The brainchild of Natalie Cabanaw, a fave wait staffer of yours and mine, “Third Thursdays” has brought in hundreds upon hundreds for our area agencies. “It’s a great way for people who don’t have a lot of cash to help donate,” says Natalie. “It adds up!” Natalie donates all of her tips the night of the event – as does bartender Andrew Hilton. Additional wait staff pitches in, and 20 percent of the total food bill goes straight to the agency. The notfor-profit is asked to take the reins in advertising the event. J uly’s beneficiary is one of Natalie’s favorites -- Stepping Stones (www.steppingstones-inc. org), a nonprofit, independent organization that offers transitional housing for young people (16-20 years old) who are experiencing homelessness. Three groups of young people experience homelessness: “system youth,” young people currently in foster care or transitioning out of it; “runaway youth,” who leave homes to escape physical N ick’s menu of burgers, sandwiches, steaks, strombolis, pizza and beloved jambalaya is available as always, not to mention the full range of brews, wines and mixed drinks. “We can all help our friends in need,” says social justice activist Dee Hupp-Sanders. “Natalie shows how everyday folks can utilize their resources to make the world a better place.” D and/or sexual abuse, substance abuse, or domestic violence; and “throwaway youth,” who are neglected or pushed out of their homes by parents or guardians. “What a wonderful agency!” Natalie says, acknowledging two alarming trends: an increasing number of young people experiencing homelessness and a greater risk for young people to be homeless than for adults. Buying, Selling, Remodeling or Building a Home? Going green may be easier than you think! • Energy savings • Tax credits • Site and Materials Selection • Lender Information • Comfort and Air Quality • Affordability ee and Natalie are collaborating on a benefit for A Gathering Place, a Sunday-morning hot meal program located just down the street from Nick’s at First Christian Church (www.fcc-blmgtn. org). The fall event at Nick’s will help volunteers secure food to feed our community members without an address. Melissa McReynolds can be reached at galfriday07@hotmail.com.

Any late afternoon glitches are temporary. commence on July 14. Launching anything new right now would be a mistake as it will never quite seem to get off the ground. High vibrations charge the air as the day progresses – revelations and acts of defiance may be in evidence as well as scientific discoveries and breakthroughs. Moon in exact alignment with Neptune, we might be noticing a vague sense of anxiety or insecurity – particularly over the next two weeks. Today would be a better day to make last-minute changes to a new project than diving in head-first – you can do that tomorrow. Saturday, July 7 Wednesday, July 11 With the Aries Moon entering its Last Quarter Phase, this is a good week to bend your energies toward the completion and follow-through of projects and plans in progress while shunning any new business. Information overdose? With the Gemini Moon moving into its closing phase, this is a good day to ride the wave. Sorting through old bills and correspondences, mailings and anything else you put off during Mercury retrograde may be a drag, but Someone’s got to do it. Everything else points to endings and completions ahead of Saturday’s New Moon in Cancer. A great day to roll up your sleeves and tackle a project you’ve been contemplating over the past month. Then again, with the Moon in playful Leo, you might find a more entertaining way to spend the day. Big, bold and upbeat energies are active through the late afternoon. Biweekly forecast for all signs by Gary Paul Glynn hese next two weeks could provide Tsome interesting distractions and re- actions as Mercury stations direct on July 8 while the Moon is in its closing phase. For best results, complete unfinished business but hold off on anything new until July 16. The recent Saturn-Neptune opposition coincided with skewed Supreme Court rulings, a further weakening of the economy, Dick Cheney’s imagination and the usual assortment of executive scandals. With Venus translating between Saturn and Neptune, our collective value system is likely to undergo alterations in the weeks and months ahead. Wednesday, July 4 Independence Day. Good day to contemplate the overused word: Freedom. Moon in Pisces today suggests a desperate case of flag-waving and too much beer. Given clear skies, this would be good night to catch a sky show. Oooo! Ahhhh! Thursday, July 5 The party’s over for those not taking the rest of the week off. Unexpected developments this afternoon could force a sudden reversal, triggering clever thinking on your part. Or you might simply register this lunar alignment as more restlessness and/or dissatisfaction with the status quo than usual. Friday, July 6 If you feel as though you’ve been wandering in the fog these past two days, things become clearer later this morning when the Moon enters Aries. This is an action-oriented Moon-sign combination that can give you an attitude boost Attention Gardeners! July 4, 2007 Sunday, July 8 Energy levels remain high through most of the morning hours although the Aries Moon goes void-of-course (VOC) between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Plans made during this 5-hour Limbo are likely to turn out differently than planned – which might be a very good thing. Speaking of a good thing, the Moon enters the sensuous earth sign of Taurus at 2:00 p.m., even as its ruler, Venus forms an irresistible alignment with Pluto. The potential for passion and hot ‘n’ steamy sex is there if you have a way to make it happen to begin with. Not in the cards? Don’t worry, this same alignment will reoccur in mid-August and again in October – maybe you’ll get lucky! Monday, July 9 Stubborn refusals or practical maneuvers are in the offing first thing this morning while the communication sphere shows signs of overloading as Mercury begins to station ahead of turning direct at 10:15 p.m. Too much information! Thursday, July 12 Something once hidden is brought to light. A five-hour timeout is called by the Gemini Moon VOC at 1:38 p.m. – this afternoon is a poor time to reach agreements or make final decisions. The mental emphasis of the past few days shifts to an emotional gear tonight when the Moon enters Cancer at 6:39 p.m. Closer attention to your feelings might provide relief from perplexing conundrums only made worse by thinking about them all the time. Friday, July 13 In the dark of the Cancer Moon, the stage is cleared for a new cycle to commence tomorrow morning. Finishing touches are applied and final details are hammered out. Good night to spend at home, surrounded by family and friends. Tuesday, July 10 Saturday, July 14 With Mercury now moving direct, it is presumably safe to sign it, send it, or get the message. Factoring in the Moon in its closing phase, Mercury can lend itself to finishing up old business, clearing the decks for a new phase of activity to The Cancer New Moon takes place at 8:04 a.m. (21Can41), opening a new solar-lunar cycle with a domestic emphasis. Issues surrounding security, privacy and family play a key role in decisions made over the coming month. With the New Sunday, July 15 Monday, July 16 Even with energy levels relatively high, there might be some cloudy thinking to cut through in the early afternoon. A more serious, funky vibe is indicated later in the day that may leave you feeling heavier than usual. Look to the western sky after sunset tonight and tomorrow night as the Moon joins Saturn, Venus and the fixed star, Regulus. Tuesday, July 17 Alignments created by the Virgo Moon could correspond with shifting attitudes throughout the day. Relationships may lie open on the dissection table, ready for closer scrutiny. With Venus preparing to turn retrograde in ten days, greater emphasis will surround partnerships and their overall value.

Want to know one of the fastest and surest ways to become a social outcast, while alienating your friends and sometimes losing your family network? In case you don’t know, all you have to do is let folks know that you are a lesbian – or gay, or bisexual or transgender, and you will discover that the very fabric of your personal, cultural environment was made of a puff of air. Poof, it’s gone, and there you are standing alone on a precipice of guilt and fear.

In Monroe County government, the County Council holds the purse strings. It could be said that the county auditor holds the keys. The County Commissioners pick out much of the stuff that’s in the bag. Through a system of checks and balances it should mostly work out that the council isn’t too much of a stingy tightwad or a spendthrift. The auditor ought to know which key to use to drive the car ... and the County Commissioners should manage the sundries and toiletries in the bag.
