As a long-term “transplant” to Duluth, I cansay that the feature of the city I have mostappreciated is the natural beauty it lies within.Lake Superior and the northern forests are hardto beat. In addition, the City of Duluth ownsand maintains 11,862 acres of parks, trails andother “green spaces”. According to Mayor  Ness, we have the most green space per capitaof any city in the United States. Incidentally,the term “green space” is not new; it has been inuse at least since the early 1900’s.

The City of Duluth’s website lists 131 parks.The most well known parks within the Hillsider’sreadership are, of course, Lincoln Park, Chester Creek, Chester Bowl, Central Hillside Park,Portland Square, the Rose Garden, Enger Park and Twin Ponds, and – recently in the newsabout the mural controversy – Cascade Park. In1910, Cascade Square, Chester Park, LincolnPark and Portland Square were already wellestablished in the city’s park system.

Many early Duluthians can be credited for our   park system. Among them is Judge ClarenceP. Magney, who became mayor of Duluth in

1917. During his time in ofce he acquired1,433 acres of parkland for the city and hewas also responsible for the most progressiveenvironmental decisions ever made by the city, before or since.

The community arts and parks programsthat receive support and funding, likethis “Unity in the Community” projectgo forward due to efforts made by localcommunity members and plenty of kidswith hands covered in colorful paint.

Many local community membersinvolved with this project requested permission for the arts and park project andreceived the go-ahead from area agencies

and boards. This project, and others likeit, have engaged neighborhood youth andadults to create art for themselves and their neighbors.

Creativity and pride went into the group  pictures that made up the initial art for the project. The organizers hoped that the project would have been nished before thechildren involved with the mural needed to

head back to school.There were some neighbors in the area

that voiced concern about the apperanceof the end mural and the project wasstopped. Through discussion and livelydebate, these questions were answered incommunity meetings and brushes weredipped in paint once again.  Now the project is much further along

and neighbors are able to see more of thecompleted work with appreciation for the time, energy and talent in the mural.

A celebration is planned for “Unity in theCommunity” mural at Cascade Park onOct. 15, 2011 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

There are still decisions that need to bemade about the murals future, the way itwill look and if it will be allowed to remain.For now, those involved with the project plan to celebrate the work and creativity inthe Hillside community.

Perspectives From Lincoln Park Citizen Patrol

B Pa Klsd

At a recent Lincoln Park CitizenPatrol meeting guests soughtadvice and support for troublethey were experiencing fromunruly tenants at a rental propertyin our district. Short term trafcto the residence at all hours of the day and night, disturbances,ghts and threatening behavior were regular occurrences. Asour new friends recounted theincidents that forced them tocall 911 they were reduced totears. Members in attendance  politely and sympatheticallylistened and then offered adviceon how to use the law to regaincontrol of their neighborhood.Some offered help in the form of  patrols as an extra presence in thearea. There is safety in numbers

and when people band together 

to develop strategies to combat a  problem their collective resolve

strengthens. Our Lincoln Park Citizen Patrol group has provideda place for residents to gather to express their concerns aboutquality of life issues such asgarbage and derelict properties tocrime issues that if left uncheckedcan ruin a community.

Over the years as lawenforcement has identied atrouble spot we have gotten our members out either walking or driving through the area to sendthe message that we are unitedwith the neighbors and there tosupport them against those who

are not neighborly. Our distinctivecar ags announce our patrol aswe roll through an area. Recentlywe have we have erected brightyellow 24 inch by 24 inch signsaround our district which warn  people intent on breaking thelaw that the partnership betweenthe Duluth Police Departmentand the Lincoln Park CitizenPatrol is organized. These new“calling cards” should be seen asan invitation to the law abidingto join the effort by calling911 when anything suspiciousor threatening is witnessed.Burglars, car-prowlers and

vandals have been thwarted

  by observant individuals whoquickly call 911 with a location

and a description of a suspect.For more information about how

to organize a group of concernedneighbors, to share a concernabout a neighborhood issue or to be routed to a Community PoliceOfcer, please call our ofce:218-730-5565. Our ofce hoursare M-W-F from 11:00 am to 1  pm. Our location is: 2012 WestSuperior Street. We serve the  public outside of our district so  please call with non-emergencyquestions or concerns.

