Another print newspaper bites the dust. This time it is the
30-year old USA (USA Today) Weekend newspaper that is
generally distributed with a local paper as a supplement.
Newspaper readers are gravitating toward digital

Print, as a medium, is almost dead.
Aware advertisers ride the wave of the digital revolution.

STOPPING THE WHACK JOBS
WITH CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY
NEWS BRIEFS
TEXAS WOULD BE THE IDEAL LAB TO PROVE THIS WORKS
This past week boggles my mind as to the
senseless amount of violence that occurred
within miles of the readership of the Public
News.
Firstly, Spencer Golvach, bassist for proggy
Houston post-hardcore trio The Dead Revolt
was shot and killed in
an alleged random act of
violence by an undocumented immigrant. A few
hours later, this alleged
shooter took one more
life before losing his own
in a gun battle with a
Houston police officer.
Secondly, at the Super
Target located in Spring,
a gunman attempting a
shot at two
Ken Petty carjacking
women hitting one of
them in the head. The gunman, as of press
time, is still on the loose.
This is just a sampling of what is going
on around the nation and it’s not getting any
better. It pains me to no end to read about
unarmed citizens being attacked, and some
being killed for no reason, by the lawlessness
of another person.
What would stop a person like this? Would
it be to make more gun laws? Would it be
to make gun manufacturers quit producing
firearms of any kind? Would it be to confiscate
all guns currently registered?
No. Criminals don’t obey gun laws, so why
do our legislators pass those kinds of laws
anyway? Taking extreme and unconstitutional measures such as registering firearms
is just one step removed from disarming the
citizenry. Criminals would have an unfettered
access to commit any crime they could get
away with. It seemingly exists now.
I have a rather sane approach to this. Let’s
follow the letter of the constitution and allow
people to arm themselves without having to
jump through bureaucratic hoops and unnecessary gun registration. After all, the 2nd
Amendment of the US Constitution protects
the right of the people to keep and bear arms,
without being infringed.
I can hear the arguments now. What about
those mentally unstable people. Should they
have access to a gun? Does anyone remember
Sandy Hook? The shooter here did not “have
a gun” of his own, but he did get a hold of one
and used that to commit the atrocity that he
did.
What sane, or deranged, person would dare
commit a crime where anyone of his victims
might also be carrying a weapon? The only
thing that stops a criminal shooter is a law
abiding, gun carrying citizen.
Perhaps this would not have helped Spencer
Golvach, as his killer did not signal his intention to harm. It was a modern day ambush
that killed an innocent man. But, the women
getting to their cars at the Spring Super Target
could have put an end to that maniacs design
to take a car and kill a woman or two.
People like this are out there, still. We need
to be aware. We need to be careful. We need
to be armed.
Constitutional Carry laws are the only way
to ensure and affirm the protection of our 2nd
Amendment rights.

SPRING’S SUCCESSFULLY SPEAKING TOASTMASTERS
ANNOUNCES SPRING 2015 SPEECH CONTEST
The February 25th Event Will Feature Seven Speakers & Eleven Speeches
Successfully Speaking Toastmasters (SST) will
hold the club’s International Speech Contest and
Tall Tales Speech Contest at 7 p.m., February
25 at the Denny’s Restaurant located at 20015
Interstate 45 in Spring, Texas.
The local club’s contest is the first round of
the bi-annual international contest. Spectators
are welcome.
The 30-year old Toastmasters club named
current Vice President of Education, Thomas
Kenyon, to serve as chairman for this spring’s
event.
“Spectators will get to see sensational speakers. We’re having both an international speech
contest and a tall tales speech. Both are prepared
speeches,” SST Club President Nadia Cremers
explained.
The Tall Tales speech focuses on exaggeration
and promises to be very humourous, whereas the
International speech portion can be about any
topic.
“The contest is going to be very informative,
it will be very friendly, and you will get to see
seasoned speakers compete against seasoned
speakers,” Cremers continued.
Seven members of SST will be competing in
the speech contest, four of which will be competing in both International and Tall Tales speeches.
