City to closely monitor lagoon

TALLASSEETRIBUNE.COM

By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

Mayor Johnny Hammock and the Tallassee city council made a motion to add two city employees whose duty it will be to closely monitor what comes in and goes out of the city’s water treatment lagoon; more specifically, to monitor the leachate and septic disposal at the facility. Currently Tallassee is one of few cities in the state that will accept leachate disposal. What is leachate disposal? The technical

definition of leachate is water that has percolated through a solid and leached out some of the constituents. What if that water percolated through solid waste? This is the case with the Advanced Disposal’s leachate disposal. Rainwater that has seeped through thousands of pounds of solid waste is collected and brought to the Tallassee sewage lagoon to be treated. Cities such as Clanton, Montgomery, Prattville or Auburn do not accept leachate due to the amount of metals and bio solids

found in the substance. Advanced Disposal and the City of Tallassee have a 14-year-old contact that allows the company to dump up to 24,500 gallons of leachate a day into the sewer lagoon. According to Hammock, on Feb. 8, Advanced Disposal dumped six tankers at 7,500 gallons each or 45,000 gallons in one day, almost double the original amount agreed upon. These disposals are currently set up on an honor system. Each tanker that comes in is supposed to leave a ticket at the lagoon

which states how much septic or leachate was disposed of and where it came from. However, the city put up a hidden camera last month and noticed that six tankers came into the lagoon and dumped waste. However, only four tickets were left to be accounted for. This is what the city hopes to change by adding two city employees to closely monitor what comes in and goes out of the city’s sewer lagoon. These will only be temporary See LAGOON • Page 2

Commission hires new county attorney

By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

The Elmore County engineer announced he will appear in Washington, D.C., as a panelist before two House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittees on the way federal grant money is disbursed to counties. Highway Department Director Richie Beyer made the announcement at the recent county commission meeting, saying he was asked by Rep. Gary Palmer, who was newly made the chair of Intergovernmental Affairs Subcommittee, to speak at the National Association of Counties Legislative Conference. “I’m going to be talking about federal highways and disasters,” said Beyer, who went on to say. “...but it’s very frustrating when you can – if it was just strictly See COMMISSION • Page 2

The Lions Club along with Neptune Technology Group held the third annual Roaring 5K Run on what was a brisk but beautiful Saturday morning. The run began on South Ann Street. From there the participants ran across the Benjamin Fitzpatrick Bridge and turned around and ran back across the bridge. The final legs of the 5K took participants to the river walk and then back to South Ann Street. There was a great turnout for this year’s event with more than 80 participating. Registration began at 7 a.m. and the race began at 8 a.m. sharp. The top three placements went to Eric Sivill, followed by Caleb Weldon who came in second and Kris Winslett, who took third place.

Deryel Ladelle “Boodie” Moore Burton, born Dec 3, 1937, died on March 6, 2017, in Montgomery. She was the beloved daughter of Evelyn (Foshee) and Thurston Moore, devoted wife of Hal “Buddy” Burton, and loving mother of Scott Burton, all of whom predeceased her. Boodie’s mother-in-law Myrtice B. Coan was a wonderful companion and also preceded her in death. She is survived by her guardian/cousin Andy Hornsby and his wife Wanda, and by numerous cousins, life-long friends, two granddaughters, and five great-grandchildren. Boodie graduated from Tallassee High School in the class of 1956 where she was a cheerleader and popular classmate. She was a great cook and was noted for her delicious crab cakes. She and her husband lived in New Jersey, North Carolina, and among others before returning home to Tallapoosa County. They later found their happy place in Gulf Shores, AL, and lived there many

positions. Once a state-of-the-art surveillance system is installed the need for the employees will no longer be necessary. Furthermore, Hammock hopes that the sewer lagoon can become a major generator of city funds. For instance, in January one septic company discarded 66 loads of septic waste into the lagoon for a flat rate of $750 for unlimited discharges. If the city were to charge by the load the amount of money gained would be substantially greater. For instance, if the city charged $100 a load the septic company would have paid the city $6,600. Even if the city were to only charge $50 a load the cost would have been $3,300 – still considerably more than $750.

