I like to encourage people — when I’m in there digging, pulling out gems, that there are ways to supplement your income,” he said. Reactions to the show have been positive, he said. “The show has influenced the economy in gems and minerals. It’s taken on a new interest with younger people,” he said. “Also older people — a lot of them have been sitting on their mineral slabs, their agates; they’re cranking up their saws again throughout country and the world.” As an economic driver, digging for gems or attending shows such as the one in Tucson every year generates money for hotels and restaurants, Frettard said. The Prospector Show is at 7 p.m. Sundays on the Weather Channel. “Our season is over, as far as the television show is concerned but re-runs will be on,” he said. “There are probably five other prospector families on the show. There are 10 episodes.” As well, Frettard is a member of the Lake George Gem and Mineral Club and offers tours of his Godsend Claim to his colleagues. “Bring your kids — it’s good dirty fun,” he said.

Expanded snow tire requirement passes toughest test Senate committee approves measure, but with reservations By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

A bill to require all motorists to use snow tires or chains during snowy months on Colorado’s major mountain highway has passed its toughest test in the state Legislature. The measure cleared the Senate Transportation Committee 5-0, but not before the committee chairman and other Republicans on the committee expressed doubts about how effective the requirement would be in improving jammed Interstate 70. “The largest problem here is volume,” not drivers with improper tires, said Sen. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction. And the head of the committee, Sen. Randy Baumgardner, warned he may try to change the bill when it gets to the Senate floor. “This piece of legislation may be a step to help, (but) I don’t think it’s the end-all, be-all,” said Baumgardner, RHot Sulphur Springs. Senators did change the bill to say the requirement would be in effect when designated by state transportation officials, instead of November through May. The measure has already passed the House.

Panthers bats get going in 20-3 victory Woodland Park picked up first win of season By Danny Summers

dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com The Woodland Park baseball team went the first four games of its season without any of its own players crossing home plate. That all changed in a big way in the team’s Class 4A Metro League game at Harrison on March 17. Tyler Bates paced the 17-hit offensive outburst by going 4 for 5 with three runs scored and four RBIs to help his club to a 20-3 victory. Dakota Herman tripled and belted an inside-the-park home run in his first two at bats of the season. He later singled, drove in

three runs and scored twice. No to be outdone, Zach Allen was 3 for 4 with four RBIs for the Panthers. The game was called after five innings due to the 10-run mercy rule. “It was a kind of nice to finally get our timing down,” said Woodland Park coach Cliff Richardson. “We got the good part of the bat on the ball and did some good things at the plate with runners on base.” Woodland Park pitchers Anthony Woods and Bates were the beneficiary of the offensive explosion. Woods started and went three innings to earn the victory. He allowed two runs (one earned) on no hits, striking out two and walking four. Bates allowed two hits and one unearned run in two innings, striking out five and walking two. The Panthers were scheduled to host Harrison on March 19, but a snowstorm swept into Teller County, cancelling school for two days as students went into spring

break. “It would have been nice to get that game in and have even more confidence heading into spring break,” Richardson said. “We haven’t been outside very much this season. It’s different when you’re hitting 45 feet away off a machine in the gym. Things are a little different when you’re facing a guy throwing from 60 feet outside.” The Panthers (1-4, 1-2) were outscored 46-0 in their first four games this season. That included league losses to Canon City of 17-0 and 12-0 in a doubleheader on March 14. “Canon City is a good team and if you don’t make plays behind your pitchers you’re going to be in trouble,” Richardson said. “Everything that could go wrong did go wrong in that first game.” Woodland Park has two league games this week against Sierra (March 31 and April 2) and a non-league home game against

Conifer on April 4. The Panthers stay busy next week, playing a pair of league games against Mesa Ridge and a non-league affair with Florence. “Conifer was 5-1 at last check and Florence was winless,” Richardson said. “The most important thing is that we take care of business against Sierra and Mesa Ridge.” Woodland Park’s offense was almost non-existent the first four games of the season. The team had five combined hits in the losses at Canon City. Woodland Park pitchers surrendered 36 hits in the two games against the Tigers. The Panthers had just one hit in a 14-0 loss to Brush on March 7. “We haven’t started the season the way we wanted to, but our goals are still the same,” Richardson said. “We believe if we get on a roll we can make good run and have a chance to make the playoffs.”