 A bit of history was found as city workers tore up the bricks down the cen-ter of W. Superior Street and dug a trench: They found the rotted railroadties of the former trolley that ran down the center of Superior Street. Thephoto shows how rotted they have become. Apparently they were never

removed when the trolley was put out of service and the street resurfaced.The last trolley rode on these tracks on 1957, after serving the communityfor 26 years. These trolleys were replaced by the less expensive buses.

Sometimes friends make a future together in a business. Cake Occasions at 2632 W. 3 rd Street inDuluth is the result of such a happening. Amber Grifth and Lora Rooni were friends beforeAmber gave Lora a fully paid registration in acake-making class at Michael’s in Stone RidgeMall. Lora brought her cakes from class to

Amber’s home to see. Then they took the plunge – they made a wedding cake together. The classand creativity so intensely inspired them thatthey decided to form a business together. Theynow specialize in wedding, graduation, carved, bridal showers, and birthday cakes.

Their specialty cakes are made to order for ANY Occasion. Their cakes are made with “realingredients... nothing from a can or shipped ina bucket.” Their cakes are “fresh, moist, anddelicious” (http://www.cakeoccasions.us).

Would you care to have a key lime, coconut, or chocolate cake, amongst others? Thus far, their most popular cake has been Red Velvet, a six-inchcake with a cheesecake as the center. It consists

of three layers of two inches of cheesecakeeach. When it coms to llings, people havetheir favorites. However, with Cake Occasions  people have the freedom to experiment withsuch llings as Mascarpone Kahlua, RaspberryChocolate Ganache, Whipped RaspberryCream, and many others. You’re not done yetwith the delicious avors. (No one is countingcalories when these selections are made. Thelook and taste are important.) From the manychoices of icings and frostings you can stretchyour imagination and taste buds into CrustingCream Cheese, Smoother Chocolate Butter Cream, Chocolate Ganache, and others.

Amber and Lori love to tier and layer cakes.

In August 2011 Living North awarded them

winners of the Professional Division for a cakefor which the center section alone consisted of ve layers. There were two other sections. It is beautifully described below:

Their three-tier cake was comprised of threedifferent avors of cake. The base layer was acoconut cake with mango lling, topped withcoconut buttercream. Next came a tuxedo cake(vanilla cake on top, chocolate on bottom)

separated by a chocolate raspberry ganache.The top layer was red velvet with vanilla buttercream.

If it sounds delicious, let us assure you that itwas. The judges loved the moist, rich cake bodyand the llings were unique and obviously madewith fresh ingredients. The taste wasn’t all theonly [sic] thing that impressed the judges.

The pair decorated the cake with green andwhite fondant. The middle layer had hand- painted orchids adorning the white fondant andgumpaste orchids dotted the entire creation. Thedegree of difculty in creating the total packagecertainly gained it some points with the judges.(Rebecca Osterlund, Living North, p. 1, n.d.)

The degree of difculty is reected in the factthat it took them one week to make the cake.The orchids were extremely difcult to makeand, thus, took most of the week to do.

Of their specialty cakes Spider Man; Thomas,the Train Man; and Vintage Golf Bag have  become people’s favorites (See http://www.cakeoccasions.us). Do you have a special person with a special hobby or interest in your life, and would you like to express enthusiasmfor that hobby or interest? Amber and Lora canhelp you.

They make an effort to remain in contact withtheir customers. One of their favorite ways of doing so is through their Facebook. Different

occasions have different needs, but the memory

of the rst cake or set of cupcakes remains toguide the customers to Lora and Amber again.