Hammock proposed a 7-cent per gallon charge for leachate disposal and would like to have Advanced Disposal cover $5 million in liability should toxic waste material be dumped into the city lagoon. Furthermore, the city will begin to test samples of the leachate before it is discarded on a monthly basis. The unlimited flat fee of $750 for septic disposal will soon be a thing of the past. Septic companies will soon be paying by the tanker. City officials hope to meet with executives at Advanced Disposal in the near future to hammer out a deal that will suit the needs of both entities.

Affairs and the Subcommittee on the Interior, Energy and Environment. When asked if it would be televised through some outlet like C-Span, Beyer said: “I’m afraid it’s going to be.” He said he was asked to speak as a specialist, largely from his experience as the 2012-2013 president of National Association of County Engineers and his experience as 2007-08 state president of that organization. With about five minutes to speak, Beyer said he can turn in written testimony and will be asked questions about 90 minutes to two hours. He said the connection with Palmer likely arose through his brother, who he said is also a county engineer in the state. “We’ve been working for five-to-10 years trying to get some forms to how projects are delivered and expedited, typically when we’re doing a federal aide project we typically see one-and-a-half to two times higher cost for a project that has federal dollars than if we could spend just local money. The problem is we don’t have the local money so we have to have the federal dollars to help us do things,” Beyer said. “That’s why we’ve been chasing so many grants, those are typically a 20-percent match so the county puts 20-percent in and they get 80-percent additional money so that’s where the benefit comes from the county.” The hiring of a new Elmore County Attorney was the first

old business on the agenda. The previous attorney’s resignation was approved at the last council meeting Chair Troy Stubbs said that a local Elmore County attorney with previous experience was preferred. Commissioner Bart Mercer made the first statement on the topic. “I’ve … reviewed all the resumes and information we’ve received. While they all seem very good attorneys with plenty of information and supplies that could all be evaluated, I feel as if Jeff Courtney is the one that has been here before and has experience on serving the county commission in the past, so I highly value that experience,” said Mercer. Commissioner Mack Daugherty said he concurred with Mercer, and said there was a big plus in having served the county commission already. “Certainly all attorneys are learned in the law, but I’m sure we would all agree that county law is a specific area that some attorneys very seldom ever practice in that area,” said Daugherty. Commissioner Steve Holt said his only concern was a difference in cost. “I just want to make sure that we understand you’re paying $50 an hour versus more than $150 versus $200, that’s the only thing I would say in relation to that we have to weigh that out, and we need to look at that, I think, in everything we do to be honest. Whether it’s equipment for our engineering department or whatever, if we’re

had the opportunity, he would enter into negotiations. Of the proposals, Stubbs said any would be more cost efficient than the previous attorney. “He may in fact get something done in 30 minutes to an hour where a new attorney who’s in the beginning stages of learning county government may take a little bit longer, so that’s just speculation on my part, but I do think it’s something we need to consider.” A motion was made to hire attorney Jeff Courtney and authorize the commission chairman to negotiate the contract accordingly. Also on the agenda, Holt proposed the independent audit of county finances, following the audit recently announced at the previous meeting. “It’s just to make sure the money goes to the right account and is accounted for,” said Holt. Ultimately it was tabled until a later date. All other items at the meeting were approved, and the next meeting was set Monday March 13.