The contest is a very structured event for the
club, unlike regular club meetings.
Vice President of Public Relations, Otis Marks
II, hopes that this speech contest will expose and
introduce Toastmasters to others
Toastmasters International is dedicated to helping people become more effective communicators and leaders.

HOUSTON – Do family-run businesses have
more fun?
According to the principals of Houston-based
interior design firm MP Studio, the answer is an
unequivocal “Yes!”
Design director Shana Jacobs and lead designer
Brittany Biddle are cousins who believe they are
living proof that businesses can benefit from combining the talents of family members.
MP Studio is owned by Don Meeks, CEO of
Meeks + Partners, who happens to be Jacobs’ uncle
and Biddle’s father.
In all, seven family members work alongside
each other when the companies get the opportunity
to join forces for a project: Mindy Meeks, MP Studio’s shopper who purchases all the accessories and
runs the showroom, is Don’s wife; their son Donnie, a trained chef, is now an intern at MP Studio,
changing his career path by going back to school to
study interior design; Meeks’ sons Ryan and Trevor
are both architects at Meeks + Partners, with Ryan
serving as a partner of the firm.
Biddle explained that although MP Studio was
acquired by Meeks, it remains independent, operating as a “sister company” to the architecture firm.
And when the firms work together – which they often do – the closeness they share provides a definite
advantage for all involved.
“There’s a level of trust and confidence in one
another that we think creates a strong sense of
teamwork,” she said.
Shana Jacobs was the owner of Jacobs Design
Group, a single-family interior design firm, before
selling her business to Meeks, who said he has
had visions of creating an interiors group since he
found out his niece was studying design.
After receiving her degree in interior design,
Jacobs went to work for some of the best design
firms in the state, gaining the experience, skills and
confidence needed to launch her own firm.
“MP Studio and Meeks + Partners have two
separate office spaces within the same building,”
she said. “We normally operate separately from one
another unless working on a project together.”
MP Studio still does a lot of single-family design,
but “If we’re working on a multifamily project
together, there is a lot of back and forth between the
two companies,” Jacobs said.
For example, Meeks + Partners recently provided
the architecture for a multifamily clubhouse for
which MP Studio designed the interiors.
“While working on our construction document
set, we were able to refer to the architectural set
multiple times to make sure the sets coincided
with one another,” Jacobs said. “Being in the same
building allows us to be more efficient, thorough
and detailed when working on projects together.”
Biddle said that recently Meeks + Partners also
worked with MP Studio on the design of a clubhouse in Fredericksburg, Va.
“Because we worked with Meeks + Partners on
the club, we were able to get our hands on the floor
plans earlier than we typically would,” she said.
“As a result, we were better able to control lighting,
fixture and electrical locations – all of which are
crucial to our design.”
Jacobs said what she likes best about having a
family business is the relaxed atmosphere, ease of
communication and a greater drive to succeed.
“We are all counting on each other,” she said.
“We are all close, so it is also fun to see each other
throughout the day and just say ‘Hi.’”
Biddle said the whole family loves design. “We
all have done our share of home renovations and
DIY projects,” she said. “We are a big Italian family, so we love going out to eat together and sharing
our ideas.”

THE HOBBY CENTER
Kinky Boots, the smash-hit musical that brings
together four-time Tony® Award-winner Harvey
Fierstein (Book) and Grammy® Award-winning rock
icon Cyndi Lauper (Tony Award-winner for Best
Score for Kinky Boots), plays at The Hobby Center
February 10-22.
Directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner
Jerry Mitchell, Kinky Boots opened on Broadway
April 4, 2013 and continues to play to standing-roomonly crowds nightly. The show, which has broken all
box office records at the Hirschfeld Theatre, recouped
its costs in October 2013, after just 30 weeks on
Broadway.
Kinky Boots took home six 2013 Tony Awards,
the most of any show in the season, including Best
Musical, Best Score (Cyndi Lauper), Best Choreography (Jerry Mitchell), Best Orchestrations (Stephen

show also received the Drama League, Outer Critics
Circle and Broadway.com Awards for Best Musical
and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Album,
along with many other accolades.
