GAME
For the more than 200 kids playing in the Acreage Tackle Football League, winning is a thing, but it’s far from the only thing. By RON HAYES Palms West Monthly
THE ACREAGE — Stop by the community park on this blue and sunny Saturday morning and you can’t miss them – The Acreage Tackle Football League. “Win Without Bragging. Lose Without Excuses.” Five divisions. Thirteen teams. Two hundred thirty boys 5 to 14 years old. And one girl. “I just wanted to play,” Amy Chung says, as if no more reason were required. She’s decked out in her shoulder pads, hugging a helmet under one arm, just another member of the JV Army team eager to play as soon as the Freshmen clear the field. You just wanted to play? “I started playing flag when I was 5,” she adds. “I wanted to play tackle when I was 7, but my parents said wait until you’re 9. I was really little back then.” She’s 14 now, a 9th grader at Seminole Ridge High School. Five feet, four inches tall, 114 pounds. “This is probably going to be my last year because the guys
are going to be bigger now, and I’m not really big,” she says, resigned. “I don’t want to get hurt.” For nearly a decade Amy Chung was big enough, and that’s a point of pride with the league. “There’s no weight limit here,” says Ron Flores, commissioner for the past two years. “Big, small, if you want to play, you can play.” They do make some creative assignments, however. “We’ve got a 10-year-old who weighs 250 pounds,” Flores says. “He plays tackle or guard, but we don’t let him run the ball. The heavier kids we make play the line, but we don’t exclude anyone.” Too big, too small, kids the other leagues turn away find their way to the Acreage league, and some come back. Flores first got involved as an assistant coach when his son, Danny, was 7. Now Flores is the commissioner and Danny’s 19 and a coach himself. “I’ve coached kids who are seniors in high school now, and some have signed college contracts,” Flores says proudly. “When some kid I coached comes back and says, ‘I just got signed,’ that makes it all worthwhile.” Founded on Nov. 22, 1998, the league is self-supporting and unaffiliated with the city or county. Parents pay $220 a season, which covers the cost SEE FOOTBALL / PAGE 11
Oktoberfest turns 40 this year – all the more reason to support the American German Club of the Palm Beaches and indulge in bratwurst, sauerkraut, schnitzel and – of course – a little beer. The Bavarian bash will unfold on the club’s 10-acre campus in the party pavilion and under a giant tent Oct. 11 through 13 and Oct. 18 through 20. More than 25,000 will attend. “We’re having a very exciting coming out this year for our 40th,” said Kurt Freiter, club president. “Some things are the same, and some things are going to be new.” Freiter initiated a Miss Oktoberfest pageant for 2013 and crowned Jessica Wittenbrink, of Wellington, and runner-up Birte Keays, of Boynton Beach, as this year’s ambassadors. The two women not only will promote the biggest fund-raiser of the year for the club but also will raise awareness about its cultural contributions. “We’re about being a serious partner in the community,” Freiter said. “We like to give back.” Club members support other local heritage festivals, open their facility to nonprofit groups planning events and donate to 16 charities annually. Proceeds from tickets sales and monetary contributions at Oktoberfest will support those and other endeavors. “Oktoberfest is not all about drinking beer,” Freiter said. “We’re very much a family-based, familyoriented, cultural club.” Freiter also boasts that a Huffington Post travel survey recently named Palm Beach County’s Oktoberfest the second-largest in the nation, following Cincinnati’s. “We were kind of surprised, ourselves,” Freiter said. “Right in our backyard.” After the Christmas tree, Oktoberfest is the most popular German custom the country has SEE OKTOBERFEST / PAGE 16

Census: Income is stagnant in Florida By MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press
ORLANDO — Household income remains stagnant in Florida almost five years from the start of the recession as the state’s largest cities rank at the bottom in income levels for the nation’s most populous metro areas, according to U.S. Census figures released Sept. 19. Florida’s median household income in 2012 of over $45,000 decreased slightly from the previous year, but the change was statistically insignificant. However, Florida’s median household income is down more than 11 percent from when it was $50,700 in 2000. Only seven other states had higher decreases in the past dozen years, the Census figures showed. Nationally, the median household income was
$51,371 in 2012. “This recovery is still a work in progress,” said Sean Snaith, an economist at the University of Central Florida. “It may be four and a quarter years old, but in many ways it’s still embryonic.” Even though Florida had some of the nation’s largest job gains in July, the unemployment rate was still 7.1 percent. The slack labor market creates little room to negotiate higher wages and consumers end up spending less money, Snaith said. Three Florida metro areas ranked at the bottom of the list for household income in the nation’s 25 most populous cities, including South Florida – made up of Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach – at $46,600. Those figures were unchanged from the previous year.