Jump Rope For Heart, the American Heart Association has been able to impact many lives thanks to the support of teachers, students and parents. This is the fourth year that TES has participated in Jump Rope For Heart and their collective total is an impressive one. “We have raised over $25,000 within 4 years,” Brown said. During this event participating schools receive a Heart Foundation Jump Rope for Heart resource kit, explaining how to conduct the program over a two to nine week period. “We raised just over $6,000 in two weeks,” Brown said. “Most schools hold the fundraiser for four to nine weeks, but we raised it all in just two short weeks.” During this time, students collect donations and participate in healthy activities organized at the school. “Mrs. Shirley and Coach Gantt handled the administrative duties. Mrs. Funderburk came up with dance to Beat It,” Brown said. At the end of the program, a special Jump Off Day is held to celebrate and demonstrate the skills learned and health knowledge gained. This year TES students dressed as their favorite superhero. “Our theme this year was Heart Hero,” Brown said. “We asked students to dress as their favorite super hero like Spiderman or Superman. Many students dressed as heros such as police officers, firefighters, nurses and doctors.”

According to Brown, thank you prizes are awarded to participants for their fundraising efforts. “It’s not a prize,” he said. “It’s an incentive to go out and put in the hard work that it takes to raise this money,” he said. While some students and parents raised money the old-fashioned way, by going door-to-door asking for donations, some chose a different method. Many students and parents raised money for a Jump Rope For Heart event online and made the same impact as they would by spending hours on the phone or on in-person requests. Using the online donation tool, supporters can give donations in the same amount of time it takes them to sign up for a new email address. Regardless of how TES students chose to raise the funds, the fact remains that these students took time from their busy schedules to make a difference in the life of a stranger. “The students do this because they want to be a part of something bigger than themselves,” Brown said. “This gives them the opportunity to give back and to help others.”

Styx at the MPAC: A performance that merits review The So-Called Column By Willie G. Moseley

hadn’t planned on writing a column about the recent Styx concert at the Montgomery Performing Arts Center, particularly since last week’s column was about Foreigner’s performance at the same venue. However, after experiencing the Styx show, I changed my mind. Full disclosure up front: This space has sung the praises of Styx before, and the Missus and I always try to catch a concert by that aggregation at least once a year. Most times, it’s a gig at one of the casinos in Biloxi, which makes for a nice overnight getaway. However, the March 2 show was the band’s third appearance at the MPAC and allowed us to take our daughter, who works in Montgomery, with us. Styx performances in Montgomery are spe-

cial, because guitarist/ singer Tommy Shaw is a hometown boy, so there’s always a bit of nostalgia involved—the attendance of former bandmates from his younger days in Harmony, the combo that had a memorable residency at Kegler’s Kove on the Atlanta Highway, is exemplary. But there were also several unique facets to last week’s concert, compared to the previous two MPAC performances. It’s always interesting to observe how a bare stage is being transmogrified for an upcoming show, and Styx’s technicians epitomize how it’s done. All of the techs are focused and efficient in their preparations, as usual. Such work has been lauded here in years past, and the minimal amount of personnel changes in the ensuing times are a testimony to such tenacity. And backstage last Thursday afternoon, Shaw consented to an on-camera interview for a Montgomery history project that’s being documented by a renowned vid-

eographer. An unexpected bonus for the video dude happened when he was able to record a spontaneous segment—Tommy’s veteran guitar tech pulled each of Shaw’s road instruments out of the rack to explain to the camera which guitar was used on which song, differences in design and setup, etc. One unique “catering” idea that was strictly local consisted of two boxes of Chris’ hot dogs being sent to the band’s hospitality room. Located on Dexter Avenue, the legendary Montgomery eatery will be celebrating its centennial in May. There were also some surprises in the show itself. For the first few songs, I happened to be stationed

at stage right, hanging out with Montgomery musician Bobby Moore Jr. His late father was the founder/leader of the Montgomery soul band Bobby Moore and the Rhythm Aces of “Searching For My Love” fame and the younger Moore was called onstage to perform a duet with Shaw. (Tangent: Some Baby Boomer music fans may recall a Capital City venue on Holt Street called the Laicos Club, where musicians like Clarence Carter and Moore’s band performed on a regular basis. One wonders how many folks ever figured out that “Laicos” is “social” spelled backwards) Regular attendance of Styx concerts has made it

clear that in addition to the set list comprised primarily of hits, the band usually pulls at least one ol’ chestnut out of the musical vaults, and this time around the token tune was “Snowblind,” on which guitarist James “J.Y.” Young absolutely wailed. As for Shaw, it seemed like he covered some new musical turf with his 12-string guitars. Keyboard player/singer Lawrence Gowan purveyed his usual enthusiastic onstage persona and as always, bassist Ricky Phillips did a commendable job of keeping the bottom end of the sonic mix rock-solid. Founding bassist Chuck Panozzo, who is semi-retired, was also on hand to contribute to a couple of songs.