In Kinky Boots,Charlie Price has reluctantly inherited his father’s shoe factory, which is on the verge
of bankruptcy. Trying to live up to his father’s legacy
and save his family business, Charlie finds inspiration
in the form of Lola. A fabulous entertainer in need
of some sturdy stilettos, Lola turns out to be the one
person who can help Charlie become the man he’s
meant to be. As they work to turn the factory around,
this unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible… and discovers
that when you change your mind about someone, you
can change your whole world.
Kyle Taylor Parker plays the role of Lola. Kyle was
one of the Angels in the original Broadway company
as well as the Lola understudy. Steven Booth stars as
shoe factory owner Charlie Price. Parker and Booth
are joined by Lindsay Nicole Chambers as Lauren,
Joe Coots as Don, Craig Waletzko as George and
Grace Stockdale in her touring debut as Nicola.

TRIBUTE TO MAE WEST
FEBRUARY 11th 2pm-3pm
HUNTSVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Huntsville Public Library will present Mary
Anne Burkhalter’s “Tribute to Mae West” on Wednesday, February 11, from 2-3 p.m., in the Library’s
Community Room.
Ms. Burkhalter has portrayed Miss West across the
country for over 20 years, bringing rare songs and
material to the show, and takes great pride in keeping
the comedienne’s work alive in her “Tribute to Mae
West.” Her comedy carries over into the audience, as
she employs a unique brand of walk-around humor
and involves audience members in on-stage comedic
skits.
Mae West rose to international stardom, and in 1932
was the highest-paid woman in America. Ms. West
was notorious for her snappy wit and controversial
characters, and notable for writing all her own material.
Mary Anne Burkhalter was raised in Houston, where
her first role was playing Dorothy in The Wizard of
Oz at the Alley Theatre. She has since performed from
coast to coast and overseas, and is currently writing
and performing more than a dozen musical shows.
The Huntsville Public Library is located at 1219
13th Street. Contact Denise Tilson at 936-291-5471

“It’s Like Deja’ vu all over again”
-Yogi Berra
by Bart Pearston
ART TALK
THE SLAVE SHIP by J.M.W. TURNER
by Rosanne Friedman
Each year our family watches the comedy film
“Groundhog Day” with Bill Murray and Andie
McDowell. The plot is the ultimate hellish deja’vu
trip. It only ends when he learns from his past and
then changes. For me, last week wasn’t nearly as
funny for me as I was in a
second accident involving
a college-aged driver. I’m
fine physically, but this
is getting expensive! In
both accidents, the other
drivers claimed I was at
fault though they wouldn’t
provide any details why. I
suspect they were texting
while driving but I had no
Bart Pearston proof.
One of my many
disappointments with
“Governor Rick” was his veto in 2011 of the bill
banning texting while driving for those above 18 as
well as those under. I suspect it was due to cellular
phone company lobbying pressure, but he claimed
it was, “an expansive government intrusion on the
behavior of adults” while admitting that, “texting
while driving is dangerous, irresponsible, and
reckless”. Speaker Craddick expressed regret over
the bill which would have greatly increased public
safety being vetoed. All laws restrict the behavior
of those affected and protecting them is hardly an
“unwarranted” intrusion when distracted driving is
the fastest growing cause of traffic “accidents” and
fatalities.
My other disappointment was his refusal to
require E-Verify to protect jobs for US citizens
6
FEBRUARY 4 - 10, 2015
or those with legal work visas in Texas. I too, felt
his “donors” in the home building and agriculture
industries played a huge in that decision. It’s way
past time for both of these. Fortunately BOTH bills
are being reintroduced this session.
I fully support constitutional checks and balances,
but when duly elected representatives overwhelmingly pass legislation, it is “downright undemocratic” to veto them. In 2006, Perry was elected with
only 39% of the vote in a four-way gubernatorial
election. I hardly feel he had any popular mandate
and won’t miss his propensity to cater to special
interests over the public’s will.