PB County Library System to build ‘Creation-Station’ with grant money
The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin counties has imparted a grant to the Friends of the Palm Beach County Library System for the “CreationStation” initiative. The money comes from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation Fund and will be used to develop a digital media lab and recording studio at the county’s main library on Summit Boulevard in West Palm Beach. The project, which will be completed early next year, will provide a space for residents to learn how to use the equipment for sound mixing, video sharing and podcasting – all free. Library staff members will receive training on the equipment and will offer public workshops on how to use it. “We’re very excited that, thanks to the generosity of the Community Foundation, the library will offer a place where community members can, at no cost, increase their digital literacy, create local content and have a platform to share their knowledge with the community,” said Elizabeth Locke, the Electronics Resources coordina-
Royal Palm Beach Commons, 1050 Royal Palm Beach Blvd., from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Shoppers will be supporting local growers and organic vendors. Live music will be part of the festivities.

Quantum House kicks off quarters campaign
Submitted by Rosarian Academy
Seventh and eighth grade student members of Rosarian Academy’s National Junior Honor Society recently prepared more than 300 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for distribution at St. Ann Place in West Palm Beach. Established in 2001 as the outreach center for St. Ann Catholic Church, St. Ann Place provides a variety of services to the poor and homeless in the area. For the last ten years, Rosarian Academy’s service organization has spent one Friday afternoon a month making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The school, in downtown West Palm Beach, has delivered nearly 15,000 sandwiches to help feed the homeless in Palm Beach County in the past decade.

E. coli contamination at Wellington watertreatment facility under control
Wellington Utility last month detected fecal matter in a well that supplies water to the village’s water-treatment facility and immediately isolated it from service. Officials said the well would stay offline until conditions are safe for its use. Groundwater tests at the utility’s other wells showed no bacteriological contamination and neither did drinking water at both the facility and in the distribution system. A boil-water was not issued. Bacterial contamination can result by the leaching of substances from the surface to the groundwater, as well as faulty
well pipes. The bacteria that was found, E. coli, indicates the presence of human or animal waste. E. coli can cause sudden illness and is dangerous for those with compromised immune systems. It causes such symptoms as cramps, diarrhea, headaches and nausea. For more information, call Bill Riebe at (561) 791-4000.

Discover 3 Simple Steps to Buy a Home For Less Money

NICE AND EASY by Ernie Zimmerman I ez@palmswestmonthly.com
Becoming head of one’s family tougher than it looks Sometimes being a leader has its obstacles. It seems Ernie’s biggest obstacle is getting his family to understand he’s the leader.
Y!
EV O C ER PE A LL Y N TO D D AY A !
I’ve now entered a new stage in my life. Because of the recent death of my Uncle Ben, I now find myself as the senior male in my ever-expanding family. Uncle Ben was my favorite uncle. Always kind to everyone,
and, of course, he ran the family very well. If one of our family members had a problem, Uncle Ben was the first person they’d turn to. He handled every problem presented to him very well. He left me some very big
shoes to fill, but I think I am up to the challenge. I don’t think it will be easy being head of my family, but I’ll give it my best shot. Some of my family members are already calling me the king. I told them
his head on a sharp object. Unfortunately, he never recovered from his head injury. Yes, I have some very big shoes to fill. But I’ve already informed my family that I’m accepting this job with great pride. I’ve also laid down some ground rules. I’ve informed my family that any problem – no matter how small or big – can be presented to me. They also know that no calls after 9 p.m. or before 9 a.m. will be accepted. After all, I still need my beauty sleep. And no calls on Sundays during football season. Other than these minor rules, my door and heart will be open to my family members – or anyone else. So far, nobody has violated these rules. In fact, so far it appears no one in my family has – except me – accepted me as their leader. Oh well. It’s their loss, not mine. If that remains the case I’ll just make my way back to Facebook. I’m very well accepted there. Ernie Zimmerman, a retired New York City police officer and Vietnam veteran, walks at least three miles a day and takes life nice and easy in Wellington, where he and his wife Sharon have lived for more than 28 years.