And the aforementioned position on stage right validated, for me at least, why Todd Sucherman is the Mecha-Godzilla of rock drummers. Viewing his workout from the side of the stage, just a few feet away from his drum kit, was a remarkable experience—Sucherman rampaged all over his drums in an innovative yet hyper-precise style that is amazing to see and hear. During the performance, the unseen sound, light, and instrument techs did their job, period. The visuals included the abrupt-and-expected flash of lights around Sucherman’s drum kit whenever he shut down a song. Styx actually took a 20-minute break then returned to play more music, including an innovative acoustic guitar and piano duet with Shaw and Gowan. Other than perhaps the “two-complete-albums-tour” about six years ago, this was the longest show by the band we’d attended and it was the dynamic and professional performance that fans like us have come to expect. In my experience, Styx has never disappointed in its concert presentation and one gets the gratifying feeling that’s the way it will always be.

The Tallassee Tribune

ack in 2003 a crew came here and built a cave at our boat landing on the Tallapoosa River. This was to be the home of a giant in the movie “The Big Fish.” They used some other spots around here, too. The big place they used was over near Coosada and Millbrook where they built a town and named it Sprectre. This site was on Jackson Lake Island. I’d never been there until recently. I had to be in the area so my daughter-in-law and I decided to stop everything and visit Sprectre. It only cost $3 a person. If you remember Mayor Bobby Bright of Montgomery and his wife Lynn who had a career in law, they own this property. They didn’t allow the movie set to be torn down but catastrophe struck when fire destroyed some of the buildings. As we drove up to the main street there was the cable stretched across the road with shoes hung over them just like in the movie. There were two grotesque

I went to Spectre The Coffee Breaker By Ronald Brantley looking trees at the entrance to the street that was left from the movie and then there was Main Street where a lot of the movie took place. Let’s stop for a minute and let me remind you to get a copy of the movie if you haven’t seen it and if you have seen the movie it will be good to see it again. The church at the end of the street is still standing and all of this makes the trip worthwhile. The island is surrounded by the Alabama River and if you will look on the internet you can find an aerial view of the island and all of its beauty. Another movie “Dead Birds” was filmed there but I haven’t seen it yet. As we drove up to this beautiful island we were surprised to see quite a few campers parked around and

people out on the water in fancy fishing boats. Not only were they fishing but there was all kinds of waterfowl swimming around and diving for fish. I’m not a bird expert by any means other than purple martins and I learn something new about them all the time. Some of these birds looked like loons and cranes. The place is clean and neat but there are signs warning about alligators and snakes. People had their tents up around the banks of the river and I thought of how great it would be for a Boy Scout Troop to camp there. There’s a crush rock gravel road that circles the entire island and would be ideal for the young to walk or the older ones like myself to ride slowly around looking at the beautiful sights. The houses and buildings were to be built for the movie “The Big Fish” itself and then bulldozed but the Brights asked the movie company to just leave and not destroy the buildings. They were cheaply made

and not made to last so they are showing great signs of needing repair. If you live in our town get on Highway 14 and stay on it until you pass Elmore, take a left on Coosada Parkway and follow it until you come to a dead end. Take another left and follow it until you see the Jackson Lake Island signs and you are there. About the same distance as Tallassee is to Millbrook. You will find this to be a thrilling trip. Already my family’s planning on canoeing, camping, picnicking and riding bikes around this beautiful place. If you forget something don’t worry you are only minutes from Prattville. One thing not to forget is your camera because you will want to use it over and over. Have I forgotten anything? Probably many things but you can bet on it…I’ll be going back if the Lord is willing. Brantley is a Tallassee resident and a regular columnist for The Tribune.