If Perry’s poor 2012 debate performances, his
1988 Texas chairmanship of Al Gore’s candidacy,
and his granting in-state tuition for illegal immigrants don’t keep him from ever being his party’s
presidential nominee; his reputation of catering to
lobbyists surely will. I say it’s time he rides off into
the sunset.
As we prepare for more vetoes nationally, a proposed federal budget well in excess of $4 trillion
with an expected deficit of a $500 billion even with
new $144 Billion in additional taxes, and numerous
battles with Congress trying to rein in runaway
deficit spending, I’m reminded of the old Yogi saying, “It’s like Deja’vu all over again.”
I’m afraid it’s more like “Groundhog Day” and
won’t stop until they learn and change. (Sorry,
if I spoiled the plot folks). Wouldn’t it be nice if
Punxsutawney Phil’s forecast of six more weeks
of winter applied to our government’s “kicking the
can down the road” and we can look forward to a
change soon? Hey, I can dream can’t I?
PUBLIC NEWS
Mr. Turner is a biographical movie about J. M.
W. Turner currently playing at the River Oaks Theatre in Houston. The New York Times called this
the best film about an artist ever made; the Houston
Chronicle gave it one and a half stars. What’s going
on here?
The movie resembles his paintings in atmosphere.
Facts about Turner emerge from dialog between
characters and direct replaying of some events.
Turner was a salt of the earth fellow from the
working class, working very hard, showing signs of
extraordinary talent very young. His first painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy when he
was 15, he was a fellow of the Royal Academy
throughout his life. He left 20,000 works in his
wake. He chose to give them to the country rather
than sell them to a ready buyer. During his life
Turner was derided as his paintings became more
and more abstract—about movement, gradiated
light, color, atmosphere and pure space pushing all
of art toward Modernism. Now those late works are
celebrated. His last words were, “God is the Sun.”
Turner’s lifelong pursuit of Radiance and Nature
overpowering man are lessons for all time.
The standard of the early 19th century, before the
camera came along and changed everything, was
that the subject matter of painting had a pecking
order: first history painting, then portraiture, landscape (seascape) and then still life. On The Slave
Ship, Turner’s answer was to put current events in
the seascape. The capsizing of a Slave Ship was a
comment to the times; Slavery was being outlawed
in more and more countries around the world.
Britain moved against slavery in 1801, the United
States in 1863.
Viewers may be enchanted by this light and
movement pulling us in and around the canvas,
feeling rather than just seeing the waves and then
Turner, always the master draftsman, shocks us
with those perfect images of bodies in shackles and
drowning.
Nature itself screams, the painting works to
plunge and lift us to the moral outrage that Turner
felt.
Should you look at his paintings as movement,
the painters whose primary focus was gesture look
to Turner as their first.
Should you look at his paintings as color, he
instructs the colorists.
Should you look at his paintings as a celebration
of visual accuracy, he speaks to the realists.
Should you look at his paintings as atmosphere he
is the Father of the impressionists.
Should you look at his paintings as pure form, he
predates the Modernists.
Should you look to painting for social protest, one
more time we find Turner right there.
When visiting the Tate Gallery, where many
Turner paintings are found, I found myself sitting
in a lecture where the speaker suggested this: The
French and Italian artists first choose beauty, the
British, Germans and the Americans first choice is
Truth.
The movie about Turner is British, it’s first choice
is truth but it’s not an easy truth. Mr. Turner is a
must see.
A FOODIE’S PERSPECTIVE
Taste of the Town 2015:
A Foodie’s Perspective
By Paul Van Deusen
Imagine a venue where you could taste a diverse sampling of foods from some of the area’s
best and most popular
restaurants, as well as an
adult beverage or two,
and you were free to go
back and resample your
favorites as often as you
wished. In other words, a
“Best Of” buffet, and all
for the price you’d probably spend on dinner for
yourself at many of these
same establishments.
Paul Van Deusen Sound like a foodie’s
dream?
Well it was, at least for me.
And hopefully for several dozen of my foodie
peers from two local Facebook foodie groups to
which I belong: the Woodlands/Spring area, Tx.
