It celebrates American workers. I looked it up and found that the first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882 in New York City. Since then it has become a national holiday and usually the day before school begins in the fall. I learned also that the form the observance and celebration of Labor Day should take was outlined in the first proposal of the holiday—a street parade to exhibit to the public the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families. The holiday has changed over the years but still pays tribute to the strength, freedom and leadership of the American worker. “Wow, that’s a mouthful,” said Kate. “But I get it. It’s a super holiday to pay tribute to us working class stiffs.” Our favorite Bingo hall staged a Labor Day celebration to defeat all others and Rod and Cliff decided to join us for the day. It was a very full house and we were lucky to find our best seats but both Rod and Cliff seemed fidgety to me—unable to settle happily into play. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “Oh, nothing,” was the reply. The first special game was an “eight on anywhere,” followed by a “medium picture frame,” which is the second square in from the outside, all around. That was completely new to me and I found it very interesting and harder to keep track of than you would suspect. A tablemate won it, to my delight. Rod suddenly handed me his cards and said to excuse him for a few. I was bewildered as he did not head for the men’s but to the caller’s stand. The next special was called the “worker’s rally” and was the small x followed by the big X. I especially like this one and was very happy to win it. Then came intermission and time for a big surprise. Cliff and Rod promoted some music from somewhere and entertained the crowd with dancing an Irish jig. They explained this dance had come over from the old country and had been performed at all workers celebrations since the early 1800s. They invited the company to join in the dance, which many did and it was a merry group that went into the second half. “That was just great,” I said to Rod as he settled back into play. “Where did you learn it?” “Oh, it’s part of our ‘movement for life’ group,” he replied. “You should try it. It is loads of fun and you feel just great afterward.” “I guess I will,” I said. “It will give us something more to do together.” Kate got very serious as she had not won all evening and really wanted to. The next game was a big plus followed by the big x which to me meant the Indian Star. They, however, called it “the freedom game.” Kate was on for the big win, but didn’t quite get there. Nonetheless we went away happy, feeling we had well and truly celebrated Labor Day. This is probably the time of year when you’re most likely to see examples of didaskaleinophobia in action—that’s a fear of going to school. …During the course of filming all eight Harry Potter movies, actor Daniel Radcliffe went through 160 pairs of glasses and 70 magic wands. …You may be among those people who think good deeds and selfless acts are on the decline. If so, consider this story: In 2010, an employee at a recycling company came across 23 U.S. savings bonds while sorting through a bin of discarded papers. Instead of trying to cash the $22,000 worth of bonds himself, Mike Rodgers decided to track down the owner. It turned out that the woman who had bought the bonds, Martha Dobbins, had been dead for almost two decades. Rodgers didn’t give up, though; he began a search for Robert Roberts, who was also named on the bonds. Though the name is common and Rodgers hit many dead ends, he eventually located the correct Robert Roberts, the son of Martha Dobbins. Roberts hadn’t even been aware of the bonds’ existence. Rodgers, his good deed finally being done, refused a reward. …On a per-capita basis, Canada is the most educated place in the world; more than half of the country’s residents have earned at least one college degree. …It takes about 70 hours to read the entire Bible aloud—even longer if you take breaks to sleep and eat (and shower, one would hope). © King Features The BINGO BUGLE $100 MONTHLY GIVEAWAY!