They are open by appointment only. If you would like to stop by, please feel free togive either one of them a call. Call Lora at218.428.3792 or Amber 218.348.2136 toschedule your meeting. If the sign is outside andon the sidewalk, feel free to come inside.

If you want to sit for a while outside, therobin-egg blue bench that matches the awningsis a beauti-ful place to rest. They have found thislocation to be working well for both them andtheir customers. It is on a busy street, but the parking is ample. Too, it is close to the businessdistrict of Lincoln Park so that working peoplecan make their appointments before or after work or during their noon hours.

Eileen Brown moved her businessto 320 West Superior Street in Duluthabout a year ago and has been morethan busy ever since she made thatdecision. Although she has been in the

 pastry business for more about 15 years,her time on West Superior Street has  been exhilarating. Her experience in

cake-making covers most of her life;however, for the past 11 or 12 years shehas been making them professionally.Her profession started as a ‘joke.’ One

of her friends was being married andhired a professional baker to make

her wedding cake. Eileen asked her friend why she was not asked to dothe task. Her friend immediatelyasked her if she had ever baked awedding cake. Of course, Eileen

said, “No.” Nevertheless, her friend took a chance with

Eileen and her sincerityin wanting to do it for her. Since then Eileenhas been “buried in

  buttercream and sugar”(Eileen Brown, “HOWSWEET IT IS!,” n.d.)

Her inspiration comes from the endless

 possibilities for creativity. Each cake isunique to t the customer’s desires, taste,and occasion. She uses only high qualityingredients and, thus, makes them fromscratch. Her newest cakes are RosePetal, Mexican Chocolate (cinnamonand chocolate), and RaspberryChocolate. However, would you care totry Buttermilk Chocolate with Orange,Gianduja Chocolate with Ganache, Pear Lavender, Honey Vanilla Bean, or EarlyGrey Chocolate Mousse amongst over 60 cake avors from which to choose.Of course, the there’s more pleasureyet to come. You must now select the

lling. Would you care for BavarianCream with Whipped Cream, BelliniChampagne Raspberry, RaspberryCustard, Cognac and Apricot Preservers,Orange Whipped Cream, or StrawberriesSoaked in Grand Marnier, amongst over 50 llings from which to choose. Do youwant a special shape? Eileen will shapeit for you and the occasion. How manytiers do you want? Eileen will build asmany tiers as the substance will support.If you cannot decide, she will give youfree consultations. For those coupleswho order a wedding cake she requeststhat they call her again in a year so that

she can make a free rst-anniversary

cake for them. She does attempt to keepcontact with her customers.

Her refrigerators look full of fullyor partially prepared orders; thus, her appointment calendar must be clutteredwith opportunities to be creative in cakeartistry.

A visit to her URL (www.howsweetitiscakes.com) is a must. Thereyou can nd her gallery of wedding cakes,grooms cakes, bridal cakes, sculptedcakes, Duluth Bridal Show cakes, andother cakes literally by the hundreds.Other pages on the site include breads,cake llings, cake avors, deli menu,

holiday bake list, pies, and testimonials.She also makes something of the largestcupcakes in Duluth. Would you care tohave a chocolate cream, apple lavender,or orange cream pie, amongst others?People working downtown patronizeher deli for soup and/or sandwich,vegetables, or just meats or cheese with bread during their workdays.

It is the best of locations for busy  people working downtown and for Eileen. It is easy to stop at her shop to pick up an order before or after work or during a noon hour.

You will nd that Kat Semborski, manager of Ragstock, frequently uses the phrase “a

lot of …” when she references the stock inRagstock at 9 W. Superior St. in Duluth. She isnot exaggerating. As you walk in the store, youwill realize that that phraseology is an accuratedescription of the large variety offered tocustomers. Another phrase she frequently usesin reference to that stock is “for everyone.” Yes,at rst, you will think that it caters to collegestudents of ages 18 to 26 years. As you continueto browse, you will notice that the stock is for everyone – of all ages, with different needs andinterests, of both genders and with excitementand pleasure in their hearts and minds. Ragstock has a wide variety of items that people cannotnd anywhere else. “Lots of costumes…, lots

of basics…, lots of jackets…, lots of thermos…,lots of vintage, and lots of fashion [specialty]items,” Semborski said. Customers can nd both new and used items at Ragstock.