Foodie Club and the Spring/Woodlands Foodie
Tasting and Deals group. Last Thursday we
had the pleasure of attending the 29th Annual
Taste of the Town at the Woodlands Waterway
Marriott.
Nick “Spring Foodie” Rama, whom you have
read here and is also an administrator for the
Foodie Tasting and Deals group, secured sixty
tickets which he then distributed to foodie group
members at a discounted rate.
I suppose that this being my first time ever
to attend probably added exponentially to my
enjoyment, just as I’m sure some veteran foodies
who’ve been many times before may describe it
as “meh.” The key is to get there early (I planned
to, then life got in the way) because it does get
crowded between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. Almost like
Christmas-shopping-at-the-mall crowded.
Another important factor: eat a smaller than
usual lunch, preferably earlier than you’re used
to, if you’re even thinking about sampling everything there. Or just skip lunch altogether.
By my count, there were some thirty-three or
so restaurants participating this year, which is
a drop from the fifty-nine the Woodlands Area
Chamber of Commerce claims participated
last year. I’m not including businesses such as
Woodforest Golf Club or Silverado Assisted Living; while they were serving food at the event,
they’re by no means restaurants. Most of the
restaurants were part of local or national chains
(i.e. Ruggles Green or Buca di Beppo), and there
were a handful of independent, local restaurateurs (i.e. Schilleci’s New Orleans Kitchen),
also referred to as “mom and pops” in the food
groups.
By far my favorite of the night was America’s
for their Paella and Tres Leches. The paella
was perfectly cooked (no easy feat when you’re
cooking a large amount of rice that then has to
sit and hold). The flavors were spot on with just
enough cayenne kick to give it some oomph,
and it included pieces of bacon-wrapped quail, a
welcome addition that put it way over the top.
One of my dining companions, Rachel, told me
that their Tres Leches was the best in town, and
my first bite confirmed it. Wet, sweet and creamy
(but not overly so), it had a spongy, cornbreadlike texture that is the hallmark of a good Tres
Leches and allows it to soak up the three milks
without becoming soggy. The topping was extra
rich and creamy as well, and tasted like a cross
between whipped cream and buttercream frosting. Hands down the best Tres Leches I’ve ever
had.
Other restaurants I favored were Schilleci’s
New Orleans Kitchen for their Shrimp and
Crawfish Creole and their Bread Pudding with a
warm Pecan Praline Sauce; Morton’s Grille for
their Asian-inspired Tuna Poke Nacho with Avocado and their Braised Beef Short Rib Sandwich;
Refuge Bar & Bistro for their Cheddar Poblano
Soup and their Prosciutto Bruschetta; and Hello
Taco for their Carnitas and Carne Asada Tacos
and their Marilyn’s Famous Chocolate Chip
Cake.
Surprisingly enough, the restaurant chosen as
the 2015 People’s Choice Winner received poor
marks from the foodies with whom I spoke and
in multiple comments I read in the Facebook
food groups. Bob’s Steak and Chop House
served a Prime Filet Mignon Crostino with a
Horseradish Cream Sauce, and several people
said the meat was overcooked and the crostini
were stale. I didn’t try Bob’s myself (and I really
wished I would have now, given the controversy), but I can tell you that this is very puzzling Bob’s consistently receives rave reviews in both
food groups for the quality of their food. But
everyone has an off night now and then, right?
With all the new restaurants anticipated to be
opening in our community over the next twelve
months, hopefully Taste of the Town 2016 will
be the largest yet. As an avid foodie who loves to
cook and eat, I’m already looking forward to it. I
just hope that I can get there earlier next year.
And that I remember to skip lunch!
UNIVERSAL JOY
AWAKEN
YOUR JOY:
INCORPORATING MORE
JOY INTO EVERY DAY!
by Joy Winkler
had always been addicted to
achievement. I hungered for
the next accomplishment,
the next accolade to give me
a quick “fix” of happiness.
