15DAYSCULTURE CALENDAR

Statesboro’s own Amy Taylor is currently third onGeorgia-country.com’s female artist of the year vot-ing, but with another four weeks of voting left, she’s

got her eyes set on the top spot. So check her out onMyspace or Facebook (/amytaylormusic) and then go vote!

Taylor grew up in the ‘Boro, and as soon as she graduatedfrom Southeast Bulloch, she started playing music, per-forming and sitting in with other bands at local venues likeSilver Creek Saloon and Retrievers. She knew from ayoung age that she wanted to be a musician, which was notunusual in a family full of musically-talented people.

What is unusual is how far her talent has taken her insuch a short time. In six years, Taylor has gone from highschool to recording an album in Nashville. Plus she foundthe time to take a year off from music after the birth of herdaughter, who is now closing in on four years old. Likemany musicians, having a child inspired Taylor and affect-ed the music she was writing. Now she wants to succeednot just for herself, but to provide for her daughter as well,she said. Though she may not need the help, since her daughter has already taken to picking atTaylor’s guitar and singing along, so who knows how long before the younger Taylor is playingNashville herself.

Years ago, Taylor played her first show in Savannah, which started out as just a karaoke showthat she and her cousin played, but she pulled out her guitar for a couple of her own songs, andpretty soon, the audience was pushing her to play more and more of them until the set was most-ly her originals.

For the past two years, Taylor has played three or four shows every week, playing a lot ofcovers but also fine-tuning her own songs. This March, she got the opportunity to go toNashville and record some songs with an A-list squad of studio musicians. She has eight songsrecorded for her debut album, and plans to record a few more. Writing new music isn’t the prob-lem, as Taylor says she has written more than 100 songs, but wants to make sure that she putsout only the best of what she’s capable of.

Georgia-country.com went online about a year ago, focusing on all things country music inGeorgia. Taylor was named April artist of the month, and is now in the running for female artistof the year, with voting ending Oct. 16.

Taylor has built a strong fanbase all over Georgia and South Carolina and is planning to headout west soon to continue playing to new crowds. But that’s not all that’s on the horizon, shealso has a house-band spot coming up at a new bar in Hardeeville, and will also be shooting avideo for one of her most popular songs ‘Waves,’ which is about the way people grow apart aftera breakup. Taylor recently played at Dos Primos, and will be returning there, as well as TheGrill, soon, so be sure to catch the rising star next time she’s in town.- CORY CUNNINGHAM

VIEWSSouthern culture, politics, news & views

BY TINA WHITTLE

In some places, it wouldn’t have been astory. But in the small town of Cochran,Georgia — population 5211 — it was

news. Big news. And that was when the trou-ble started for Derrick Martin.

“Bleckley School Official Allowing GayProm Date” read the headline in The MaconTelegraph. “Making a Prom Date ChangesHis Life” reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Soon bloggers picked up thestory, and then local TV news, and then thenational news. Gay rights advocacy groupsacross the country threw their support behindhim, while back in his hometown, some ofhis fellow citizens — including several class-mates and their parents — organized aprotest on the courthouse lawn.

Martin had done his homework, howev-er. He’d researched previous controversiesinvolving gay teens and proms, including thecase of Aaron Fricke, a gay rights advocatewho in 1980 successfully sued his RhodeIsland high school for not allowing him tobring his boyfriend to the prom. But Martinwas also keenly aware that one Mississippihigh school had cancelled its prom altogeth-er after a female student asked to attend withher girlfriend.

“I printed off Aaron’s case file and alsowrote down a few websites for my schooladministration to look over while deliberat-ing,” Martin says. “I knew the legal ramifica-tions . . . . I knew it could turn out to be agiant battle. But I was prepared. It was some-thing that I felt had to be done.”

Martin would eventually prevail, and heand his boyfriend Richard Goodman wouldattend the senior prom with lots of fanfareand no protests whatsoever. In the photo-graphs commemorating the event, bothyoung men wear black tuxedos with whiteties and white boutonnières. They look likeany other prom couple — nervous, excited,unaccustomed to the flash-flash-flash of mul-tiple cameras.

In one way, however, it was a victorywith a tarnished lining. When word got outthat Martin had spoken to the media, his par-ents told him he had to leave the house.Sympathetic friends in the community tookhim in, so Martin was never one of the trulyunfortunate LGBTQ teens — teens whoidentify as lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, trans-gen-dered or questioning, and who find them-selves on the streets because of their orienta-tion. Nonetheless, the impact shook him.