Euclid St. Hi Alex, What did I tell you? Checking out Bingo and other gaming opportunities during your travels can be a real vacation bonus. And how lucky were you guys to show up during a Million Dollar Bingo Weekend? You would have kicked yourselves the rest of the year if you hadn’t gone! While your Bingo outing was obviously mega, it doesn’t always have to be on such a massive scale. Stopping in at a little seaside church game or backwoods firehouse Bingo can also have its rewards as you mix with locals and meet a few other folks bitten by the vacation Bingo bug. Enjoy! —Guy 2 FOR $5 Brookhurst St. Hi Don, Well, you sure aren’t a shy one, so we know that this can’t be why your picture hasn’t been taken yet. Most of the Bingo Bugle editions around the country are quite small and don’t have staff beyond the owner/publisher and an occasional helper. This means that the owner is also usually the writer, photographer, designer, advertising salesperson, and even delivery guy for each monthly issue. When you wear this many hats, you do everything on the fly—including photography. This results in photo shoots being sporadic, typically occurring when papers are being delivered or during a visit to a Bingo hall manager. So basically, it’s a matter of being at the right place at the right time in the very narrow window when the publisher or other worker is at the hall where you are playing, and remembers to bring the camera along. While I can’t speak for all publishers, I Hi Guy, You and Aunt Bingo have talked a number of times about making Bingo part of a vacation to see what Bingo playing is like in other areas. This summer, my wife and I were visiting relatives in California and while we were there saw some ads for an Indian casino close by which was having a “Million Dollar Bingo Weekend.” They had $30,000 prizes, $5,000 prizes, and a thing called a Do-it-Yourself Jackpot for $100,000. They started at 8 a.m. and had sessions going as late as 10 at night. It sounded so great that we decided to take your advice and check it out. Well, to begin with, the place was huge: There had to be 2,000 seats in the Bingo section alone, and when we got there for the first Bingo matinee it was already pretty full. We played that session then took a break to tour the rest of the casino. I have never seen so many slot machines in my life! My wife loves slots so we played those for a while and won enough to pay for the buy-in for another Bingo session. It was a great day and we had a lot of fun. I’m writing you because it was your encouragement to add Bingo to our trip that got us to go in the first place. Great advice! —Alex H., Oregon $500 FLASHBOARDS PULL TAB DAUB WIN UP TO Magnolia St. Hi Guy, I look at the Bingo Bugle paper and see pictures of players all the time and keep thinking that I want my picture in the paper, too. I recognize lots of the players with their pictures printed which must mean that I play in some of the same Bingo halls where they play, but somehow they get their pictures in there and I don’t. As I think about it, one of the problems may be that I have never seen a photographer in the hall. Where do you get your pictures? Do the halls take them and ask you to print them or do you have your own photographers going out taking them? If it is your own photographer, is there some kind of schedule they follow that I can know about so I am at the right Bingo hall at the right time? I don’t mean to make a big deal out of all this, but it really would be fun if me and my friends got our pictures in the Bingo paper just once. Or if that is too much trouble, forget about my friends and it can just be me. Which is only fair because I wrote this letter. —Don G., Nevada POWERBALL WARM-UPS PAY $100: By Guy Williams ■ Bingo along the way 2 FOR $5 Beach Blvd. do know that some invite people to submit photos they think will be of interest to readers. Keep in mind, however, that these need to be Bingo photos that show people playing, working, or enjoying the game in some other way. Otherwise, you will just have to be patient and, like that elusive Bingo jackpot, wait until it is your time to smile for the camera. —Guy Vacationing $500 Dotty Gilchrist - $400 Cypress H.S.

(Next to Ralphs shopping center) (949) 830-3557 Page 6; Bingo Bugle (Orange County) September 2016 More from the mailbag One of the great things about writing this column is opening the mail sent to bobonbingo@earthlink.net. I don’t get to answer all the letters. And, there is not room here to relay all of them. But, I want you all to know that each letter is important. I recently got a note from a woman named Diane who wants some suggestions about the best places to live in Las Vegas for someone on a fixed income. I would suggest that she simply search the Internet for “senior housing, Clark County, Nevada.” It would seem that Diane really wants to be near Bingo. She wants to find a part-time job working at a Bingo hall. “My heart, Bob, is in Vegas Bingo. I want to move there to live,” she writes. Wow, what a great testimony about just how important the game we love the most can be in our lives. Next, a letter from a fellow who iden- John Pineda - $500 St. Anthony Claret - Anaheim Friday Nights tifies himself as “Frustrated.” “Bob, I am writing to you because we have a caller who thinks he’s the best caller in the world. You have to light a fire under him to keep him in motion. I have talked to him and told him that when we have a Bingo winner who is verified, we need to move on. “Not only that, this guy often drops the Bingo balls. He is constantly stopping to sip on his coffee. He over-explains everything, especially when it comes to talking about the various Bingo patterns. He takes up time giving nicknames to many of the numbers. For example, he cannot call B11 without reminding everyone one that that ball is sometimes called ‘chopsticks.’ I-22 is, of course, ‘choo-choo.’ This guy only calls for us when the regular caller is sick. The problem is that many people have told me they won’t be back until this guy is gone.” Frustrated, I understand what you are going through. If this guy is the only fillin you have, then you can’t do much about it. Dealing with personalities is tough, especially when you are the boss but don’t have the power to change very much. It would seem that this guy is the opposite of callers who seem monotone and bored. This guy is over-the-top in the other direction. Finally, Frank wrote to tell me about a caller who loses track of time and her 6 p.m. sessions don’t end until 11 p.m. The answer here may be to be honest with our complaints. We need to stick by those halls that bring us pleasure. We need to work harder to fix the problems and preserve the game we love best.