Mike Finn, born and raised in Superior, WI but now living in Minneapolis, MN, owns theRagstock stores throughout the Midwest. In1989, he opened the rst Ragstock store inDuluth at 7 West Superior St.. He decided in2011 to move the store in Duluth, but keep iton West Superior Street because it is an easylocation to nd and is in a very busy part of Citythat has the center of the DTA bus service. Hewanted to keep Ragstock’s customer base butyet offer things and experiences not found inMiller Mall. It is in an ideal location – close torestaurants and nightly entertainment. It is opento workers in the downtown area that use their noon hour or after-work hours to shop – withouthaving to go to Miller Mall. It is a central pointfor everyone – for the workers in the downtownarea, tourists shopping and staying at CanalPark, and local people in the Hillside. As Katsaid, “We want to keep the integrity of the

downtown, the heart of the City.”They not only want to keep the integrity of 

Duluth’s downtown but also want to keep the

character of the building that they inhabit. InRagstock, you will nd the brick walls and tinceiling of the original building. Where other walls are used, Kat chose a warm, gentle orange paint, which will feel particularly good to seeduring a January blizzard or deep freeze.

When you are downtown to work or for acup of coffee, meal, or entertainment, stop atRagstock to see a “lot of” stock with a great

variety and to especially meet Kat, a very personable store manager.

Ragstock is open Monday through Friday

from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturday from10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Sunday from 11:00a.m. to 6:00 p.m

From October 13, 2011 through October 31,2011 Ragstock will have extended hours for theHalloween season: Monday through Sundayfrom 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. with associatesavailable to help you select your costumes.

F. Rodney Paine was appointed

as manager of the city of Duluth’s park department in December 1925.At the time of Paine’s appointment,S. F. Snively, another well knownDuluth name, was mayor of Duluth. This was a time in historywhen the city had been acquiring  park property for 70 years. Mostof the city’s holdings in 1925,which totaled approximately 2,500acres, were acquired in the early1920’s. At that point, over 800acres of this had been donated byits loyal citizens, while they werestill living. Some examples of thisgenerosity are B. J. Enger, whogave $50,000 cash for the purchaseof 320 acres which became Enger Park, Congdon Park, 40 acres,given by C. A. Congdon, ThomasA. Merritt’s gift of four 40 acre parks, a 30 acre park and a 20 acre park in memorial to his prominentuncles, and the gift of 70 acres of   park land on the Lester River byMr. and Mrs. W. M. Prindle.

The St. Louis County HistoricalSociety was the fortunate recipientof a large donation of artifactsand archival material from thePaine-Williams family in early

2010. Paine was born in Duluthin 1889 and graduated fromPrinceton University in 1912.He also graduated from the Yale

Forest School in 1914. Thisinvolved considerable time spentin the eld – in the Adirondacks,northeastern Pennsylvania,and Mississippi and Louisiana.His on–the-job education alsoincluded observation of logging,growth studies, re protection,topographical mapping, andhandling crews, in California’sredwood forests, Oregon,Idaho, Montana, many places inMinnesota, and New Mexico, withthe U. S. Engineers. The Societyhas many photographs of Paine’s

adventures with the NationalForest Service in Montana andIdaho, as well as detailed personal  photojournalistic accounts of histrips in many other parts of thecountry and world.