“When I was kicked out, I felt alone. Inever want anyone to feel like I did when Iwas kicked out for being true to myself, [for]trying to make a positive statement to thosein the LGBTQ community that felt that promwas untouchable,” Martin says.“Discrimination is something no one shouldhave to face, especially not alone.”

After the prom, Martin found that he’dbecome a celebrity. And while a lot of youngmen might have enjoyed their moment in thespotlight, Martin decided to use his new-found visibility to start something to helpother LGBTQ youth in his situation. Thatsomething became Project LifeVest.

As Martin explains on the ProjectLifeVest website —http://www.pro-jectlifevest.org — “I felt abandoned andbetrayed; disposed of, a castaway . . . . Thosewere very dark times. But I knew there wasno time to feel sorry for myself. Life movedon, and I embraced my surroundings andmoved forward, alone yes, but forwardnonetheless.”

Even though Martin was unaware of it atthe time, his decision to speak openly aboutthe controversy started a wave of responsethat spread from his hometown across thecountry. Many classmates and fellow citizensshared their support and encouragement.Regional and national advocacy organiza-tions joined with hundreds of individualsboth in-person and online to send donationshis way. Facebook groups supporting hisdecision started up. A gay family inCalifornia opened their home to him.

“All these organizations and peoplethrew a lifevest in my path,” Martin explainson the website. “It is because of them that Idid not sink. It is because of their aid that Ihave decided to pay it forward, and use myexperience to bring aid to other LGBTQyouths.”

The Project LifeVest mission statementis simple: "To be a helping hand, a life vest,to as many LGBTQ teens and adults as pos-sible. We will carry out this mission throughthe establishment of safe places in as manycities as possible; through opening a call cen-ter with a qualified and well-educated andexperienced team of counselors who can giveadvice and guidance where needed; throughfinding qualified and screened families whocan, if the need arises, host rejected teenswhile they finish schooling or find a newplace."

Martin wanted an organization thatcould address the feeling of aloneness that he

himself had felt, and that could be a clearing-house for the kinds of assistance that make areal, practical difference in a homeless teen’slife. For this reason, Project LifeVest part-nered with other established organizations,including The Trevor Project, a nationalorganization focused on crisis and suicideprevention efforts among LGBTQ youth, andGays and Lesbians United AgainstDiscrimination, an organization dedicated tothe promotion of equal rights for LGBTQfamilies and individuals.

Martin, who serves as Project LifeVest’spresident, admits that his life can get verybusy at times. A freshman at GeorgiaSouthern University, he describes himselfas a very social person who enjoys running,dancing, and singing with GSU’sAdrenaline Show Choir. He is majoring inJustice Studies with a minor in Spanish,preparing himself for a career in law,preferably dealing in defense or prosecu-tion of LGBTQ issues. And then there arealways the media appearances.

“It‘s been a daunting task,” he says,“Putting myself out there and standing up forwhat is right. I‘m honored to be able to do thework that I do and to represent the peoplethat I help. But being in the spotlight . . .takes a lot of stamina and dedication, if youare going to do it right.”

The spotlight is bright these days.Martin has scheduled interviews with CNN.On September 10 he was a featured speakerat Savannah’s Queer Power March.Currently, he is trying to convince EllenDeGenere’s producers to feature Project

Lifevest on the star’s talk show.And there is always the fundraising.

Martin calls finding funding sources his mostchallenging and intimidating obstacle.“Finding donors in this economy is nearlyimpossible,” he says. “We accept donationsonline at the Project Lifevest website, and wehave to date received around $3000. But it’snot cheap to do what we are doing.”

The work of Project LifeVest is individ-ual and hands-on. It includes providing guid-ance, mentoring, and access to resources forthose who need it, all of which are deliveredpersonally and confidentially. Martin saysthat this personal approach is his favorite partof the job, however: “The most rewardingaspect [of what we do] is talking to peoplethat we have helped once they are in a bettersituation.” He cites one example of helping ateen find the courage to report his abusivefather to the authorities.

If people want to help, Martin says, thisis how they can do so — by referring cases.“Spread our name around,” he says. “Get ourname and mission into places we can help.Refer people to us through our website,through Facebook, through blogs, throughword of mouth. Money is great, and desper-ately needed, but we can do nothing withoutpeople to help.”

Some people call Derrick Martin’sstruggle “the story that shouldn’t have been astory.” Perhaps one day taking a same-sexdate to the prom will be neither story norstruggle. But until then, there’s ProjectLifeVest. And, as their website promises,they’re here to help.