In the meantime, I continue to play Bingo, buy lottery tickets, and visit casinos at every opportunity just in case Lady Luck blows me a kiss instead of telling me to kiss her butt. Richard, my little brother, loves to tease me about my playing the lottery. He knows that I frequently buy scratch off tickets so that’s what I get from him on my birthday and any other day he feels like tormenting me. The kicker is that most of the time he scratches off the tickets before he gives them to me. His version is that he’s saving me time. My version is that he keeps the winning tickets and gives me his losers. It doesn’t really matter because what’s important is that my brother cares enough about me to aggravate me mightily. I consider it tit for tat though as I’ve been known to return the favor with lottery tickets I’ve already cashed. As many others do, I buy a few extra tickets when the lottery jackpots grow into the super jackpots of millions of dollars. I don’t go overboard though. After all, I only need one ticket to win. Yes, the odds against me are huge; around one in 176,000,000 for Powerball and Mega Millions. That’s worse odds than if I were to be killed by a vending machine falling on top of me, one in 112 million. Recently I read about a former Stanford University math professor who specialized in statistics. This person won four different lotteries. First, she won $5.4 million, then a decade later, she won $2 million; then two years later $3 million and finally in the summer of 2010, she hit a $10 million dollar jackpot. The odds of this happening have been calculated at one in eighteen septillion. Was it blind luck or since she was a mathematician did she figure out an edge? Only she knows, but regardless, she won a boatload of money. So how did she spend it? Did she save some for a rainy day or did she spend it all? According to the New York Daily News, seventy percent of lottery winners spend all their winnings within seven years. How stupid is that! I’d like to have the chance to prove I’m smarter than those dummies. And speaking of dummies, to claim a lottery prize in Canada you have to answer a math question. Uh-oh. I better not win big in Canada. I’d never get my money as math is not my strongpoint. Until next month may Lady Luck blow you kisses as you dance out the door with dollars.

I buy fresh corn on the cob. I remove the husks completely. I allow the cleaned corn to soak in cold water for about 20 minutes to add moisture to the kernels. I rub soft butter on the corn. I grill the corn on the barbecue, turning frequently. If you like the corn crispy allow it to turn brown or black. Serve immediately, adding additional butter if desired. I love this corn. —Annie Your comments and questions about cooking and entertaining will be addressed in this monthly column.