I worked my butt off to be
valedictorian of my high
school, head cheerleader,
and then obtain a B.S. in
Mechanical Engineering
from Rice University. I say
this not to brag, but quite the
opposite. All this just led to
my exhaustion and burnout, not the fulfillment and
satisfaction I so desperately
was seeking.
Deep down, I knew there
was more to life than the
“keeping up with the Joneses” rat race, and
this deep desire to experience more, to live
fully and powerfully, was what eventually
led me to yoga and the world of conscious
transformation. One of the beautiful things
about life is that all this scrambling to achieve
peace and fulfillment is designed to fail. At
some point, we realize it’s our birthright to
experience more than just fleeting glimpses
of happiness. It’s my desire to share with you
what I’ve learned the hard way and what’s
taken years to get through my thick skull
about letting go and choosing to experience
bliss and love right here, right now.
Would you like to be happier? Would you
like to live your life fully and passionately?
Who wouldn’t? At the end of the day, this is
all that any of us want. But we’re such funny
creatures: rather than just feeling happy now,
we delay that happiness, putting it off until the
day we’ve achieved this goal or that accomplishment, telling ourselves “once I finally
get this job, this relationship, once I lose ten
pounds, then I can be happy.” But take it from
me, someone who has spent a good portion
of her life compulsively chasing the next and
bigger achievement, hoping that somehow that
achievement would finally bring fulfillment:
this is a delusion. And it’s not our fault; we’ve
just been trained backwards. We end up living
our lives just chasing our tails in search of
how to achieve this elusive contentment, and
never allowing ourselves to enjoy where we
are.
Now please remember that this is not our
fault; we’ve just been trained backwards. My
focus is to share and explore ways that we can
retrain ourselves. In the coming weeks, I’ll
be sharing and exploring ways that we can
all wake up to feeling truly happy and really
fulfilled on a visceral level. I hope you’ll join
me on this journey as together we discover
how to awaken to experiencing joy in each
and every day.
For the past fifteen years I have been a yoga
instructor, guiding thousands of my students
through yoga poses, breathing techniques, and
meditation practices – all designed to help
them release stress and tension held in their
bodies. I have witnessed students making
profound changes in their bodies and in their
lives, truly amazing results. But in the spirit
of full disclosure, I really think the person
who has transformed and benefited the most
is me, and not at all in the ways had I thought
yoga would transform me when I first started
down this journey. You see, my entire life, I

LE PAM’S HOUSE
OF CREOLE BRINGS
LOUISIANA ZING TO
NORTH HOUSTON
The first time that I walked in to Le Pam’s
House of Creole, I was greeted by the most
welcoming lady (owner and chef Pamela
Graham). I took a few steps forward and she
could tell it was my first time there. She gave
me a sample of her Gumbo and I was instantly
glad I decided to walk in. I knew I had found
“flavor town!”. Pam instantly makes you feel
like you are in her house and you are a friend
or family that has come for her authentic New
Orleans creole/Cajun cooking. In the
front is a steam table
containing today’s
entrées and sides.
The menu board
above the steam
table has some of Le
Pam’s regular madeto-order dishes, like
the best Po-Boy I
have had in a very
long time with bread
shipped in from
New Orleans. The
shrimp are so fresh
I swear they jumped
out of the ocean, peeled themselves in the air.
Landed in her wonderfully seasoned batter
and asked Pam to fry them up. These are not
tiny shrimp like other po-boys I have had. I
have told many of our area foodies and friends
about Le Pam’s House
of Creole and most of
them are hooked after
one visit. Most of them
so far agree with me that
Pam’s personality is so
great and if a personality
has to match someone’s
cooking, this is a match
made in heaven. Both
Pam and her cooking are
a little bit spicy, a lot enNick Rama joyable and as welcoming as New Orleans.
I sat down with Pam and had to know how
she came up with this wonderful food with a

Lambert & Stamp
R 120 min Documentary
Aspiring filmmakers Chris Stamp and Kit Lambert set out
to find a subject for their underground movie, one that
will reflect the way it feels to be young and dissatisfied
in postwar London. This unlikely partnership of two men
from vastly different backgrounds was inspired by the
burgeoning youth culture of the early 1960s. Lambert and
Stamp searched for months and finally found in a band
called the High Numbers a rebellious restlessness that
was just what they were looking for. Abandoning their
plans to make a film, they instead decided to mentor and
manage this group, which evolved into the iconic band
known as the Who. The result was rock ‘n’ roll history.