GSU Hungry for a Week Three Win Against Coastal CarolinaWith a 48-3 Over SSU Win and a Strong Stand Against Navy, The Eagles Take The Road Again

BY MICHAEL TUCKER

With an overpowering 48-3 winover the Savannah State Tigersand a very impressive stand

against the Midshipmen from Navy, theGeorgia Southern Eagles are pushing intoweek three with high confidence as they takeon the Chanticleers from Coastal CarolinaUniversity in Conway, South Carolina.

With the return of the option offense,Eagle fans everywhere walked away from the season’s opening game with a greatsense of resolution, finally seeing that the option was back and that it still had thecapabilities of producing high scoringgames. In their 48-3 win over SavannahState, the Eagles racked up their 8th con-secutive win against the Tigers, as well as431 total rushing yards and six touch-downs by six different players. Freshmanfullback Robert Brown made an outstand-ing debut for the Eagles, recording 20 car-ries for 122 yards and an Eagle touch-down. These numbers put Brown amongstthe likes of Eagles legend Adrian Petersonand Joe Ross, being one of only threefreshmen to rush for more than 100 yardsin their first game for the Eagles.

Georgia Southern’s highly anticipatedquarterback, Jaybo Shaw, also made hisdebut for the Eagles, going seven for ten inpassing with 109 yards and putting 62rushing yards and a touchdown in thebooks. Adrian Mora, the SoCon’s “SpecialTeams Player of the Week,” opened up theEagles’ scoring with a 39 field goalhalfway through the first quarter and, afterthe Eagles’ defense held the Tigers to threeand out, sophomore slotback Lamar

Brown punched in a two yard run to putsix points on the board for the Eagles.

However exciting the return of theoption may have been, racking up 48 pointsthroughout the night, no one could deny thatholding a team to a mere 3 points is excitingin itself. Leading the defense against theTigers was sophomore defensive tackleBrent Russell. With a passion an intensityfor the game and a nose for ball carriers,Russell recorded five tackles and two sacks,as well as a tackle for a loss and passbreakup. With effort like this, it’s no wonderRussell was voted as the Utilities ProtectionCenter’s “Lineman of the Week.”

Teamed up with players like juniordefensive end Dion DuBose and senior defensive end Michael Veal, Russell andthe rest of the Eagles defense really madea stand not only against Savannah State,but also against Navy as the Eagles trav-eled to Annapolis, Maryland for their firstever matchup against the Midshipmen.With a final score of 13 - 7, the Eagles mayhave come away with a loss in the books,but a huge moral victory as they move intothe rest of the season.

The Eagles’ defense was able to holdthe Midshipmen to a total of only 193yards throughout the game, which is espe-cially impressive when looking back at the485 yards Navy gained against Marylandin the season opener the previous week.The battle between the Eagles and theMidshipmen turned into a battle of attri-tion as both defenses seemed to control thegame, with only 17 first downs by bothteams combined. The Eagles were able togain 109 total yards, 36 through the air and

73 rushing with one touchdown through a17 yard pass from junior Jaybo Shaw tosophomore slotback J.J. Wilcox.

Even with a record of 1-1, the Eagleshave every reason to be on a confidence high after a huge win over Savannah Stateand an outstanding defensive battle againstan FBS team at Navy. As they move intoweek three against the Chanticleers ofCoastal Carolina at Brooks Stadium inConway, South Carolina, the Eagles arehunting a win on the road to send them intothe rest of the season with some seriousmomentum. While the Eagles are lookingfor the win, the Chanticleers will be lookingfor redemption after a tough 47-45 loss tothe Townson Tigers through a long fourquarters and an even longer 5 overtimes.

Even having to travel for the second

consecutive week, the Eagles have alreadyshown that they know how to handle bothsides of the ball. The Eagles are lookingstrong moving into week three and into therest of the season. After two impressiveshowings of Coach Jeff Monken’s optionoffense and strong defense, this gamecould prove this year’s Eagles to be thereal deal and possibly a contender for atitle! A delicate balance between a fast andwell executed option offense and anotherstrong defensive stand should make thisgame one to watch as Coastal Carolinamay still be struggling to recuperate after atough loss last week. Be sure to show yourEagle spirit and support as the Eagles takethe road again and take on the Chanticleersof Coastal Carolina! Go Eagles!

#1 E.J. Webb, #33 Dion DuBose: the Eagle’s defense really made a stand.