Rodney Paine was veryconcerned with the trees of Duluthand the establishment of a treenursery, which was eventuallyestablished in Fond du Lac. Paine,while superintendent of Jay CookeState Park (3,400 acres) andSuperintendent of Parks of Duluth(over 2,500 acres of natural forest

  park) supervised the planting of 

some 150,000 trees from seedlingsto trees ten inches in diameter. Healso worked as the Superintendentof the Jay Cook State Park from

1917 – 1931, with a leave of absence during WWI. Paine spentmost of his life in Duluth.

I found it interesting that LincolnPark, 48 acres but seeminglylarger because of its lengthy layoutalong Miller Creek from Skyline  parkway to West 3rd Street, has  been in existence since 1890,when it was called Gareld Park.Horse-drawn rides along SkylineParkway, and a dance hall weresome of its early features. Then,as now, it was a popular placewith neighborhood residents, with

children attracted to its wading  pool and roller-skating rink. Therink and dance hall burned down,it is believed, in the 1920’s. In1933 the large, iconic, eldstone  pavilion was built by the WPAcrews, used for concerts, plays and political campaign speeches.

There are also many little known,some virtually hidden, parks inDuluth. Some of them are withinthe Hillsider’s area. For example,when you’re on Skyline, justwest of 29th Avenue West, you’reactually in Lyman Park, 2 ¾ acres

surrounding the Drive. Another 

little known park is Central Park,an extremely rocky and rugged 31acres just above Point of Rocks at1st Street from 14th to 17th Avenues

West, with a spectacular view.I’d like to close this small piece

on our city’s beautiful parks witha plea for all of the Hillsider’sreaders who use and value them tolet Mayor Ness and every member of the City Council know this, asthey begin wrangling with the  proposed budgets. Proposed cutsto the park system, which I, andmany of you, consider to be anessential service for our quality of life, will result in poor maintenanceand deterioration.

Anyone interested in learningmore about the Paine-Williamsfamily collection should contactour Collections Manager, MilissaBrooks-Ojibway at [email protected] or DanHartman (yes, also the CityCouncilor) at [email protected].

While you are seated in a Hillside restaurantenjoying a ne meal and beverage, or waitingfor your laundry, take a moment to ponder theimpossible. If the sun were to stop shining atthis instant, how long would we have until itslight went out? This is a question that has been pondered by many a great mind. Around the year 300 B.C., Aristotle thought that the sun was avery concentrated disc of re that existed justabove the clouds. He did not know what causedthe re, but believed it had some kind of spirit thatinuenced man. Then around the year 100A.D.,Ptolemy, a Roman astronomer who lived inAlexandria, Egypt thought that the sun wasabout 12 inches across and moved its way fromeast to west during the day and tunneled its way back to the east at night. This kind of thinkingwent on until the time of Galileo in 1620 and his

telescopic studies of the sun. He determined thatthe sun was very far away and that our planetand all of the other planets orbited the sun. He  believed that the sun was at the center of thesolar system, just as Copernicus had theorizedin 1560. In the year 1700, Sir Isaac Newtonthought the light from the sun would extinguishimmediately if it went out at this instant.

Eventually it was Albert Einstein in the early1900’s who pondered this question for manyyears. He used information from astronomersto determine the distance to the sun and nallyfound the answer after 10 years of research. Hecalculated that the sun was 93 million milesaway and it would take eight and a half minutes

for its light to reach us, as light travels at 186,000miles per second.

Einstein contemplated that if the suns lightdid suddenly disappear, the suns gravity wouldinstantly be vanished as well, and both wouldreach the earth at the same amount of time. Thus,if the sun went out, the earth would be suddenlydark, there would not be any moonlight, nor anylight from the planets, because they reect lightfrom the sun. The stars, however would continueto shine, as they are light years away from thesun.

 Now if the sun did disappear, then the earthwould be sent on a straight line path into deepinterstellar space. It would no longer orbit thesun. It would be loosed from the suns gravityand on its own. It is possible that it could collide

with the moon, if the moon was in the rightorientation, though this would be extremely rare.The earth could also collide with other planets,  but there is a great deal of space between the planets.