Minor leagues, Sky Sox, aim for faster games New rules to speed up play put into place this season at Triple-A and Double-A By Danny Summers

dsummers@colorado communitymedia.com

The Colorado Springs Sky Sox are on the clock. Then again, so are 59 other minor league baseball teams. Beginning this spring, Minor League Baseball announced rules and procedures aimed at improving the pace of play in games at the Triple-A and Double-A levels. The Sky Sox play in the Triple-A Pacific Coast League, which dates back more than 100 years. The procedures, created in partnership -with Major League Baseball, will monidtor the time taken between innings and pitches, and will limit the amount of time allowed during pitching changes. Umpires will continue to enforce rules prohibiting hbatters from leaving the batter’s box between pitches. Fans attending games at Security Service eField will notice timers that have been installed in plain view of umpires, players and Ifans to monitor the game. Timers have been -installed at all 30 Triple-A and Double-A parks. “The goal is to learn more about how efnfective it is as a tool to speed up the game,” said Chris Marinak, Major League Baseball’s senior vice president of league eco-

nomics and strategy. “We did it in the Arizona Fall League. We think that it showed promise in the fall league, but that was 16 games. We want to be very thoughtful and careful about understanding the impact of various rule changes.” The month of April will serve as a grace period, with players receiving warnings for infractions. Beginning May 1, rules will be enforced as written. The regulations and penalties for non-compliance are as follows: INNING BREAKS: Inning breaks will be two minutes, 25 seconds in duration. The first batter of an inning is encouraged to be in the batter’s box and alert to the pitcher with 20 seconds left on the inning break timer. The pitcher must begin his wind-up or begin the motion to come to the set position at any point within the last 20 seconds of the 2:25 break. Beginning May 1, should the pitcher fail to begin his wind-up or begin the motion to come to the set position in the last 20 seconds of the inning break, the batter will begin the at-bat with a 1-0 count. Beginning May 1, should the batter fail to be in the batter’s box and alert to the pitcher with five or more seconds remaining on the inning break timer, the batter will begin the at-bat with a 0-1 count. Umpires will have the authority to grant extra time between innings should special circumstances arise. The inning break timer will begin with the final out of the previous half-inning. For inning breaks during which God Bless America or any patriotic song is played in

Major League Baseball and Minor League baseball have partnered to find ways to speed up games. The Colorado Springs Sky Sox have installed a timer at Security Service Field in an effort to help speed up games. Photo by Pat Kelly which all action in the ballpark stops (similar to the national anthem), the timer will begin at the conclusion of the song. PITCHING CHANGES: The pitching change timer shall begin as soon as the relief pitcher crosses the warning track (or foul line for on-field bullpens) to enter the game. In the event a pitching change occurs during an inning break, the timer shall reset as soon as the relief pitcher crosses the warning track (or foul line for on-field bullpens). Umpires have the authority to reset the

timer at their discretion. Beginning May 1, should the pitcher fail to begin his wind-up or begin the motion to come to the set position in the last 20 seconds of the pitching change break, the batter will begin the at-bat with a 1-0 count. Beginning May 1, should the batter fail to be in the batter’s box and alert to the pitcher with five or more seconds remaining on the pitching change timer, the batter will begin the at-bat with a 0-1 count.

Local club increases its scholarship funding Lake George Gem & Mineral Club reaches out to Earth Science students By Norma Engelberg

Contributing writer

One of the Lake George Gem and Mineral Club’s prime missions is educating the public on the value and fun of geology and rockhounding. As part of that mission for many years to club has offered $500 scholarships to Park and Teller County high school seniors who plan to earn earth-science degrees. Major funding for the scholarship comes from the club’s annual rock

and gem show, this year Aug. 21-23 in Lake George. In some years, the club has received no scholarships applications but last year it awarded two scholarships totaling $750, both to Park County students. This year members began exploring ways to get local students more interested in applying for the scholarship. Recommendations included increasing the amount of the award and expanding the area and types of students the club can target. At the club’s March meeting, membership approved the following changes: Increased the award to up to $1,000. Membership will vote at the December business meeting to determine the amount and number of scholarships to be awarded

the following year based on the amount of money in the club’s treasury. A scholarship announcement will be made in the January club newsletter and a copy of the newsletter will be sent to school guidance counselors. The application deadline is April 1 and electronic submissions of letters of intent will be accepted. For 2015 only, the deadline is May 1. Applications will be reviewed by a committee consisting of the current club vice president and two volunteers from the club board or membership who have no family or financial ties to the applicants. The program was expanded to Park and Teller County seniors enrolled in any school program including home schools.

Children and grandchildren of current club members may also apply no matter where they live. Scholarships may also be awarded to Park and Teller students already enrolled in an accredited college or university earth science course. Scholarship funds will be awarded with proof of acceptance into a geologic Earth sciences or engineering courses at an accredited college or university. Scholarship winners will be required to send the club a letter within the first year of college stating how the award was used. The new guidelines are available on the club website, www.lggmclub.org.