MEMOIRS OF AN UNDERGRADBY CARSON GREER

Once again this week, Thursday was my Friday and it was fun! Mynight started with a casual drink at Chops and ended with a goodtime at Buffalo’s. I went to Buffalo’s for Zac Deputy and caught

a great show, saw some new and old friends, and just had a blast. For me,Buffalo’s has been the forgotten bar but Thursday night reminded me whyI love the place. I was hesitant to go at first because I was expecting anoutrageous cover charge seeing as they were having really good musicalentertainment. To my surprise, the cover charge was only $5. That rarelyhappens in Statesboro when a good band comes in town so when I foundout, I was pretty stoked! Zac played some great music. I think he may haveturned me into a fan after Thursday night. The lights and bursts of fog fromfog machines were a bonus to the music because fun visual effects makeevery concert better in my opinion.

Saturday night, I went to Mangiamo Italian Restaurant for dinnerwith a friend and had a really nice time. We couldn’t help but complimentthe place on their choice of music. Songs from Frank Sinatra and more1920’s, Italian music really contributed to the feel of Mangiamo. As far asfood is concerned, I was definitely craving some good Italian classics,another reason that brought us to Mangiamo. I hate to say it, but I some-times judge an Italian on their meatballs, and I’ll just say that Mangiamo passed the test. I got Spaghetti and meatballs and loved it.Jessica had their special soup of the day, which was good and pretty interesting. In addition to good Italian comfort food and the clas-sic music choice, our service at Mangiamo was very welcoming, and I do appreciate good service.

All in all, I had a pretty good weekend in Statesboro. Thursday night was my night out and Saturday I had a nice relaxingevening. I think I’ll start checking in with what’s happening at Buffalo’s more often because I really did enjoy myself Thursday night.Until next time Statesboro, have a good week and I’ll see you out and about soon!

Jokers & Thieves will be playing a freeshow Friday night in honor of their newEP release entitled “Oh, To Be Let Go...”The band has been playing around the‘Boro for the last two years and their folkrock sound has garnered them quite alocal fan base. Listen Up to the band here.

What our local musicians are digging right now

Eric Williams has this to say about thenew album, “After making countlessdemos in "the shed" and sorting throughtons of songs and setlists, I feel like we'vefinally got something to be truly proud of.” Name a song you've listened to in thepast 24 hours? “Don’t laugh at this one,but the guys were singing ‘Build Me UpButtercup’ by the Foundations last week atrehearsal, and I just can’t seem to get thefreakin’ thing out of my head.”What was the first album you boughtwith your own money? “I’m gonna haveto say it was probably Chronic by Dr. Dre.Who would we be surprised to learn is inyour music collection? “Most of myfriends know that I have a thing forVanessa Carlton’s music. It’s definitely aguilty pleasure.”Recommend a band our readers musthear now? A friend of mine recently gotme into this band called theEverybodyfields. If you like alt-country, runto your computer and grab as much of theirstuff as you can.What’s your favorite local happy hourspot? I tend to flip-flop around the mainstreet block between Kbob’s and Gnat’sLanding.Favorite local independent restaurant?Don Corleone’s, but it has to be after 2am.And on his songwriting... “These songscome from many different places, but theinspiration for them is ALWAYS real. Idon’t question it, I just grab a pen and go...”

Amanda Mathis is listeningto The Misfits; Ashley Croft isdigging T-Rex; MathewNewton is playing MilesDavis “Bitches Brew”, NinaTalon is listening to RandallBramblett Band

Jay Still recommends the Australian psychedelic/bigbeat band, Tame Impala. Reminicent of the days of

Zeppelin & the Doors, give them a listen. They touredwith MGMT this summer and the lead singers favorite

song is “I Want You” by The Beatles.

SATURDAYS

Truly a one-man band, he is a powerhouse of performance, technical chops, and one hell of a charismatic presence. The Zach Deputy sound is essen-tially roots rock, but in his case the roots are in soul, calypso and dancehall, underpinned by driving hip-hop, rock steady, Stax backbeats created with his layered vocal beatboxing.

Hogg Mountain Lugg Nuts @ RetrieversWhat if Kid Rock had a head-on collision with Hank Williams Jr's bus, lost 50% of their cognitive capacity and formed a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band? They would be much like THE HOGG MTN. LUGG NUTS. While THE LUGGNUTS can't promise to play their renditions of "Every Rose has a Freebird" or "Pour Some Sugar on Alabama" they can promise you a wild, over-the-top Rock and Roll extravaganza.

A must see first-hand; their raw talent makes them unforgettable.

