The Retail Coach in Tu-

In an interview with

Kline said the first 60 to
90 days of his team’s work
is focused on identifying
and profiling the custom-
er base for the Columbus
market. After that, he
said, his team will gener-
ate a target list of 25 to 30
retailers to “aggressively
recruit” to the city.
“We’re in the very ear-
ly stages of the market

said. “We’re trying to de-

Report: Propeller blade broke,

2017 crash in Mississippi killed 15

The Associated Press
JACKSON — Investiga-

riorating propeller blade
that broke off six years lat-
er as a U.S. Marine Corps
transport plane cruised
over Mississippi at 20,000
feet, causing the KC-130T
to break into pieces and
plunge into a soybean
field, killing 15 Marines
and a Navy corpsman.

and Starkville.”
So far, Kline said the
numbers look strong.
He indicated Columbus
boasts a “primary trade
area” of people who shop
in the city regularly of
about 60,000. The second-
ary market — consumers
who shop in Columbus
monthly to quarterly —
exceeds 185,000, he said.
“We’re also trying
to determine what kind
of people make up this
60,000 and 185,000,” he
said. “Are they people
with law degrees who
drive BMWs or do they
drive Ford F-150s and
work at Paccar?”
Kline shared those
numbers with media
members, business own-
ers and other community
stakeholders — including
downtown merchants and
members of the Columbus
Redevelopment Authori-
ty board — in a series of
meetings Wednesday. He
said communication and
gathering feedback from
stakeholders is a vital part
of developing a working
recruiting strategy.
“There are so many
assets here, from the Co-
lumbus Air Force Base
and MUW (Mississippi
University for Women), to
even the city’s proximity
to Mississippi State Uni-
versity (in Starkville),”
he said. “Columbus is the
principal city, as far as
retail, in the Golden Tri-
angle. Our goal ultimate-
ly is to tell that story and
paint a picture for nation-
al retailers that shows,
‘You need to be here, and
here’s why.’”
Retail prospects,
target areas
For big-box and mid-
sized retail, Kline’s team
is focused on recruiting
to corridors on High-

Our View

A good start for The Retail Coach

It’s still too early to tell
just how effective The Retail
Coach will be in reinvigorat-
ing Columbus’ retail sector.
Even Will Kline, project
manager for the Tupelo firm,
said Wednesday, “We’re in the
first inning of the first game of
what we hope will be a sev-
en-game series.”
Early signs, though, are
very encouraging.
On Wednesday, a little
more than a month after The
Retail Coach officially began
its one-year contract with
the city, Kline spent the day
meeting with media, business
owners and other community
stakeholders in retail success
— a good-faith effort toward
developing comprehensive
goals that include all neces-
sary voices.
During those meetings,
Kline emphasized the need to
bolster Columbus’ major retail
corridors, along Highway 45
and in East Columbus, by re-
cruiting big-box and mid-sized
businesses. His team now is
crunching numbers to develop
a list of up to 30 such retailers
that would be good candidates
to come to the city. Then the
firm will “aggressively re-
cruit” from that list, landing as
many prospects as possible.
Kline’s strategy, however,
doesn’t end there.
He also vowed to be an ally
to downtown development,
and he seems to understand
how recruiting for downtown
is a much different process
than trying to bring in chain
stores to a highway corridor.
Plus, The Retail Coach has
worked successfully with oth-
er Mississippi communities,
such as Vicksburg, Clinton
and Ripley. Over the past 18
years, Kline said, 88 percent
of the company’s government
clients renew their contract
with The Retail Coach for at
least a second year.
The city is paying The
Retail Coach $38,000 over the
next 12 months to develop
and execute a plan that will
add both sales and ad valorem
tax value, reduce consumer
spending leakage to surround-
ing cities and stem the tide of
retail shrinkage here at home.
Many challenges lay ahead
to get to that point, some of
them more complex than oth-
ers — not the least of which is
how to sustainably grow brick-
and-mortar in an increasingly
e-commerce landscape.
But in this early stage of
the process, we applaud Kline
and his team for their thought-
ful planning and willingness
to communicate with the
public so far. We hope that
continues.