50 YEARS AGO April 1, 1965 The Ute Pass Courier reported today that on March 17, at 10:30 a.m., the first shovel of dirt was turned in a formal ground breaking ceremony by Mayor Faunt Leroy, on a new building for Plateau Natural Gas Co. in Woodland Park.Present in the group were Leroy of Woodland Park, James Bryant, district manager for Plateau, Sterling Penman, building contractor from Green Mountain Falls and William L. Page, architect from Cascade. The building will be located in the West part of Woodland Park, on Walnut Street about one half block north of the new Park State Bank, also

designed by Page. ••• The week of April 4-11 has been proclaimed as Grange Week. When you are in Woodland Park, be sure to take a squint at the west window of the Mar Rae Building. There will be a display there, showing some of the achievements of Manitou Park Grange, and some of the programs of all Granges in general. The Grange is a family organization. It was founded as a Fraternal Order of Husbandry, and is the only association whose teachings accompany its members in their daily pursuits. The Grange does not interfere with the mem-

bers’ religious or political views, but in morality, it seeks the highest standard. ••• Mr. Glen Davis visited with Congressman Frank Evans this past week. The topic of their conversation concerned the development in the government and the interest being aroused therein about the opportunities provided by the Job Corp and Glen says “it looks good.” ••• In a recent article printed in the March 25 issue of the Ute Pass Courier, it was stated that Woodland Park had never had an ambulance service.

20-SECOND PITCH TIMER: Pitchers will be allowed 20 seconds to begin their wind-up or the motion to come to the set position. The pitcher does not necessarily have to release the ball within 20 seconds, but must begin his wind-up or begin the motion to come to the set position to comply with the 20-second rule. For the first pitch of an at-bat, the timer shall start when the pitcher has possession of the ball in the dirt circle surrounding the pitcher’s rubber, and the batter is in the dirt circle surrounding home plate. The timer will stop as soon as the pitcher begins his wind-up, or begins the motion to come to the set position.

residents know this is misinformation. We had a marshal and a deputy sheriff here by the name of Bill Rogers. He owned his own car which was ambulance equipped. From 1957 to 1964 he took 63 seriously ill patients to Colorado Springs hospitals. During that time we had no local physician. All Bill ever got was mileage for this service. ••• The going cost for a pound of ground round is 79 cents a pound. A pound of choice chuck roast is 43 cents a pound. — Compiled by Kathy Fleer

If the pitcher feints a pick off or steps off the rubber with runners on base, the timer shall reset and start again immediately. Umpires have the authority to stop the 20-second timer and order a reset. Following any event (e.g., pick-off play) that permits the batter to leave the batter’s box, the timer shall start when the pitcher has possession of the ball in the dirt circle surrounding the pitcher’s rubber, and the batter is in the dirt circle surrounding home plate. Following an umpire’s call of “time” or if the ball becomes dead and the batter remains at-bat, the timer shall start when the pitcher is on the pitcher’s plate and the batter is in the batter’s box, alert to the pitcher. Beginning May 1, should the pitcher fail to begin his wind-up or begin the motion to come to the set position in 20 seconds, a ball will be awarded to the count on the batter.

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MARCH 30, 2015

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) An unexpected problem should be handled as quickly as possible so that it doesn’t cause too much of a delay. Someone who knows what you’re facing could provide needed advice. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An unsettling situation seems to be taking forever to be resolved. Fortunately, your Bovine aptitude for patience is strong this week, so you’ll be more than able to wait it out. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Taking a stand against an uncalled-for situation involving a friend or co-worker isn’t easy, but somehow you’ll rise to the challenge and do it. Rely on advice from someone you trust.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) There are still some questions on all sides that need to be dealt with in order to allow hurt feelings to heal. Get your workplace tasks done early so that you can devote more time to loved ones. LEO LEO (July 23 to August 22) Consider a new spring makeover that will show all you Leos and Leonas in your best light. A new hairdo and some fashionable new clothes can help put a fresh glow on your image. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Some stormy, emotional weather can blow up in the workplace when an irate co-worker has strong words for you. But if you believe right is on your side, you’ll be able to ride it out. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Creating more balance in your life is especially important now so that you’re not distracted when you get into projects that will make demands on both your physical and mental energies. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) As much as you enjoy being right when others are not, show your generous side by offering to use what you know to everyone’s benefit. This way, you gain admirers and avoid resentment. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good week for the Archer to aim at healing relationships. Whether it’s at home, at work or among your friends, get everyone to set things straight and make a fresh start. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Although you like things done your way, this is a good time to listen to ideas from others. You might even find yourself agreeing with one or more of their suggestions. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Aspects favor positive action to reclaim your ideas from someone who might want the glory without doing any of the work. Expect to find many people rallying to support you. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might feel uneasy about taking that step forward at work or in your private life. But who knows better than you that while treading water keeps you afloat, it doesn’t get you anywhere. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of creating positive attitudes and making people feel good about themselves. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