This year she has decided to pull out all the stops by playing in the Blackjack and Texas Hold ’em tournaments as well. “They all look like so much fun and I’ve wanted to try them before, so I decided this will be the year,” she says. “Between all the tournaments and playing in the casino, you can really get your fill.” Away from all that gaming, Donna likes to seek out the live music being performed aboard ship and watch the couples dancing. Will she do a little dancing herself? “Well, I do enjoy it,” she says. “Maybe I’ll work up the courage to ask someone to join me on the dance floor. That does sound fun.” The World Championship Bingo Tournament & Gaming Cruise is a vacation adventure not to be missed. For more information on this unparalleled travel experience, phone the Bingo Bugle Tournament Cruise Hotline at 888-352-2464 or visit us online at bingobugle.com/cruise. Pomona Ave. It has been four years since Donna McAlary, 75, of Manteka, California, last enjoyed the fun and excitement of the World Championship Bingo Tournament & Gaming Cruise. “I’ve been on a lot of them, at least nine or ten,” says Donna, who has sailed with friends, with her late husband, Stuart, and also on her own. “Eventually Stuart couldn’t travel, and he passed away in 2014. Now it feels like it’s time to get back on the ship and enjoy a cruise again.” Donna has made many Bingo Tournament Cruise friends over the years and says she is looking forward to seeing them again. “That’s one of the nice things about the Bingo cruise,” she says. “After you’ve gone a few times you begin to feel an atmosphere of extended family.” This will be Donna’s second time traveling solo, which she has discovered has certain benefits. “You can do what you want and not have to worry about what your travel companions want to do, like going on tours you’ve been on before,” she says. “I can relax in my private room on the balcony, explore the ship and visit the shops on my own, and then meet up with other players for dinner or the shows. It’s a pretty good arrangement.” In fact, Donna says that with the World Championship Bingo Tournament & COSTA MESA HIGH SCHOOL BOOSTERS BINGO at the Costa Mesa Senior Center 695 West 19th St. • Costa Mesa (949) 645-2356 www.cmhsbingo.webstarts.com Page 11; Bingo Bugle (Orange County) September 2016 Page 12; Bingo Bugle (Orange County) September 2016 Page 13; Bingo Bugle (Orange County) September 2016 6 N E P O NIGHTS A WEEK!! 5 & 91 Freeways Juanita Lincoln ENTRANCE AND PARKING ON EAST SIDE OF BUILDING Ball Cerritos Corporate Av.

There would also be a $300 annual license, and the State Bureau of Investigation would monitor the businesses. Casino Player Wins $1 Million Bingo Prize A New York woman walked away from Foxwoods Resort Casino a millionaire after hitting the jackpot during the 30th anniversary celebration of the Bingo hall. Patricia Elliott of Elmont, New York, won her million on a $650 investment when she bought into Foxwoods’ annual Firecracker Bingo tournament. The 60-yearold grandmother of eight has made her way to the casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, every other weekend for more than 30 years. What will she do with her winnings? “The house has to be paid off, and I have children and grandchildren, so they’re going to have to share some of it,” Elliott said. The jackpot wasn’t Elliott’s only brush with fortune at Foxwoods. She previously won $50,000 during a slots tournament, and won another $1,500 on a different game of Bingo just hours after becoming a millionaire. Alabama Judge Rules in Favor of Electronic Bingo A circuit court judge in Greene County, Alabama, has ruled that the county’s Bingo amendment specifically protects electronic Bingo games being played in local casinos, specifically GreeneTrack, and that the Alabama Attorney General’s office must return 825 Bingo machines it confiscated during a 2010 raid. Judge Houston Brown ruled that Greene County’s 2003 constitutional amendment legalizing Bingo in that county was the first of its kind and the only one to define Bingo using the terms “electronic device” and “electronic marking device.” “Based upon the great weight of the evidence, which was largely undisputed by the state, the court finds that the games at issue were and are authorized by (the) amendment,” Brown wrote in his ruling. NC For-Profit Beach Bingo Halls to be Regulated North Carolina’s for-profit beach Bingo parlors have gone largely unregulated for years, but recent legislation approved by the state Senate could add new rules. The popularity of Bingo started decades ago at the coast, but long ago spread inland. And while the state regulates 246 Bingo operations that serve as fundraisers for nonprofits, those rules currently don’t apply to for-profit parlors. According to the new regulations, each prize at a beach Bingo operation would have to be worth $10 or less. The $10 prize limit is already state law, but it’s not typically Jennifer Barker and Carol Davidson - Volunteers Western H.S.

Police later learned that both the purse and the Bingo bag were found on the roof of a nearby business. Most of the contents, police say, were recovered.

MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS What does he want her to do? Sit home and stare at the walls? That’s a recipe for dementia, a rest home and an early grave if I ever heard one! Hubby needs to borrow a page from his wife’s book and get out there and enjoy retirement. He needs to find his own interests and maybe come up with a few things they can do together. That is a plan that would have her in the Bingo hall less and enjoying his company more…by doing something! —AC, Georgia, via email Readers Responses Marcella Cendejas and Blanca Ochoa - $500 Each Diamond Bar H.S. Brahma Bingo - Saturday Nights Brian Mayes - $225 Garden Grove Elks Tuesday Nights Tania Wheeler - $250 Note-Ables Booster Club Tuesday Nights - Cypress $474,266.09 SLOT WIN! Cindy Rubly of Carson, Calif. checked out of Pechanga Resort & Casino on Friday, July 29, but after playing a $1.00 Wheel of Fortune® machine for about 30 minutes, and winning $474,266.09 she checked right back into the hotel. Cindy and her daughter, Heidi, came to Pechanga Tuesday for their yearly mother-daughter getaway from the Los Angeles area. Before she left, Cindy wanted to play one last time on the same Wheel of Fortune® machine that she won $1,399 on Tuesday. Finding her desired machine occupied, she sat down at a $0.25 game. As soon as the woman playing the dollar machine Cindy wanted got up and left, she told her daughter to run over and grab it. Cindy took over for her daughter, but not before Heidi convinced her to play the machine’s max bets. About 25 minutes later, luck struck big. Three Wheel of Fortune® symbols lined up across the center of the screen. Since Cindy played the max bet on her spin, she won the full progressive amount of $474,266.09 The retired private airline supervisor told casino staff she plans to give some of the money to family and some to her favorite charities that help animals. Big winners happen often at Pechanga Resort & Casino. The resort has had 11 one-million dollar+ jackpot winners since opening in 2002. ■ Enjoy Bingo during your retirement Dear Readers: In last month’s column, I shared comments from readers who wrote in about a letter from a woman who recently retired and was now enjoying the freedom to play more Bingo. Her issue was that her retiree husband was complaining that she was playing Bingo too much and spending too much money on it. Following are more letters and emails from readers weighing in on the subject. —Aunt Bingo Dear Aunt Bingo, I cannot believe this woman is being put on the defensive by her husband because she wants to play Bingo. Good for her that she keeps track of her Bingo spending (everybody should!), but the reason should not be so that she can justify an activity to him. When was the last time she challenged him on how much he spends on beer or what a waste of money it is to have 10 TV sports cable channels? But she probably wouldn’t because she sounds much too thoughtful. My advice to her would be to keep her budget to herself and not try and justify a single penny of her Bingo spending. What is important is that she knows her spending limit and sticks to it. —Melanie J., Illinois Dear Aunt Bingo, The husband who is bothered by his wife’s Bingo playing should be grateful she isn’t spending her retirement years hanging out at bars and going to male strip clubs with her girlfriends! Adjusting ■ Fast paced life slows down Dear Dream Lady (edited), Hello again—I have another dream that stuck to me. A new pope was elected and his name is “Jack Otis Stearns.” I helped him put on a white robe and head gear, and that was the end. I want you to know that when I am in bed at night, I see adults, children and babies, but I see only their heads. They don’t scare me, but I do see them. A few times, I see their entire (clothed) bodies, but very rarely. I hope all is well with you—it is a bit hot here. Harry G., Sun City, Arizona Hello Harry, Thank you for your readership through the years, and yes, you hold the record! Your “heads only” dream symbolizes a protective device to keep you from getting too emotionally close to people. Often, as people age, they start to not get “too close” to potential friends because when they pass away, there won’t be as much emotional pain when the person is gone. Also, the pope, no matter what his name is, clearly represents a leadership position. Your helping him is a statement that you are helping his position of faith, love and leadership. Since you don’t actually “know” the pope, all of the unknown people reflect yourself. This tells me you are on a continuing journey to know yourself better, as most of us are. Don’t let these dreams worry you. —Dream Lady Dear Dream Lady, I recently moved from Long Beach, California to a small town in Oregon where I can telecommute. I am concerned about adjusting from the fast city life to a more relaxed area where I don’t have to be on the go-go-go all the time. I have been dreaming that I am in one of those bumper car rides where I go around and around in circles and I cannot slow down. My friends (and strangers) are yelling at me to “get out of the circle and slow down!” I am not able to. I am very worried that this is not the right move for me and maybe I left city life Dear Aunt Bingo, When people retire there is a definite change to income and expenses that needs to be monitored. My guess is that the man expressing his