Bringing the future back

If only the leaders in
Washington would take a comparable interest in
preserving the environment for the generation to
come.
They do not. Until the Trump years, there was
bipartisan support for bequeathing to future Amer-
icans a country resembling the beautiful one the
politicians inherited. Sure, there were differences,
but there was a basic understanding that the inter-
ests of those not old enough to vote — or not yet
born — should be considered.
The Trump administration’s lust for opening
pristine public lands and even natural monuments
to industrial ravage is unprecedented. It’s become

change other than make it worse as governing of a
depraved nature.
So numb has Trump made the public on this
issue that his decision to bury the devastating
National Climate Assessment by issuing it the
Friday after Thanksgiving drew little shock. The
administration didn’t even care enough to change
the findings.
The report predicts that higher temperatures
will help spread deadly tropical diseases across the
heartland. It foresees torrential rainfall drowning
water and sewer systems, ironically threatening
the supply of drinkable water. Food production will
be threatened.
Infrastructure will collapse. Drought will in-
tensify. And the West will suffer more fires. Many
thousands of Americans will die simply from the
heat.
The report was put together by 13 federal agen-
cies. An official in Trump’s Environmental Protec-
tion Agency predictably dismissed the report as a
product of the “deep state” — that is, bureaucrats
conspiring against the president. “We don’t care,”
Steven J. Milloy said.
For those who care only about money, the report
comes with pretty dismal economic predictions.
For example, the damage from warming weather
could chop 10 percent off the U.S. economy by the
end of the century.
There are more and more Americans who will
still be around by then. Many young people and
their children can expect to welcome the 22nd
century — assuming they survive the 21st.
Small wonder the younger slice of the elector-
ate has started to amplify its voice at the polls.
Some 31 percent of eligible voters ages 18 to 29
cast ballots in the recent midterms — the highest
level of youth participation in a midterm in the past
25 years. Democrats got 67 percent of their vote,
versus only 32 percent for Republicans.
Voters of all ages are already experiencing the
alarming effects of climate-driven weather events.
As fires consume big chunks of the West, floods
inundate parts of the East Coast.
The new freshman class of House members,
meanwhile, won’t be judging the world by how
much its members can retire on in four years. Hav-
ing been whacked by the Great Recession, millen-
nials, for one, find themselves worrying about both
house prices and house elevation — the higher the
property, the less worry about flooding and oven
temperatures.
For younger people, climate change will bring
political crises, in addition to weather-related ones.
They will be confronted with global chaos un-
leashed when millions around the world must flee
from their no-longer-inhabitable villages and cities.
The most expensive watch can be replaced. But
as it’s been said, there’s no Planet B. Planet A must
be looked after for the next generation.

Court won’t reopen lawsuit about Confederate-themed flag

Lawsuit: Flag is ‘racially demeaning and hostile’
EMILY WAGSTER PET TUS
The Associated Press
JACKSON — A federal appeals
court is not reviving a lawsuit that
tried to block a Mississippi city from
flying the state flag that includes the
Confederate battle emblem.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Ap-
peals this week affirmed a district
judge’s decision that dismissed the
lawsuit against Ocean Springs.
The lawsuit called the flag “ra-
cially demeaning and hostile” and
claimed the city violated the federal
Fair Housing Act by flying the flag
and sending the message that black
people are unwelcome.
U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola
Jr. ruled in June that plaintiffs didn’t
prove they suffered unequal treat-
ment by the Ocean Springs govern-
ment. A panel of three appeals court
judges agreed Monday.
“The only act they allege is the
City’s resolution requiring the Mis-
sissippi state flag to be flown over
public buildings,” the appeals court
judges wrote. “That is not a ‘dis-
criminatory housing practice’ as
required by the FHA, and plaintiffs
are therefore not ‘aggrieved per-
sons’ under the statute.”
Ocean Springs didn’t fly the Mis-
sissippi flag for several years under
a previous mayor. After a new mayor
took office in July 2017, city officials
returned the flag to some municipal
buildings.

