The sky hasn’t fallen FALL MEANS FORD SUV SEASON! on city chickens yet BY BILL STICKELS III [email protected] The popularity of raising chickens as pets and/or a natural food source has increased to an all-time high. Because of this increased interest, several res- idents are taking yet another stab at getting the City of Cambridge to change its ordinance to allow for the keeping of chickens on properties within city limits. And while the previous two attempts in the past fi ve years both laid an egg, this plan appears to have the best chance of hatching. During the July 20 city council meeting, the coun- cil heard from Diane Schultz, who spoke for those who wanted to be able to keep chickens, along with discussed the pros and cons of multiple options for how to possibly implement allowing for chickens. Community Development Specialist Carri Levitski told the council that since the last time the council was presented with this request, a number of cities that were surveyed about their own regulations have changed them, with all but fi ve of the 18 cities now allowing chickens under varying conditions. She added the Planning Commission discussed this lat- est request and was asking the council for direction BILL STICKELS III | COUNTY STAR on whether staff should go forward with creating an ordinance change or other possible action, or if the council didn’t wish to take the topic up altogether. Shake it all about In her presentation, Schultz told the council the Tricia of “Tricia and the Toonies” leads kids in a round of “The Hokey Pokey” at the conclusion of her performance at City benefi ts of raising chickens, dispelled some of the Center Mall on Tuesday, July 21.

  • Cast Bios Diane Neal
    ‘THIS MAGIC MOMENT’ CAST BIOS DIANE NEAL (Helena Harris) – Diane Neal is best known for her role on "Law and Order: SVU." She first appeared on the show in 2001 as a murderous villain in one of her very first acting jobs. Neal then reappeared, in classic "Law and Order" style, as the justice-driven ADA Casey Novak from 2003-2012. Since 2009 she has also recurred as Gibbs’ doppelganger, CGIS Special Agent Abigail Borin, on "NCIS" and for two seasons as Alison Holt on "Suits." Neal has also guest starred on a wide variety of other hit shows from "White Collar" to "30 Rock" and has appeared in numerous films and television movies. With over a decade of playing tough-as-nails good guys and bad guys, it comes as a surprise to many fans that Neal is also a stand up comic. Although difficult to book consistently while filming, for years she has made audiences laugh all over New York City and Los Angeles. She can routinely be seen at Stand Up New York, her home club, and Upright Citizen’s Brigade Los Angeles. She also enjoys appearing in the hip and hysterical storytelling show Don’t Tell My Mother produced by Nikki Levy. Neal was born in Alexandria, Virginia, moved to Littleton, Colorado at age eight, then to Oahu, Hawaii for college another eight years later. Thanks to her older sister, she started modeling and was fortunate enough to live and work in myriad countries in Asia and Europe. Neal landed in New York City, the city she still calls home and serendipitously found herself at the Atlantic Theater Company Acting School in 1999.

Ganz Deutschland leidet unter der Hit- ze. Wir auch! Die Tatsache, dass sich unser neues Büro direkt unter dem Dach befindet, macht es nicht gerade einfacher. Denn was wir hier an herrli- cher Aussicht gewonnen haben, das haben wir auch an Temperaturen zu gelegt: 29,5 Grad Celcius zeigte das Thermometer gestern als Tiefstwert an. Aber es hilft alles nichts – da müssen wir durch. Um uns das Ganze etwas erträglicher zu gestalten, fassen wir uns heute ganz kurz. Denn ab 30 Grad aufwärts bleiben die Finger bereits an der Tastatur kleben und die kleinen grauen Zellen funktionieren nur noch mit halber Kraft. Aber einen Grund zur (Vor)Freude gibt es immerhin: es sind gerade einmal drei Wochen, bis wir erwachsen werden. Will heissen: die LASER HOTLINE feiert in diesem Jahr ihren 18. Geburtstag! Wow – machen wir das tatsächlich schon so lange? Unglaublich wie schnell die Zeit ver- geht. Da passt dann auch wieder unser Leitspruch “So many movies – so little time!”. In diesem Sinne wünschen wir weiterhin fröhliches Schwitzen. Ihr Laser Hotline Team Falls Sie auf der Suche nach einem geeigneten „Party-Tape“ sein sollten, das bei handfestem Gemetzel stets die Lachmuskeln aktiviert und zusätzlich Ihre Heimkinoanlage zu Hochtouren auflaufen lässt, dann empfehlen wir die schwarze britische Komödie LESBIAN VAMPIRE KILLERS.