While the earth would continue to rotate, itwould immediately start to cool off and shed itsatmosphere as it evaporated into outer space. Inabout 48 hours all of life on earth would beginto feel the bitter minus 450 degree temperaturesof deep space. The earth itself would be ‘warm’for about one week, but eventually everythingwould freeze up. There would be no survivors of this catastrophe, not even sea creatures such asthe whales. No matter what actions were taken,

nobody would live through this, except thoselucky (or unlucky) few who would be able to board a spacecraft that launched into space. Butthat would be a very difcult journey, becauseit would take about 150,000 years to get to thenearest star, using modern technology. Theymost likely would suffer the same fate as the rest.

If the sun went out, every thing in the solar system would cease and freeze up. The gasgiant planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune would freeze solid. Sure, there would bea few diehard creatures holed up in air suppliedcontainers and perhaps heated with nuclear  power. But they would ultimately be starved of air, food and heat and suffer the same fate.

So when you think of how much importanceyou put on your daily actions, such as your alarmclock sounding, taking a hot shower, shaving or   putting on make up, hearing your car starting,eating a nice breakfast, making Facebook connections etc, etc, you can see that they palecompared to the importance of the sun.

And then things can get even more profound.  No matter how hard anybody prayed, nor whatever divinity they prayed too, if the sunwent out, the end of the world would come. Allof the foods we love to eat, the TV we love to

watch, the laughter we enjoy, the merry acts we pursue would soon stop forever.

This makes one wonder how well weunderstand the importance of the sun and howlittle credit we give to it. We humans tend to

think in terms of human centric thinking. Wethink that this world is here for our use. We takefor granted the sun’s rising and setting. We think that a higher power would somehow take careof us. But the truth is, we are at the mercy of thecosmos, if it did do such a thing.

The other interesting point is that we cansurvive without so many things, so many ‘higher   powers’ even without love, but we positivelycannot survive without the sun. We can eliminateso many of our human needs, go without foodfor many days, deny our wants and desires, buteliminate the sun, and we are nished.

This then brings us to the amazing fact thatancient man worshipped the sun as a god.

Almost every culture did this. The Egyptiansworshipped Ra, the Mexicans had Quetzacoatal,the native Americans had sun gods, the Persianshad Mithra, the Jews had Psalm 84:11, (The Lordis a sun), the Phoenicians had Baal, the GreeksHelios, the Romans Apollo, the Druids Bel, theChristians the light of the world and India hasSurya.

A cynical mind might question why bring thisup if it would never happen. One might further suggest not talking about such a thing as this.Yet we humans are capable of evaluating andunderstanding so many facets about life, andespecially those things which are hard to fathom,as they can lead us to new ways of thinking and

appreciating.Finally, do not be alarmed, the sun will not

disappear in our lifetime. It will go on shiningfor another 5 billion years. Then it will swellup, engulf the earth and puff off its outer shell,leaving behind only a white dwarf star the size of the earth. By then, all signs of anything humanwill have long disappeared.

 Now, go on out into the bright sunshine andsay hello to a stranger.

Lady Ocalat’s AstrologyB Lad oala

That magical burnt orange timeof year is here again. Time for hotcider and roaring res and maybe

a stroll in the woods to take in thewonder of nature at this precious, but eeting time of year.

Time, too, for all of you to takestock of your supplies, and lay in agood plenty of rewood if the needis there.

Just as nature prepares for thecoming winter, so do we, internally,take stock of where we are andwhere we have been in our lives.

The full Moon in Aries on the 11th this month is sometimes calledthe Blood Moon. It is the divineimpulse that inspires creativity.

This Moon highlights individualityand working on developing your skills and talents.

Happy Halloween and Samhainto everyone. This time of year marks the passage of the year, andremembering and honoring thosethat have passed during the year and years before.

This is the time to clean thegraves of your ancestors and makeright any debts you may still owe.