Alsobrooks
Continued from Page 1A
After months of search-
ing for a president, EMCC
board chairman Jimmie
Moore said the board of-
fered Alsobrooks the po-
sition during Monday’s
board meeting.
“We were methodical
and tried to do everything
we could to get a great
pool of candidates,” Moore
said. “I think we accom-
plished that feat. Now we
have, what I perceive is,
the right man for the job.
We felt like he was the best
candidate of those that we
interviewed to serve as our
next executive leader as
president.”
Alsobrooks has served
as vice president at PRCC
since 2011. Moore said it
was Alsobrooks’ impres-
sive resume in both edu-
cation and manufacturing
that helped solidify the
board’s decision.
Alsobrooks previously
worked as an operations
engineer for Rockwell In-
ternational at the Stennis
Space Center in Picayune.
He later served as a super-
visor for the Fluid Compo-
nent Processing Facility.
“He has approximately
three decades of experi-
ence, some in industry
and some in the commu-
nity college environment,”
Moore said. “He’s knowl-
edgeable of all aspects of
a Mississippi community
college. He’s an excellent
communicator, a docu-
mented innovator and
he’s not afraid of any chal-
lenges. I think he will be a
great leader for our institu-
tion moving forward.”
Alsobrooks said he
heard about the EMCC
presidential opening
through a channel of col-
leagues throughout the
state. As a Mississippi
State University gradu-
ate, he said he’s excited to
move back to the Golden
Triangle.
“I’ve watched what’s
been going on in the Gold-
en Triangle,” Alsobrooks
said. “The (manufactur-
ing) renaissance that you
have is just really amaz-
ing. When I was a stu-
dent in the ‘80s, between
Starkville and Columbus,
it was just cow pastures.
Now, you drive through
there and you’ve got all
these big manufacturing
plants and they’re making
helicopters and engines
and just all kinds of ad-
vanced things. I’m excited
about coming up here and
being a part of that and
helping students be suc-
cessful.”
Alsobrooks touted the
future role of EMCC’s
Communiversity under
construction on Highway
82, which is partnering
with Golden Triangle
counties, cities and indus-
tries to provide specialized
manufacturing training,
“The Communiversity
is going to be a huge asset
in the community,” he said.
“I’m excited about working
with the stakeholders and
rolling up our sleeves and
getting to work.”
He is also a former en-
gineering coordinator and
instructor for the College
of Science and Technology
and the Lean Enterprise
Center at the University
of Southern Mississippi.
He has been working with
PRCC for the last decade
and said his dedication will
help bring EMCC a reliant
leader.
“I’m not a job hopper,”
Alsobrooks said. “I plan on
staying a while. I will add
stability. I know that if we
all work together to make
sure our students are suc-
cessful, that will be key.
(We can’t) let people come
into college and flounder
around not knowing what
they want to do with their
life. We need to give them
the tools to determine the
types of jobs are available
and what they can do.”
Since serving at PRCC
for the last decade, Also-
brooks hopes to use his
experience to increase stu-
dent retention at EMCC.
“Every college is differ-
ent, but we’re a lot alike,”
Alsobrooks said. “A lot of
the successes we’ve had
at PRCC, I will be able to
share with EMCC. Pearl
River has done a good job
with student retention.
Our enrollment has been
up four years in a row.
That’s because we’ve done
a good job helping stu-
dents get on the right path
early. That’s something I’ll
bring to EMCC.”
Alsobrooks said he will
assume the presidential
role as soon as he has fin-
ished obligations at his
current position. He hopes
to arrive in late January.
“It’s bittersweet leav-
ing, but I’m so excited
and it’s going to be fun,”
Alsobrooks said. “I look
forward to showing the op-
portunities to people and
letting them know what we
have available at East Mis-
sissippi.”

I won and I didn’t believe
him,” Langford said.
“Honestly my first
thought was, ‘I’ve got to
pay taxes on this thing,’”
she added laughing. “I’m
still a little dumbfound-
ed.”
She said her friends,
family and coworkers
have all been ecstatic at
her news.
“The way they react,
you’d think they’d won
the car,” she said. “Ev-
erybody’s like, ‘I’ve never
known anybody that’s
won a car.’”
‘Fun little car’
Langford requested
the car be delivered to
Leigh Mall on Highway
45, where it arrived Nov.
29 from Pittsburgh, Penn-
sylvania. She said it drove
through snow and ice to
get here.
Langford’s parents
dropped her off at the
mall to pick up the car
and drove her Land Rover
back to her house that
afternoon.
So far she’s only
driven the BMW to-and-
from work, though she
added she’s been tempted
to take it at high speeds
along Caledonia’s coun-
try roads — a temptation
she’s resisted so far.
“It is a fun little car to
drive,” she said. “But it is
kind of small and com-
pact, and you see how low
it is. ... It handles good.”
She added she is
grateful to the fraternity
not only for the car but
for helping the process
of getting it to Lowndes
County go smoothly.
“The paperwork, the
dealership, everybody’s
been great handling it,”
she said. “It’s been very
easy.”
Strong hasn’t been for
a ride in it yet.
“Hopefully she’ll take
me around the corner one
of these days,” he said.
Still he said he’s most-
ly happy that someone he
knows won the car, which
will bring attention to
Omega Psi Phi chapters
in the Golden Triangle.
As a whole, the raffle
raised $40,000, half of
which will go to St. Jude
Children’s Research Hos-
pital, Strong said. The
other half of the proceeds
will be divvied between
community outreach
programs which different
Omega Psi Phi chapters
are involved in.
Langford said she was
particularly happy pro-
ceeds from the raffle are
going to St. Jude. She ran
a 5K during its Memphis
Marathon Weekend last
weekend, a course which
took her through the
hospital’s grounds.
“They have (families