concern to his wife about how much she is spending on Bingo may have something to do with that—especially if he has crunched the numbers and is worried over a savings shortfall. When your income flow changes with retirement, your initial assumption may be that there isn’t going to be enough money for the years to come. At first, a person may “adjust” by pinching every penny— buying day-old bread, shopping clearance racks and stockpiling 99-cents-a-pound chicken, for example—until he or she becomes more confident that the money will last. I suspect that this is exactly where the husband’s thinking stands right now regarding his wife’s Bingo. He sees it as money being frittered away that should be saved for food, shelter and heat. For the wife, it is entertainment that enhances her quality of life. She has a better understanding of what retirement can and should be—a time to go places and do things freely. He is stuck in a mindset that the only smart thing to do is sit in an armchair at home and not spend a penny more than absolutely necessary. Eventually he will realize that this is existing, not living. Until then, she should stick to her guns and enjoy Bingo, and whatever other activities she wants to enjoy, as much as she wants, as long as she enjoys them within reason and keeps an eye on that budget. —Ray W., Washington, via email Share your views!

Management of Bingo Bugle Telemarketing scams California Council on Problem Gambling ■ How to detect and prevent Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some tips to help protect seniors from telemarketing scams? My 80-year-old mother has been swindled out of several hundred dollars over the past year and keeps getting calls from scam artists. Worried Daughter Dear Worried, Telemarketing fraud is a big problem in the United States, particularly among seniors who tend to be the most vulnerable and frequently targeted. Here’s what you should know, along with some tips to help protect your mom. Phone Fraud According to FBI reports, there are around 14,000 illegal telemarketing operations that steal more than $40 billion from unsuspecting citizens each year—most of whom are over the age of 60. Telemarketing fraud happens when a con artist calls you up posing as a legitimate telemarketer and tries to cheat you out of your money by offering things like free prizes, vacation packages, sweepstakes or lottery winnings, discount medical or prescription drug plans, buying club memberships, credit and loan promises, investment and work-at-home opportunities and more. They also usually demand that you act right away and require some kind of up-front payment to participate or receive your winnings, which is always a red flag that the call is a scam. Seniors also need to be careful of fake charity and fundraising phone scams, home improvement scams, fake checks (see fakechecks.org), grandparent scams, and invitations to free lunch seminars. What You Can Do The first thing you should do to help your mom steer clear of phone scams is to alert her to the problem and how to recognize it. To help you with this, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) offers a consumer education website at ftc.gov/phonefraud that provides a rundown on some of the most common phone scams making the rounds these days and what to watch for. They also offer some helpful publications you can get for her like Putting Telephone Scams on Hold and Who’s Calling? Recognize & Report Phone Fraud that you can order for free by calling 877-382-4357. The next step is to remind her to never Shelley Georiaso - $300 Trabuco Hills H.S. Music Boosters Thursday Nights give out her personal information like her credit card number, checking or savings account numbers, Social Security number or mailing address to telemarketers no matter what they promise or tell her. If she’s getting calls from telemarketers requesting this information, she should simply hang up the phone because it’s a scam. If, however, your mom is having a hard time recognizing a scam or hanging up on pushy telemarketers, get her a caller ID and tell her not to pick up unless she recognizes the number of the caller. Or, ask her to let the calls go to voice mail. Telemarketers rarely leave messages. Also, make sure her phone number is registered with the National Do Not Call Registry—which will significantly cut down the number of telemarketing calls she receives. You can register your mom’s phone number for free at donotcall.gov, or by calling 888-382-1222 from the number you wish to register. Unfortunately, being on the registry will not stop calls from political organizations, charities, pollsters and companies that your mom has an existing business relationship with. And, it won’t stop telemarketing scams either. If your mom is getting a lot of calls, discuss the possibility of changing her phone number. Scam artists trade and sell what they call “suckers lists” of prior victims, and the only way to get her off these lists may be to change her number. Report It It’s also important that you or your mom report any suspicious telemarketing calls she gets to the FTC (see ftccomplaintassistant.gov or call 877-382-4357) and to her State Attorney General. Reporting it helps law enforcement officials track down these scam artists and stop them. You’ll need to provide the telemarketer’s phone number, as well as the date and time of the call.