FRIDAY, 9/24Chris Mitchell Band @ The MillhouseWhile attending GSU Chris studied classical guitar and voice. Chris performed the first student Classical Guitar recital at GSU and was a key member in the development of the program.

FRIDAY, 8/20Incredible Sandwich @ Buffalo’sRecent recipients of a coveted Flagpole Music Award for “Best Jam Band’ in Athens, GA, beating out veterans Perpetual Groove, Incredible Sandwich is back in Statesboro. Much of the Incredible Sandwich’s initial appeal rests upon guitarist/singer Matt McKinney, who snakes in and out of lithe, cascading solos and suave, syncopated rhythms. True, the prog/jazz-laced jam sound Phish pioneered rears its head all over the Incredible Sandwich’s EP –but, again, the band plays with such skill it’s hard not to enjoy it.

SATURDAY, 8/21Barefoot Booyah @ Dingus MageesSammy & Boone have been playing to Statesboro fans since 2007. An energetic acoustic based band, Barefoot Booyah is a Statesboro amalgamate playing the musical styles that they grew up loving, but putting on their own spin, and these guys write their own music!

Cabbott Beasley was a man ofmany talents – which one bestremembered depends on who

you ask. He was a trivia extraordinaire,a cornhole master, a karaoke star, awarm whiskey lover, a great listener, acomedian, a Halloween mastermind, alover of animals and a jokester. Butmost of all, Cabbott was a great friend.

Cabbott passed away Tuesday,September 7, 2010, but his memory willstay with us forever. More than 100 peo-ple gathered together Sept. 8 to celebrateand remember our fallen comrade. Amemorial trivia and a candlelight vigilwere held in honor of Cabbott at hishome away from home – Kbob Kelly’s.

Despite a few-- tears shed for him,Cabbott is remembered with big smilesand hearty laughs. He beat us all atcornhole, out sang us all at karaoke,creeped us all out on Halloween, outdrank us all at the bar and loved us allcompletely. Cabbott never met astranger, and his friendship knew nobounds.

Cabbott, you’re in heaven, but weknow you’re giving them hell. We loveyou, and we will remember you always. - Your Statesboro family

A Tribute toCabbott BeasleyIt’s toasting time,where’s Cabbott?

At the bar in an emptyseat...

He’s breached the gatesof heaven, Having cock-tails with Saint Pete!

He had to get thereearly, Before happyhour’s done …

Though Kbob’s willnever be the same, Nowheaven’s a lot more fun!

During the vigil, many of Cabbott's closefriends shaved their heads in a symbolic

gesture in remembrance of him.

And remember, everyone is innocentuntil proven guilty.

The Square is always good for somepolice-related drama, and this pastweekend was no different. When apolice officer pulled up he noticed alarge crowd gathered between RudeRudy's and the Orient Express, so hepulled closer to investigate and foundthat a car was blocking traffic. As hepulled up alongside the car, a womangot out of the back seat, hitting the copcar with her door. When the officerattempted to talk to the woman, afriend of hers became irate and inter-fered, according to the police report.She continued to resist the officer andwas ultimately arrested. I don't carehow drunk you are, it's always a badidea to get into an argument with acop. You will lose.

Fighting a bar bouncer is also on thelist of bad ideas. As one man found outin the early morning hours of Sept. 12when he got into an altercation inRetrievers, was escorted out, and thenturned and swung on the bouncer, hit-ting him in the eye. The man spent thenight in jail.

Someone stole $579 worth of scrap-booking stickers from Hobby Lobbyon Sept. 9. A tricycle was stolen from aGroover Street residence Sept. 12. Anda man was caught trying to steal cop-per wire from a heating and air condi-tioning repair shop on Sept. 13.

A woman reported to police Sept. 9that the spare tire on the back of herSUV had been slashed and that she hadbeen receiving harassing phone callsthreatening her husband and "makingreligious statements."

An employee ofSave-A-Lotcalled the policeto report ashoplifter Sept. 9 andwhen the officer arrived the shoplifterwas trying to leave, but the employeepointed him out and he was stopped bythe officer. The man then handed oversome apple pies he had stolen, and asthe man was searched "further applepies were located on his person,"according to the police report.

GOOD LUCK!

ARIES (March 21-April 19):You will say things without thinking.You can be arrogant, presumptuous,and your own interests will come first.