gets emotional running

going through but they’re
out there cheering us on
while we walk and run,
that’s pretty impressive.”
She’s glad to partici-

As happy as Langford
is about winning the car,
she’s considering selling

hand, she said, plenty of
her friends and family

Langford agreed.

Armstead returns to help Saints in stretch drive

By BRET T MARTEL
The Associated Press
METAIRIE, La. — The New
Orleans Saints are closer to get-
ting back their second-highest-paid
offensive player as they try to re-
bound from a first loss in more than
two months — and lock down a
playoff berth.
Starting left tackle Terron Arm-
stead returned to practice Wednes-
day, marking his first time in pads
since his pectoral injury at Cincinna-
ti in Week 10. The injury cost Arm-
stead three games, including New
Orleans’ loss last Thursday night
in Dallas, when the Cowboys’ de-
fensive line consistently pressured
quarterback Drew Brees and lim-
ited the Saints’ ground game to 65
yards — the fewest since Week 2.
“He’s a difference maker for sure
and big confidence when he’s there
on the left side,” Brees said of Arm-
stead, who has been a starter since
late in his rookie season in 2013, but
who also has been beset by various
injuries much of his career.
Armstead, listed as “limited” on
the club’s practice report Wednes-
day, said his recovery has been “go-
ing pretty well” and that he might
be ready to play Sunday against
Tampa Bay.
“Time away, that’s never great.
You get in a rhythm so much with
your guys up front — my technique,
my timing — so that will be a learn-
ing curve and adjustment,” Arm-
stead said, adding he at least hopes
the rest of his body benefited from
recent rest as high-stakes games
approach.
“I’ve been battling injuries for
a long time, so definitely hard to
find positives in an injury for me,”
Armstead said. “But just thinking
of it ... my body definitely has some
things, some bumps and bruises,
and I took the time and benefited
off of it for sure. But I would much
rather have been playing.”
Right guard Larry Warford said
Armstead’s return to practice was
good for morale, even if it’s not yet
clear when he’ll be ready.
“I’m just happy that it seems that
he’s making progress,” Warford
said. “He’s one of the best, if not the
best, left tackle in the league. Un-
fortunately, he’s had injuries hinder
him throughout his career.”

Carlisle had a record of
571-252 in 29 years as base-
ball coach at Starkville High.
He spent more than 30 years
as an educator before official-
ly retiring from teaching and
coaching at the end of the 2011
season. Working as a part-time
employee, Carlisle was allowed
to return to coach the Starkville
High baseball team in 2012. In
March 2012, Starkville honored
its longtime coach with Danny
Carlisle Day.
Carlisle, a 1971 graduate of
Starkville High who went on to
earn a degree from Mississippi
State, led the school’s baseball
program to Class 5A State titles
in 1986, 1987, and 1991. The
Clarion-Ledger named Carlisle
its coach of the year in 1986 and
1991. Carlisle had his No. 24 re-
tired in his final season.
“The first time meeting him
as coach at Columbus I remem-
ber just how genuine of a guy
he was,” said former Columbus
High baseball coach Jeffrey
Cook. “You could just tell he
was a sincere guy who cared
gram. That meant a lot for me
to be close to a coach who had
been in the business for so long
and was doing it the right way.”
Cook said Carlisle believed
in his kids so much, which ex-
plains why the Yellow Jackets
played so hard for their coach.
Longtime baseball coach
Stacy Hester, who is now the
head coach at Central Hinds
Academy, agreed with Cook.
He, too, had plenty of stories
about Carlisle from their years
of battles in public school base-
ball. Hester praised Carlisle for
helping him make his initial ad-
justment from private school to
New Hope High.
“The thing about Danny I
always remembered was his
success,” Hester said. “He had
a lot of his successes before I
got to New Hope. He was pretty
sharp with some of the things
he would say to kids to motivate
them, and at the end of the day
that is what we do.
“He knew the rules so well. I
always felt like when he argued
with the umpire I had to go