A feast worth fighting for

ast week, I drove down to Orange Beach to give the closing keynote at a social workers conference. I had to use my lady’s car, because my brake pads on my 4Runner are pretty much nonexistent. I could’ve cut a hole in the floorboard and used my Flintstone brakes but found it easier just to use her car. I miss having a car. It was so nice driving a vehicle with excellent gas mileage. The 4Runner goes through gas like I go through bags of shredded cheese. The drive down to the coast was great. The only issue was when some idiot in a truck felt the need to cut me off. I sped back up and gave him the evil eye as I passed him. I felt pretty tough until I looked in my rearview mirror and noticed the monogram on the window. It’s hard to be a tough guy with a teal monogram plastered on the back window. Be that as it may, I sure liked driving her car. When I got to the hotel, I couldn’t find a parking spot. The lot was literally filled up, so I had no choice but to use valet parking. The last time I used valet parking, someone stole my laptop from my trunk, but that was a little over three years ago in New Orleans. Before I handed the young man my keys, I put my laptop in the trunk right next to the pink Yeti cooler. My Keynote went extremely well. In fact, I don’t mind saying it’s one of the best experiences I’ve had with respect to my public speaking. I received more positive feedback from that group than I have from any other in quite some time. I appreciated and continue to appreciate what they do as social workers, and they apparently appreciated my story, as well. On the way back, I decided to pick up some fresh seafood to take home. I stopped at a place that I’d never seen before, and I’m so glad I did. It was such a pleasant experience with a few humorous jabs thrown in with the shrimp, crawfish, and oysters. The jabs came at the expense of that pink Yeti cooler. They gave me a hard time about it; however it didn’t faze me one bit. I stood my ground and told them they hadn’t seen nothing, yet. “Just waiting until you see my teal monogram,” I said. When I got home, we had a feast. The crawfish had already been cooked and seasoned, so we simply had to steam them before pinching the tails and sucking the heads. They were ridiculously delicious. If you’ve never tried crawfish, you’re missing out. I developed a fondness for them while living in Louisiana. While I eat raw oysters often, I’d never shucked them but figured I needed to check that block on my list of new things to try. I didn’t have an oyster glove or oyster knife, so I adapted and overcame and used my own gear – a leather glove and a short flathead screwdriver. Most of them opened with minimal effort on my part, but some of them were quite challenging. In fact, I cussed at a couple of them. The funny thing is that the ones which were most challenging to crack open were the tastiest and most aesthetically pleasing to the eye – well, as aesthetically pleasing as a raw oyster can be. Some things are hard to crack, but you never give up. If it’s something you want bad enough, grab your gear, fight for it, and make it happen, especially when it involves pink coolers and monograms.

‘Smokey and the Bandit’ at 40

he highest-grossing film of 1977 was the original “Star Wars.” As the juggernaut from a galaxy far, far away continues to spawn sequels, prequels, and other associated material, it’s been easy to forget the second-highest grossing film of 1977, forty years ago this year: “Smokey and the Bandit.” Pontiac may have gone out of business during the bailout-era General Motors years, but their Trans Am – at least the one like Burt Reynolds drove in the film – is alive and well. In fact, last month, a version of the Bandit’s Trans Am sold for $450,000 at an auction. Reynolds drove it there himself, and met the buyer! There are versions with Reynolds’ autograph on the hood, and other neat features for fans of the movie. The movie almost didn’t get made. It was written and directed by Hal Needham, who had been Burt Reynolds’ stunt double in several movies and was one of his closest friends. The timing was perfect. The

She was eager to do CB (Citizens Band) radio something lighthearted and craze popularized by the fun, and as she said later, C.W.