PREDICTORS LUCKY CARD FOR SEPTEMBER 2016 by Frederick Woodruff astroinquiry.com Explore more at Horoscopes for September 2016 ARIES: Mar. 21-Apr. 20: With Venus moving through your house of relationships, it’s easy to fall in love all over again with your significant other. But be prepared for some surprising shifts or announcements from your partner this month, too. Keep an open mind as he or she expresses their deepest desires—insights that can guide you both into a new and rich emotional terrain. Lucky Days: 4-25 Lucky Numbers: 16-53 TAURUS: Apr. 21-May 21: A newfound clarity of mind has you focused in a fierce way on what you want and the best ways to achieve it. The only catch is how to convince those around you that what you wish to create will benefit everyone involved with your plan. This will require a bit of negotiating. Strike a balance between personal vision and accommodating others. Lucky Days: 7-22 Lucky Numbers: 21-34 GEMINI: May 22-June 21: The full moon on the 16th brings to light a secret that Plato espoused centuries ago: “The seen is the changing. The unseen is the unchanging.” The very taproot of your life—your home and domestic life—might be transforming right before your eyes. Open up to the invisible forces that are guiding your life, you will be led to a solid and secure place. Lucky Days: 12-27 Lucky Numbers: 19-56 CANCER: June 22-July 22: Find a way to bring beauty directly into your home in shocking and surprising ways. This means some sort of makeover where you might paint the walls orange or shift furniture around to generate a sense of newness and freshness. You also need a strong connection to the natural world now. Plan some autumnal adventures in the great outdoors. Lucky Days: 15-28 Lucky Numbers: 39-60 LEO: July 23-Aug. 23: Although you’re a sign that exudes confidence, the truth is that you have a shy side that only your closest friends ever see. With Mars still pushing through your house of creative expression (along with work horse Saturn) this is the month to make your dreams a solid reality. Keep the timidity for your private moments and get out there and shine. Lucky Days: 12-28 Lucky Numbers: 24-56 VIRGO: Aug. 24-Sept. 23: With Venus and Jupiter in your house of resources, you’re like a magnet SEPTEMBER 2016 1st 3rd 4th 5th 9th 11th 16th 18th 22nd 23rd 28th 30th New Moon Bacon Day Newspaper Carrier Day LABOR DAY First Quarter Moon Grandparent’s Day Full Moon Wife Appreciation Day FALL BEGINS Last Quarter Moon National Good Neighbor Day New Moon Page 24; Bingo Bugle (Orange County) September 2016 LIBRA: Sept. 24-Oct. 23: To achieve the peace of mind you crave, you’ll need to need to bring your soothing touch to niggling money issues. Don’t put it off. Here’s a key to making this work to your advantage: People grant your wishes when those wishes appeal to their self-interest. With that in mind you can have just about anything you want! Lucky Days: 4-15 Lucky Numbers: 44-59 SCORPIO: Oct. 24-Nov. 22: The fiery planet Mars is moving through your money house all month. Finances could feel like they are on a teeter-totter. Your mission is to strike a balance between credits and debits and then stop worrying about outcomes. Do the best you can. Here’s some advice from Ben Franklin for making the best of this transit: “Leisure is the time for doing something useful.” Lucky Days: 11-26 Lucky Numbers 17-61 SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 23-Dec. 21: Your impulse to create art, establish a new enterprise or organize a social event can infuse you with a new lease on life. The universe is calling you forward, people are ready and willing to bask in your zeal and optimistic approach to life. The full moon on the 16th offers you another opportunity to grab the brass ring. Risk it, it’s yours for the taking. Lucky Days: 19-30 Lucky Numbers: 38-47 CAPRICORN: Dec. 22-Jan. 20: Establishing trust is essential while harmonizing Venus puts the focus on the job front. You need supportive relationships to help each of you flow easily into common goals and