loss by Carolina, who New
Orleans plays twice in the fi-
nal three weeks of the regular
season. Whether the Saints
remain in contention for one
of the coveted top two seeds
in the conference and receive
a first-round bye, depends on
how they respond to their first
loss since Week 1.
In New Orleans’ locker
room, players predicted the
13-10 loss in Dallas, which halt-
ed a 10-game winning streak,
was more likely a brief stumble
than the beginning of a slump.
“Sometimes you have to
lose a battle to win the war and
you learn a lot from something
like that,” Brees said. “I just
think we had a bad day. You
turn on the film and it’s glar-
ingly obvious where we failed
and we have to make sure that
doesn’t happen again.”
On New Orleans’ defense,
confidence is surging after a
seven-sack, two-takeaway per-
formance in Dallas that also
marked the fourth straight
game holding an opponent to
17 or fewer points.
Against the Cowboys,
the Saints’ normally prolific
offense was the unit which
struggled most. But since of-
fense-minded coach Sean Pay-
ton and Brees joined forces in
New Orleans in 2006, that side
of the ball rarely has stagnated
for more than a rare game.
Brees said the opportunity
to clinch the NFC South for
the second straight year is
“significant,” and would be a
“first step” toward more lofty
postseason goals. He said the
Saints’ commanding four-
game lead in the division with
four games left speaks to the
quality of football they played
during their winning streak,
when they became the only
team to beat the Los Angeles
Rams and won several other
games by wide margins.
“That was a great run. We
gained a ton of confidence, a
ton of momentum,” Brees said.
“We had a ton of guys step up
and play really well — guys
that we’re going to need down
the stretch.
“We really established an
identity for ourselves as an
offense and a defense,” Brees
added. “We know how to play
winning football.”
n Peppers, Miller,
Davis among 32 NFL Man
of Year finalists: At New York,
Julius Peppers, Von Miller
and Vernon Davis are among
the 32 nominees announced
Thursday for the NFL’s Walter
Payton Man of the Year award.
Unlike in the past, when
three finalists were selected
before a recipient was chosen,
one player from every NFL
team is a finalist. All will be
recognized and participate in
NFL functions during Super
Bowl week. The Man of the
Year will be revealed at NFL
Honors, when The Associated
Press’ individual NFL awards
are announced Feb. 2 (Satur-
day night) in Atlanta.
The Man of the Year is
honored for outstanding com-
munity service off the field,
as well as excellence on it. It
was established in 1970 and
renamed in 1999 for the Hall of
Fame running back.
A total of $500,000 will be
donated in the name of the
2018 recipient, with $250,000
going to Character Playbook,
the NFL and United Way’s dig-
ital character education pro-
gram. An additional donation
of $250,000 will be made to the
charity of his choice.