they will never have to kiss my feet – maybe my hands – but never my feet. I kind of like being the senior male in my family, but the one word I’m having trouble with is “senior.” Am I really a senior? According to my family I am. I just hope I can hold my title for a very long time. The only way one can give up this title in my family is by death, and I ain’t ready to push up grass yet. Actually, I feel sorry for the next person in line because I don’t plan to leave for quite a while. I plan on being like Queen Elizabeth. No matter how old I get I will not give up my title. No, the next person in line in my family is not named Charles, but I’m sure he’ll feel like Prince Charles in about 50 years. I’ve already had the weight of the world on my shoulders, but now more weight has been added. Truth be told, it’s a good thing. I’m trying to keep myself in decent shape by walking at least 3 miles every day and doing other types of exercise. In fact, I’ve lost about 21 pounds since getting my new title. My Uncle Ben was a good role model for me in trying to keep a healthy body and mind. He was 95 and pretty healthy and in very good shape for a guy his age. His death happened not by disease or a heart attack – he died by tripping and hitting

of hiring the officials and buying uniforms and trophies for the five divisions: Mighty Mites (ages 5-7); Prep (8-9); Freshmen (1012); JV (13-14); and Varsity (15-17). The planning begins in January, Flores says, and then, come August, the teams play 10 games, culminating in a Super Bowl Playoff game at the high school each November. On this Saturday morning, the Freshmen Hurricanes are playing Army on one field, the Ducks against the Tennessee Volunteers next door, and the JVs are warming up back behind the snack bar. While Flores walks between the fields, parents take shelter from the sun beneath a canvas canopy, sipping bottled water, selling league T-shirts (“Our Blood, Our Sweat, Your Tears”) and only occasionally jumping up to scream encouragement at offspring too far away to hear inside those helmets. “OH!” Staci Rimes leaps to her feet. “Go, baby, go! Go! Go! Go!” David Rimes, 12, is No. 23 on the Freshman team, and Staci is the league treasurer. Her husband, also named Dave, is the vice commissioner, and their daughter, Rilee, 8, is one of 60 girls who cheer for the teams. Staci’s shirt says “Hit Some Body.” “We love to watch them become little men,” she explains. “They all become part of our family, and our goal is to see them on the high school field someday, knowing how to play the game properly and safely.” After a while, you notice that no one seems to talk much about winning. At Acreage Tackle Football, winning is

a thing, but it’s far from the only thing. “At the younger ages, the score is not a big deal to them,” Flores says. “They just want to play. If you ask, most of them won’t even know the score.” Now the Freshman games are ending and the players, panting and sweaty, head for the pavilion shade or the snack bar. “Good game, Shane,” R.J. Sorensen, 12, tells Shane Schneider, 12. “Good game, Shane,” Mikey Montalvo, 10, echoes. They settle on a picnic bench. “On the field, if you’re playing with your friends, they’re not friends,” Mikey says, “but after the game you can be friends again.” “Then we start all over again,” Shane agrees. “Once we lost 32-0 to our friends from school,” Mikey says. “It felt embarrassing.” “Yeah, it’s fun to win, but it’s still fun to play,” R.J. adds. Mikey nods. “You want to win and go to Seminole Ridge and get a big trophy,” he says. “But it’s better to have fun.”