aims. Goats tend to prefer going it alone, but this month is all about cooperation. Time to stretch and feel the love; it’ll make your job ten times easier. Lucky Days: 3-30 Lucky Numbers: 28-65 AQUARIUS: Jan. 21-Feb. 19: The full moon in your resource sector on the 16th might leave you feeling vulnerable about budgeting and meeting your financial obligations. Or it might be the other way around: Are you being properly compensated for what you are owed? Questions of worth dominate throughout the month. Don’t slip and slide on these issues. Lucky Days: 4-36 Lucky Numbers: 14-61 PISCES: Feb. 20-Mar. 20: Normally, your tolerance for ambiguity enables you to maintain your composure when the universe sends you mixed signals. However, there’s no time for waffling with the full moon triggering your house of relationships and partners. You’ll want to state specifically to others what you intend and then outline clearly how you plan to achieve your desires. Don’t edit or hold back.

NoMad, which established its brand in New York City, will be a hotel-within-ahotel, similar to the Four Seasons and Delano at Mandalay Bay or Nobu at Caesars Palace. The makeover will include a complete renovation of the resort’s rooms, along with new restaurants and bars, including the NoMad restaurant. Before the announcement, MRI CEO Jim Murren had indicated that the company would no longer be creating themed resorts, first pointing to the shedding of the OZ theme at MGM Grand, then addressing the renaming of the Monte Carlo: “We’re not going to name it something from somewhere else. Those days are over.” Monte Carlo renamed ■ $450 million transformation for the new Park MGM Sands Partners with Madison Square Garden Las Vegas Sands Corp. says that it will partner with Madison Square Garden Co. to build a 400,000-square-foot 17,500-seat arena behind the Venetian and Palazzo. The venue will feature luxury-seating options, clubs, and lounges, and be specifically designed for music and entertainment, but will also be suited to hosting sporting events and serve as a general conference center for trade shows and conventions. The project appears to be less speculative than Sands’ previously announced 65,000-seat football stadium that will require the approval of a public-financing plan before it can go forward. It’s projected that the arena would be completed in 2018. Applications Approved The Nevada Gaming Control Commission has signed off on a series of approval applications, including suitability assessments on various key executives and corporate entities, marking the most significant progress in a year for Resorts World Las Vegas. Phase I of the project was originally slated for completion sometime this year. Now the latest estimated opening date is early 2019. Park MGM To the surprise of almost no one, the Monte Carlo is getting a new name that will tie it into the neighboring Park complex. The renaming to Park MGM will be supported by a $450 million transformation that includes Page 26; Bingo Bugle (Orange County) September 2016 Downtown Changes Mermaids, La Bayou, and the Girls of Glitter Gulch strip club all closed to make way for a new casino that, according to the blog VitalVegas.com, is now being called 18 Fremont. The closed casinos were minor downtown players in recent years, but both had rich histories, briefly described in “La Bayou/Mermaids”. More Fontainebleau Rumors The LV Review-Journal reported that a deal to sell the Fontainebleau may be in place “by the end of the summer.” Specifics about the buyer or the price weren’t divulged, and we’ve heard this rumor before, but the prospective new owner is said to have plans to complete the resort. It’s estimated that it would take two years and $1.2 billion to do so. Klondike Sunset There’s a lot of spiffing up going on at Henderson’s shuttered Klondike Sunset. There haven’t been any announcements, but it looks like it may be preparing to reopen. Circus Circus Name The official name of Circus Circus Hotel and Casino has been changed to Circus Circus Hotel, Casino & Theme Park.