Nick: What made you decide to open a restaurant in Houston, TX (btw, I am so glad
it’s on the north side)
Chef Pam: After extensive research Houston,
Texas was the obvious choice both economically and an opportunity to introduce Houstonians to Original New Orleans Cuisine.
Nick: Every Sunday you have something
called “Sunday Dinner”. Tell our readers
what that is exactly.
Chef Pam: Every Sunday we went to church
and always ended up at my Grandmother’s
house for Sunday dinner. It is a tradition that I
want to share with everyone I come in contact
with.
Nick: Judging by your welcoming personality, I can tell that customer service is very
important to you. What sets you apart from
the other chain Cajun/Creole places?
Chef Pam: First I am not a chain or a restaurant. I am your home away from home, and I
greet everyone as a part of my family.
Nick: After tasting your Bread Pudding
with VSOP Brandy Sauce and Cobblers,
you can bake too. Are these family recipes
or did you make them up yourself?
Chef Pam: Every item on my menu including
Nick: I have already talked about the amazing freshness of your Shrimp, but I would
love to know where your seafood comes
from?
Chef Pam: This is my only advantage being
a small business and I choose not to disclose
who my resources are. Just know that I am
always striving to provide my family with the
highest quality ingredients.
Nick: Speaking of freshness, do you cook
everything from scratch? Also why do you
choose to get your bread from Louisiana?
Chef Pam: Yes of course I do. There is nothing to compare to New Orleans French Bread.
The soft buttery crust and light airy bread
make a Po Boy what we know it to be, there is
no substitution for New Orleans Bread.

FAKE ASTROLOGY
GUARANTEED TO MESS WITH YOUR MIND,
ESPECIALLY IF YOU BELIEVE THIS DRIBBLE
by Chris Alvarez
Aries-(Mar. 21- April 20)- Aries, work it out this
week. You’ll need the discipline of a structured
day, a healthy meal and a good round of exercise.
What you are about to face next week beats a
meeting with the boss. That’s right, the in-laws.
No one bothered to tell them that you two
haven’t tied the knot yet, and now the game is
on.
Cancer-(June 22-July 22)- Cancer, Dust In The
Wind is not just a song by that 70’s band Kansas.
It’s also the way you handle conflict, disregarding
it and blowing it off. Well, tough it up buttercup.
Life did not promise you a seven course meal in
“Give Me All I Desire Without Working It Out”.
You have serious life lessons to learn. Class starts
today.
Taurus-(Apr. 21- May 21)- Taurus, you’re still
confused about the Chinese fortune cookie
that cancelled out the one you read last week.
Forgetaboutit. I don’t even know why those
things are in English anyway. I was never given
a fortune cookie when I visited China last month.
I think it’s because the Chinese are aware of the
con. You should be too.
Leo-(July 23-Aug 22)- Leo, let it be known
that no one, yes, no one can walk in and take
the computer you are using when you are at the
library. You need to build a strong reserve and
a good backbone. That’s probably why those
bullies downtown thought you were an easy pick
when they grabbed your laptop and ran. By the
way, it would serve you well not to keep certain
things on your machine. Not that it’s illegal, but
your girlfriend certainly should not find out.
Gemini-(May 22-June 21)- Gemini, let’s face it.
You’re bored. You’ve slacked off and decided to
take a long trip and not tell anyone where you
are going. Maybe it’s because you have no idea
where you are going, yourself? Kind of like the
life you are living. Get a clue little shrew and
make a plan Stan.
Virgo-(Aug. 23 -Sept. 23)- Virgo, you should quit
reading these other horoscopes and pay attention
to this fake astrology reading that was meant for
you. As it is, you are going to purposely live life
pretending to be an Aquarius since you thought