‘Cloudy 2:’ gorgeous visuals, cheesy puns By JOCELYN NOVECK AP National Writer
The FLDSMDFR lives! It’s not too much of a spoiler to tell you that, because without the FLDSMDFR, more precisely known as the Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator, there would hardly be reason for a sequel to the sweet and entertaining 2009 family film, “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.” And if “Cloudy 2,” which ups the zany quotient in the continued adventures of Flint and his food-producing FLDSMDFR (we just love the name, so we’ll keep saying it) lacks the heart and fresh feel of the original, it almost makes up for it in gorgeous, color-popping visuals and in its most important new creation: the Foodimals. Like we said, almost. But first, what are Foodimals? Your kids probably know already, and pretty soon, they’re gonna be asking for their Foodimals multivitamins. So you’d better educate yourself. Watermelephants. Bananostriches. Shrimpanzees. Tacodiles. Cheesepiders. Yes, the remnants of FLDSMDFR’s food storm have turned into living things. To recap, at the end of the last movie, Flint (voiced by Bill Hader) had saved the world by heroically deactivating his overperforming FLDSMDFR, with the help of his brainy friend and sort-of love interest, Sam (Anna Faris), and others including “Baby” Brent (Andy Samberg), loyal monkey Steve (Neil Patrick Harris), and Flint’s dad Tim
(James Caan). The sequel, directed by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn, begins precisely eight minutes later, with Flint’s Swallow Falls facing a huge cleanup job from that giant storm created by, yup, the FLDSMDFR. Or, in one of the first of the movie’s many, many puns: a disaster “of epic portions.” Here we have no devious mayor, but a new villain: Chester V, the head of Live Corp., clearly modeled after Steve Jobs and Apple (small kids won’t get this, but I sat next to a 10-year-old who did). Chester (Will Forte) whisks Flint and his friends up to Live Corp. HQ, where aspiring inventors compete to win Chester’s favor. This HQ, which could be Google-inspired as much as Apple, has free caffeine stations (caffeine patches, too), which serve up things like “quinoa lattes,” for an easy grownup laugh. Flint thinks Chester wants his knowhow, but all Chester really wants is the FLDSMDFR, for his own dodgy reasons. So he sends Flint back down to Swallow Falls, where he and his loyal friends soon discover that the FLDSMDFR is not only alive but has created those seemingly monstrous Foodimals. The only problem: they’re actually
not monstrous. Especially the strawberries and the marshmallows. They’re adorable. Enough on the plot – your enjoyment will probably depend on your tolerance of those countless food-based puns dreamed up by script writers Erica Rivinoja, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. Some might find these tiresome, but let’s just note here that this is a kid movie, and KIDS LOVE PUNS. So they laugh at “There’s a leek in the boat.” And they laugh even more the second time. And if a character notes that something is a “piece of cake,” well, why wouldn’t you introduce a nice piece of cake? Personally I could have done without the “cut the cheese” pun. But guess what the kids thought of it? For the adults, there’s enough to admire in the beautiful visuals – trees of a truly stunning purplish burgundy, for one small example – and cultural references like “Jurassic Park” and even, I thought, “The Lion King.” You’ll likely chuckle at the Silicon Valley-type setting called “San Fran Jose.” There’s also a hilarious simultaneous translation scene, performed by a helpful strawberry. And did we mention the FLDSMDFR?

MANELY SPEAKING by Laura Danowski I laura@palmswestmonthly.com
Here’s the poop: Let’s learn from horses’ digestive system We’ve all heard a variant of the phrase, “same poop, different day,” but for horse people, that’s actually a very good thing. One answer to the question “How’s it going?” is the all-too-common reply, “Same poop, different day,” or a variant thereof. The expression connotes lackluster, as if the events in one’s day have no meaning or value. I have two views on the flippant reply. The first makes me laugh as I walk through stalls and paddocks with my pitch fork and wheelbarrow – three times a day – to scoop essentially “the same poop, different day.” There is much to be hailed in horse poop; it is a barometer of good health in horses. Ready for a quick lesson in a horse’s digestive system? It takes a horse approximately 24 hours to defecate what it ingests. Equine dentist Dr. Geoff Tucker says a horse chews about 25,000 times per day. The well-chomped food travels to the stomach for further break-

down, then through 80 feet of intestine, where moisture and nutrients are absorbed. Final processing of complex carbs and starches happens in the hindgut, the latter part of the large intestine. Trouble usually starts in the hindgut due to human brilliance of loading horses’ diets with disproportionate amounts of food stuffs not naturally encountered. Take competition horses which are physically larger and need more food. The average horse weighs 1,100 pounds and in one day can consume 30 pounds of hay and grain. Ideally, their diet should be forage heavy and light on man-made grain products. This is a very expensive process: a 55 pound bale of hay costs $18 to $20 and a horse easily goes through four per week. And what goes in does come

out – about 35 pounds each day, in three-hour movements. As I walk around with trusted fork and barrow, I look at the poop for undigested foods; whole oats and corn are favorites with the birds. I look for “moving things,” intestinal parasites, aka worms. There are numerous types of worms for which horses are treated with preventive medicines in cycles. And then there’s pungent odor – the kind that can melt paint. This is a sign of digestive issue. If all internal systems are
in sync, the piles of poop will have consistent shape, color and odor. So it’s easy to see that when it comes to horses, “same poop, different day” is a good thing. My second view on the reply “same poop, different day,” is of frustration, lest we forget: what we “put into” something, directly affects the quality of “the outcome.” This assessment applies to word, deed, health, finance – the list goes on. Hey, we all know that sometimes, “poop just happens.” And it is how we deal with the sticky, smelly stuff of life that really defines who we are as productive, compassionate human beings.
We all might take a good, hard, self-investigative look at what we put into our day, compared to what we expect out of it. If you seek additional morsels of farm and equine wisdom, come and visit.