ARIES (April 20-May 20)The Full Moon is in Aries this

month…focusing on your personal

mission in life. There’s a lot to  be said for internal restructuring.You haven’t been too happy withyourself lately, so DO somethingabout it. If anyone can revampthemselves, it’s you! Try a newhairstyle or take up a daily walk.Your energy has been a little low, but that will change!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Your love of good food is starting

to show! You have been a littleself-indulgent lately, and feelinga bit guilty about it afterwards,which makes you grumpy….

not your usual self. How aboutthrowing a party for your friends?You’ll secretly say it’s for them, but any excuse for yourself, right?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)You possess an always youthful

charm; something your friendsand family LOVE about you.Keep your versatile and logical

mind busy this month, or you risk applying it to cunning and fraud.Saturday the 15th should proveinteresting for you…a day whereyou will be juggling way moretasks than usual!

CANCER (June 21-July 22)Your focus will be on home and

family and the like. This should be the year of your big Holiday gettogether. Quit putting it off! Youlove to entertain and bring out allthe stops, so dive in head rst andwatch how everyone responds.You hate to throw out anything,

 but maybe a trip to Goodwill is inorder. Try to simplify your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22)Instead of causing a scene

for the attention you crave, andsecretly feel you deserve, howabout externalizing your air for drama in more positive ways…new clothes, spoiling friends,organizing trips, etc.. Leos spendlike crazy, so watch your wallet!

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22)You risk building up a

  psychological barrier which will

make you seem stand-ofsh. Work on proper balance by doing work with others, and try being a better friend to those in your inner circle.Your natural personality can becharming, and this Fall should  prove eventful in the LOVEdepartment.

LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22)Happy Birthday, Libra!You may appear lazy, because

you haven’t made your mind upyet! What looks like inactivityto those around you is merely a pause between one activity and the

next! This is the time to ask for that raise from your boss, becauseyour charm is at an all-time high.Stop saying, “It’s not fair!” You

are over using the phrase, andfrankly nothing is ever fair enoughfor you!

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21)Happy Birthday, Scorpio!

You have a great inner strengththat causes you to have enormousquantities of endurance! You will battle endlessly to win. The Eaglewas sometimes used as a symbolfor your sign…remember themovie “Hancock”? The Eagleattacked its prey, but was able tosoar away, so to speak. Try stayingawhile in one place, and learnto forgive those you think haveslighted you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21)You are the most claustrophobic

sign in the zodiac! Get out on theopen road this month. You love todrive, don’t you? Hitting the roadaround the 29th or 30th of this monthwill satisfy your cravings to be afree spirit. You certainly aren’t theworrying king, and sometimes youcan be the biggest optimist in thegroup….not a bad trait if you ask me!

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19)You are such a great business

  person at heart! Try changing  jobs or branching out into a neweld. If you don’t feel you are in

your correct setting, change now before too much time passes. Your great sense of humor will see youthrough it all…maybe a stand-upcomic job? Just kidding!

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18)You really don’t care what others

think, do you? Well, in your defense, you usually are ahead of your time. What people interpretas broadmindedness is usually justindifference on your part. You loveit when people ask your opinion, but typically make them suffer as aresult. You have an aloof glamour 

that is fascinating and dynamic, but not warm and endearing.

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20)You need a hero! The need

to identify with a source of inspiration is critical to you.Sometimes this is your lover, boss,

or spiritual advisor. In any case,don’t forget you can be your ownhero and rise above the fears and  presumed difculties life presentsyou. It seems you are easilyconfused lately. Don’t worry! Thiswill pass as you come to realizethe enormous potential you holdinside of you!

REMEMBER Time passes slowly when we are

young, but as we grow older thedays and months and years speed by, almost in a blink.

Make sure to enjoy these

 beautiful Autumn days, so eetingand so amazing.

People travel miles to see the bounty of nature we may take for granted. The Big Lake Superior and the beautiful maples and oaksand poplars.

Prepare your home for winter, prepare yourself for the dark timeof the year.