who worked for Carlisle, Short
has plenty off stories. One of the
first he remembers is the time
he ejected Carlisle. It is the only
time he has ejected a coach in
his years as an official for base-
ball, softball, and football.
But just as Carlisle would
come out to argue a call he
thought was incorrect, he would
acknowledge your hard work,
even if he had to use a little trick-
ery. Short said he recalls a few
occasions when Carlisle would
come out to talk to him after a
close play. He said Carlisle could
be animated, but he always was
respectful and made sure to
praise an umpire if he thought
they made the right call.
“He was passionate and emo-
tional during the game, but when
the game was over it was over,”
Short said. “He was a good guy.
He loved the kids He loved the
sport. He made Starkville High
School baseball what it is.”
Michael Bradley, the former
football coach at New Hope High
who is now football coach at
South Pontotoc High, also has
plenty of stories about working
for Carlisle as an umpire in
District 4. Bradley said Carlisle
would never run to confront
an umpire. He said he would
walk down from third base to
home plate or out to the field
to have his say. When Carlisle
arrived, Bradley said he might
be animated or wave his hands
to show the fans he was sticking
up for his players, but he usually
had something good to say to an
umpire.
“One of the first times when I
was umpiring in District 4, I was
behind the plate and they were
batting and I called a kid out,”
Bradley said. “Coach Carlisle
comes walking up there. As he
walked up there, you could tell,
‘Oh God, here we go.’ He had a
look on his face and I had heard
how hard he was and I was kind
of bracing myself for it. He gets
five to 10 feet from me and he
says, ‘Let me tell you something
here.’ He is waving his arms and
I say, ‘Wait a minute coach,’ and
he says, ‘That was a great call.’
He is waving his arms and he is
turned away from the crowd to
make all of these people happy.
He said, ‘I don’t think they think
was a great call, but I think it was
a great call.’ ... He walked back
from home plate to the third base
coaching box and I sat there and
watched him walk back and I
wondered what in the world just
happened.”
Bradley said you always could
expect Carlisle’s baseball teams
to be very disciplined, to play ex-
tremely hard, to be well coached,
to know the fundamentals, and
to play with good sportsman-
ship. He said Carlisle instilled a
lot of values in kids that people
take with them long after the
get through playing high school
sports. Bradley said he is quite
certain coach Carlisle influenced
a lot of good men due to them
having played baseball for him.
“Coach Carlisle genuinely
cared for other people,” said
Bradley, who also became a
business partner with Carlisle
for three years. “He would give
you the shirt off his back to give
you a chance to do better or if it
would help you. I never played
for him. I had a chance to build
a personal friendship with him.
But kids know whether you care
about them or not. I am quite
certain the kids who played for
him knew he genuinely cared
about their well being and that
he wanted them to become
better baseball players but better
people. When a person knows
you care for them and want what
is best for them they will do
almost anything for you. I am
quite certain those kids felt that
and believed in him because he
believed in them as people.”
Unfortunately, Carlisle never
officially joined the ranks of um-
pires in District 4. He remained
a presence at Starkville High’s
baseball field following his re-
tirement. Carlisle even traveled
with Bradley to attend Ole Miss
games for The Dispatch. Wher-
ever he went, Carlisle was an
ambassador for Starkville High
and its baseball program. Like
all great coaches, he demanded
your best and expected nothing
less. The state has lost a giant.

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec.
6). Don’t worry about being he-
roic. Heroism is the byproduct
of doing the right thing con-
sistently. That’s the true aim
of your heart so you can’t go
wrong. More highlights: the pur-
chase of property, a leadership
role in which you share what
inspires you, inspiring others
along the way, and countless
escapades with a jolly friend.
Pisces and Scorpio adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 8, 20,
BABY BLUES 7, 22 and 19.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Tune into the subtleties
of your language. Avoid using
words that convey pessimism,
cynicism or sarcasm. Ditch the
negativity, not because others
are listening, but because you
are.
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Anyone not at the meeting
gets talked about. So go to
the meeting. It will show your
solidarity with the group. Maybe
lower your expectations first. It
could get boring. Little will be
decided or learned. Go anyway.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
It’s one thing to accept that
you’re human and you’ve made
mistakes and quite another
to actually love your mistakes
because they contributed to
who you are. Also, no one can
(or wants to) relate to seeming-
ly flawless people.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Good living is like good
chocolate; there’s a little
bitterness in there but not too
much. Acknowledge and explore
your negative feelings (they
are part of the recipe, too), but
don’t dwell there. Life is mostly
sweet!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
You’ll advise and be advised
today. A good thing to keep in
mind is that no single piece of
advice fits every person. Even if
it were the soundest and best
line of thought in the entire
world, it still wouldn’t be right
for all.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Because you want to experi-
ence more, you’ll meet different
sorts of people and let them in-
fluence you, all the while never
losing sight of who you are. You
can do this because your roots
grow deep.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
No one likes being in environ-
ments they can’t, at least to
some extent, control. An envi-
ronment has become stifling.
You may resent having to be
there. But you can influence
this place. Look for ways. There
are untried options.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Unencumbered people
move quickly. Something is
weighing you down. Throw the
baggage overboard. A person
without baggage is a person
who will soon be getting new
things.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). While there’s nothing
less funny than a person trying
too hard to be funny, you ap-
preciate the effort. In this and
other ways, people will try to
impress you. It’s flattering.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Each phase of the day has
a gift. Morning gives you your
freshest mind. Afternoon gives
you a body warmed up and
ready for the hardest thing it
has to do today. Night gives you
the need to give and receive for
loving comfort.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). There is no “perfect.” And
if there were, it would only close
your mind to new ideas and
standards. Instead of seeking
the ideal, seek a solution that’s
as quirky and flexible as you
are.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You may be agitated by
today’s sky because it calls
for more honesty than you feel
would be kind. Perhaps the
poet Kahlil Gibran can help: “If
indeed you must be candid, be
candid beautifully.”