the spooky fun with a movie fit for the whole family. The fun begins Friday, Oct. 11, at 8 p.m. with the film, “Hotel Transylvania.” A fun, hilarious, animated movie for all ages, this PG-rated movie is set in Dracula’s extravagant five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up and no humans are allowed. If you haven’t seen the film, this is your chance! It might even be fun to bring the kids in costume so that they get the whole “Happy Halloween” experience!
Scarecrow Festival
For a less-creepy but equally fun and festive event, the Historical Society of Palm Beach County invites you and your family to the Scarecrow Festival that takes place Saturday, Nov. 2, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This family-friendly event will be held at the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum. Enjoy fun fall activities such as hay rides, arts & crafts, a scarecrow contest, corn shucking contest and much more! Admission is only $10 per person and free for children 3 and under. The museum is at 300 N. Dixie Hwy. in downtown West Palm Beach. For more information on the museum go online to historicalsocietypbc.org.
Clematis by Fright
If movie nights and scarecrow festivals are not enough to tame your little monsters, bring them to Clematis by Fright on Thursday, Oct. 31, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. for a scary fun time. The popular waterfront concert series goes to the ghouls with a crazy costume contest for all ages, free candy and more.
I always like to see the creative family costume ideas dressed in their most “terrifying” getups. For more information on this very popular annual event, go online to clematisbynight.net.
Moonfest
Of course, how can any Halloween to-do list in South Florida be complete without mentioning Moonfest! Last year, an estimated 25,000 people came to Clematis Street to take part in the outrageous Halloween event. Moonfest is a 21-and-older, gated and ticketed event ($7 in advance, $10 at the gate or VIP!) that keeps getting better each year. As always, Moonfest starts at 6 p.m. For more information and to purchase your tickets, go online to moonfest.org. That’s all for now, but certainly not for Downtown.

COMMUNITY ROUND-UP / WELLINGTON
Make plans to attend Wellington’s family-friendly Fall Festival This popular community event is back with hayrides, costume contests, bounce houses, trick or treating and haunted hallways! By MAYOR BOB MARGOLIS Exclusive to Palms West Monthly
October is another exciting month for Wellington. Here’s an overview of what’s in store: Our annual Fall Festival returns to Wellington on October 19th! Starting at 6 p.m. at Village Park, this is a great community and family event where kids can have a fun, safe Halloween experience. As always, we’ll have haunted hallways, bounce houses, door-todoor trick or treating, a costume contest, hay rides and so much more. Bring your children in costume for a spooky, fun-filled family evening! Halloween is a holiday that
kids look forward to all year – with costumes and candy, how could they not be excited? But it’s also a time of heightened danger. According to the Centers for Disease Control, childhood pedestrian deaths are four times more likely on Halloween than other evenings. With that sobering statistic in mind, I want to offer some safety reminders. Always put reflective tape on your kids’ costumes and bags to help drivers see them in the dark. Make sure your kids walk – not run – from house to house. Keep to sidewalks whenever possible and ensure that all costumes fit well to lessen
the chances of tripping, falling and impacting vision. Make sure kids know the proper way to cross roads. Young children should always be supervised and older kids should always go out in groups. Make sure they never get into a stranger’s car or go into any stranger’s home without trusted adult supervision. Lastly, stress to them that they shouldn’t eat any candy until an adult has inspected it. As a reminder, Wellington’s fiscal year begins Oct. 1 and runs through Sept. 30, 2014. You can find the budget by clicking on the “Your Money” icon online at wellingtonfl.gov.
We’ve seen recently some positive economic developments for our budget. The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser revealed earlier this year that Wellington has seen the greatest increase in estimated property values for 2013 of all municipalities across the county – 6.6 percent over last year. We look forward to 2014 continuing this great trend. Lastly, it’s getting close to peak equestrian season in Wellington. We see 11,000 to 12,000 horses from December to February, dropping to approximately 2,600 in the summer months. It’s during the present time – September to November – when that number starts increasing. With limited road space, both riders and drivers must do their part
to ensure each other’s safety. I’m excited for all we have going on this month. I can’t wait to see the smiles of kids and parents during Fall Festival and Halloween. I’m excited for Fiscal Year 2014, and how we keep battling back after the dark days of the recession. And I’m excited for another great equestrian season, which is such an important element of the Wellington community.