Along the way, they are tailed by Sheriff Justice and his son, who was jilted at the altar by a struggling actress named Carrie. Bandit (Bo) picks up Carrie and nicknames her “Frog.” Bandit, Frog, and Snowman encounter lots of thrilling adventures on their way from Texas back to Georgia. So, 40 years later, how does “Smokey and the Bandit” hold up? For one thing, it’s one of the most entertaining films of the 70s. The antics of Jackie Gleason as Sheriff Justice alone are worth the existence of this movie. The car chases and crashes, the hilarious jokes, funny characters, and great music (especially Reed’s “East Bound And Down,” which tells the story of the film in three minutes) bring back a time period when it seemed cool to be Southern, admirable to be an outlaw, and even better to be Burt Reynolds.

Bentley’s support likely deterrent to prison bond issue

he premier issue of this year’s legislative session will be whether to borrow a massive amount of money to build new prisons in the state. This initiative appears to be our lame duck Gov. Robert Bentley’s primary agenda. Last year Bentley proposed an $800 million bond issue for new prisons. He has come forward with a similar proposal this year. His plan would close all existing prisons and replace them with three new super men’s prisons and one smaller women’s prison. Folks, $800 million is a lot of money. There is no question that we have a prison problem. Alabama’s prison population is at 175% of capacity. It is among the highest in the nation. This overcrowding obviously causes violence and safety problems for our prison guards. The federal courts are probably on the verge of dosing out some kind of remedy for our prisons. The courts took over the California prisons a couple of years ago with a lower overcrowding ratio than ours is now. It is a tough spot for legislators. Funding prisons is not a popular reelection issue. There are several questions that would have to be answered if I were a legislator addressing this serious problem. First, if I were going to put this state in debt for that amount of money I would have to ask the imperative question, “How in the world are you going to pay for the debt?” There needs to be absolute, concrete, valid, exact revenue sources to make the payment. It

Inside the Statehouse By Steve Flowers is doubtful that any banker would loan someone any money if the vague pie in the sky ambiguous reply was, “Well, the prisons will be more efficient and therefore the savings will probably be enough to pay the note.” Probably ain’t going to get it is what I am afraid the banker would say to the borrower. The last time I checked there was no growth revenue in the General Fund. So hoping that there might be new revenue growth is also wishful thinking. You simply have to put dollars and cents to exactly how much you save with these nuts and bolts and how you are going to pay the bond indebtedness. Otherwise you are buying a pig in a poke. In addition, the crazy point is that these ultramodern new prisons still leave us with overcrowded prisons. Therefore, it does not solve the problem. Another question that would have to be answered is why does the governor’s proposal require that the new prisons be designed and built by one company with a one-time exemption to the state bid laws. That just does not meet the smell test. That simply looks corrupt and, as they say, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be a duck.

Finally, if I were a legislator from a county or neighboring county that had a state prison located in my area, hell would freeze over before I would let the governor close it. I would rather cast a vote dissolving my county than vote to borrow $800 million in order to close down one of my area’s largest employers. Just ask the people in Elmore, Escambia, St. Clair, Limestone and Bibb what it would mean for their county economics if they closed their prisons. The prisons in Barbour and Bullock counties are the largest employers in their counties. Filibuster would have a new meaning if one of those prisons was in my Senate district. I would tell them in a New York minute, “that dog won’t hunt.” Besides, when the legislature last built new prisons in the aforementioned locales during the last Wallace administration they bought plenty of extra land around those prisons for future expansions. Gerald Wallace made sure of that. The good thing for you, the Alabama taxpayer, is that this bond issue probably will not pass simply because Bentley is for it. He is essentially a deterrent to anything passing in the legislature. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

Receiving housing benefits? Trip to Social Security may not be needed

ocial Security is constantly evolving to make your life easier. If you are currently receiving benefits from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and are reapplying for benefits or are assisting someone with their application, a trip to the Social Security office is probably not necessary even if verification of Social Security benefits is needed. Because of a data exchange established between Social Security and HUD, most people do not need to contact Social