Next weekend is when your summer fling comesto a halt. Of course that is also when you will startdating the person you met this past June.Hopefully you have kept in touch over the summermonths to make it easier. (I did tell you to keephim/her waiting for you, remember?) So, this weekyou need to make your grand plans on how to endone relationship and to start-up another.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You arepractical, peace loving, stubborn, anddeliberate. Taurus has a natural interestin money, and you like the finer things

in life. If you did not start a business back in Julyas I advised, you have your second chance nextweek. You will still be able to sell out next Mayfor a very neat profit. You really should try not tomiss this once in a lifetime opportunity. You aresometimes just too cautious and this time you maymiss out. Do not mess up this time as you have tomake a move sometime - so just do it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Geminiis versatile, fickle, intelligent, creative,quick, neat, and curious. The expectedbreakup that you have been waiting for

in a certain relationship is coming closer and closer.Money that has been withheld from you is now paid,but you have to go after it. Also any money youhave been withholding must now be paid out. This isa good time for advertising and selling somethingyou have had for ages and have been meaning to sellfor the past year.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancer is sentimental, sensitive, andneeds to have a sense of security.

Cancer is intensely romantic and has a vivid imagi-nation. People are being very cautious with theirmoney right now but you can still get your share of itby being conservative yourself. Do not be tempted tooverspend this week. You can prove yourself to beresponsible which is just what everyone wants you tobe. You are kicking around some good ideas thisweek. You will find that the more conservative theyare, the better they will turn out.

LEO (July 23-August 22): Leo is col-orful, self assured, outgoing, impulsiveand expansive. You will have to considerthat you have just been practicing a rela-

tionship this past summer because now the real dealcomes along. The one you met in June is back in yourlife! Next weekend you will probably say goodbye toSummer Fling and say hello to Real Deal. Breakupsare hard, but with the proper planning you can do iteasily with the minimum of hurt feelings.

VIRGO (August 23-Sept 22): Virgo isintellectual, critical, fussy, and shy andneeds constant reassurance.If starting of

a business last July as I advised could not be done;you will now have a second chance next week.However. after that your money would not be thesame. You can still sell out next May and expect ahuge profit at that time. So all is not totally lost. Youhave excellent ideas so put them to use and earnsome money on your own.

LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22): Libra isartistic, musical, level headed, sympa-thetic, and generous. You can be gos-

sipy, critical, and bitter. Working behind the scenesor seeking background information is your best planof action this month. Prepare the ground-work care-fully and everything can work out very much inyour favor. Caution and conservatism should be yourfail-safe words this month. It is a good time toadvertise and sell your old transportation. Get some-thing newer and yet not too expensive to run.

SCORPIO (October 23-Nov 21): You are very intense, strong willed,determined and secretive. You can be

willful and sarcastic, but a deep thinker with a finemind. Again, you must find the time to figure out agood budget for yourself. You have some good ideasfloating around and for once they seem to be verypractical and will work just fine. Next week plan onhaving to fix up your transportation or it is going toleave you in an awkward spot. As much as you hateto exhaust your funds; right now you are going tohave to do it before it is too late.

SAGITARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Sagittarius is warm and friendly. You liketo talk a great deal making it difficult for

others to get a word in edgewise. You have had anexciting summer with whomever you have been dat-ing but next weekend will end your summer romance.The intriguing one you met in June wants to get seri-ous you need to free up some of your time forhim/her. Lay out plans this week exactly how to breakup and yet keep a friend - it can be done and you arejust the one who knows the right way to do it.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19):Capricorn is very often politicallyminded. Capricorn is also patient,

reserved, cautious, faithful and shrewd. If you couldnot make investments as I suggested last July, youhave a second chance next week in order to gain thelarger amount of money next May when you can sellout. If you did invest last July - do it again now,either in the same way or with something else. Itdoes not really matter. You will still gain all thoselovely profits next May. Also I am happy to predictthere will be more of the same for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Aquarius has a strong will, and is inven-tive, and will always enjoy doing the

unexpected, but you can be self centered. An outlay offunds needs to be spent on your home. You shouldgather some estimates this week as time is short andnext week you will have to do something quickly. It isbest to be prepared ahead of time. You know what youhave to do and putting it off will not help at all. Nextweek will also end a summer relationship you havehad but another will take it’s place very shortly.

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20):You are emotional, easy going, artisticand sociable, Pisces will see only the

good in others, but you can often be self-centered.It looks as though you will be having some troublewith your transportation and you may have to con-sider turning it in. Your mate or your best friendhas some very good ideas now and you should lis-ten to them carefully. Those ideas will appeal toyour conservative and practical side.