KYLLE’ MCKINNEY Social Security

Security for a benefit verification letter. HUD administrators processing a Recertification Application for Housing Assistance can use their Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) System to verify Social Security and Supplemental Security Income benefits. Public housing agencies, private owners, and management agents administering HUD rental

assistance programs may get registration information about EIV by logging onto the following websites: go.usa.gov/x97mH or go.usa.gov/x97m6. If you are a new applicant for housing assistance, you can provide your HUD administrator with your Social Security award letter, Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) notice, SSA-1099 or other SSA benefit document you should have received at the beginning of the calendar year or when you began receiving benefits, whichever is later. We created these data

exchange agreements to help you get the support you need at the first point of contact, even if that’s not with Social Security. If you do need to provide proof of Social Security benefits yourself, we have another way to save you a trip to Social Security. You can get an instant benefit verification letter with a personal my Social Security account at www.socialsecurity.gov/ myaccount. Kylle’ D. McKinney is an Alabama Social Security Public Affairs Specialist.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Move through some intense feelings in the morning. Try not to take out your frustration or anger on the Ă&#x201E;rst person you see today. By the afternoon, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll return to your loving self. Your imagination comes out in the afternoon. Tonight: Once more, let your creativity make the call. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your frustration builds when dealing with a superior. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see events and situations arise that could upset you. You might want to pull back in the afternoon and have an intense conversation with a loved one. You have a lot more control than you realize. Tonight: At home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Make sure your calculations are correct. Balance your checkbook, and be aware of bills coming in. The pace quickens in the afternoon, and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to worry about any details. You gain a new perspective, which drives your conversations. Tonight: Hang out with a pal. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are in your element in the afternoon. Your temper comes out when dealing with a person who is hot under the collar. You are better oÉ&#x2C6; saying little for now. Touch base with a loved one later in the day. Buy a card or token of aÉ&#x2C6;ection. Tonight: Indulge yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might feel oÉ&#x2C6; in the morning, but things will look up as the day goes on. Your mood in general could change. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll claim your power, and your personality will help melt barriers. Your creativity emerges when dealing with a diÉ&#x2030;cult person. Tonight: Be with loved ones. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will be in a position where you need to be more accepting of what you hear. You might become distraught by what comes down your path in the morning. As a result, you are likely to shut down and do some reĂ&#x2026;ection. Tonight: Do something that centers you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pressure builds in an unusual way in the morning. A new friend could be touchy, which is likely to make a situation diÉ&#x2030;cult to control. Try not to manipulate the matter; just let it go. Do not miss an important get-together in the afternoon. Tonight: Zero in on what you want. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Look at a situation from each personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective. You will gain understanding as a result, and your support will be greatly appreciated. You want to avoid a heated domestic issue that is lingering but volatile. Be sensitive to the parties involved. Tonight: A force to behold. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A loved one keeps inĂ&#x2026;aming a problem beyond anything you could imagine. Eventually you will lose your cool, and the other party might become upset as a result. Perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll decide to ignore the matter altogether. Be more understanding with a partner. Tonight: Go with the Ă&#x2026;ow. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to be more receptive to others who show you a lot of caring. Try not to fall back into your more controlling ways. You could Ă&#x201E;nd it diÉ&#x2030;cult to stay neutral, but in the long run, you will be better oÉ&#x2C6; for it. Tonight: Respond to a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invitation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Get your work done. You could be overwhelmed by your choices. Focus on your chosen direction. You have more energy than usual, and you can be a handful, especially in the morning. Be willing to listen to someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts and ideas. Tonight: Be more available. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are more forthright and direct than you have been in the recent past. Help a loved one in the morning, and create a greater sense of direction as a result. Your imagination often kicks in when facing a diÉ&#x2030;cult or challenging situation. Tonight: Slow down, and relax.