Photo by Julianne Schiliro
This photo by 9th grader Julianne Schiliro won first place and a check for $150 as the overall winner in the high school photography category of the Rotary Club of Wellington’s Peace Ceremony Contest.
Rotary contest promotes peace Sometimes inspiration comes from the unlikeliest places. For Wellington High School 9th grader Julianne Schiliro, inspiration – along with a check for $150 – came from a little girl she baby-sits. Julianne won top overall prize in the high school photography category of the Rotary Club of Wellington’s recent United Nations Rotary Peace Ceremony Contest. All totalled, a whopping 256 posters, 70 poems, 35 essays and 20 photographs were judged for the annual contest. According to Julianne, her picture was an “accidental success.” Her picture depicts a young girl sitting on a sofa with her arms wrapped around a globe. “The little girl is one of the girls I baby-sit,” said Julianne. “She was just lying on her couch saying ‘I have the world in my hands.’ I took the picture not thinking I would even use it at all.”
And the picture’s meaning? “For me, the little girl hugging the globe symbolizes love for the entire world no matter color, language, etc.,” she added. In other categories, Poster winners were 4th-grade students Kayla Brusie, Binks Forest; Hailey Feinberg, Elbridge Gale; Leah Silverman, Equestrian Trails; Victoria Watson, New Horizons; Adrianna Garrido, Panther Run; and Jacob Fink, Wellington Elementary; who each won $50. Leah, the overall winner, received an additional $75. Poetry winners were Warren Lee of Polo Park Middle School and LeeAnn Hewitt of Wellington Landings Middle School. Each received $75. Essay winners were Palm Beach Central’s Ishmam Ahmed and Wellington High School’s Jake Sukienik. Each took home $100. The Peace Ceremony took place Sept. 21 at the Wellington Rotary Peace Park.

Nothing will change until you stop feeding into everyone else’s issues. If you start taking care of yourself your example will inspire them to handle their own stuff. Gemini (May 22 – June 21) What you’re afraid of is nothing compared to what it will cost you not to face it. Reclaiming your power may come at a high price. Others are bound to freak out about this. Don’t let their hysteria keep you from doing what’s right. Cancer (June 22 – July 23) You have no clue how to work this. All you can do is stay in the moment and trust that if this is what you want it’s already yours. Keep your thoughts clear and don’t let anyone tell you that this is impossible.
Leo (July 24 – Aug. 23) Needing
to prove yourself is an old story. Removing your parental trips from the equation will help you see this for what it is. Stop trying to outdo what’s perfect to begin with. Virgo (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23) People are manipulating you to the point where you can’t figure out what you want here. Your needs are too important to get lost in others’ attempts to micromanage your life. Shut off their input and listen to your inner voice. Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23) Your love life has taken an interesting turn. What was a problem before is no longer there. Now that things are clear you are free to go deeper into your heart. Learning more about the true nature of love is your job right now. Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22) Your money concerns are major. You’re so tied up in the system you’ve gotten trapped in it. This is all the result of thinking more is better. Keep only what you need and sell the rest.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21)
There’s so much going on outwardly your personal issues can’t even be addressed. Maybe this is a blessing, but sooner or later you’ll have to deal with the fact that you went too far too fast and wound up forgetting yourself. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20) A little strategy will save you from having to hammer your point to death. Step back and let others think that this is their choice. Once they see that you aren’t here to force the issue, they will willingly agree to go along.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19)
Others are confused by what appears to be your need for change. What you wanted a year ago has nothing to do with what you want now. Sharing your true feelings won’t jeopardize your relationship. Pisces (Feb. 20 – March 20) What you’re afraid of losing is causing you to cling to this. The real question is, what are you holding on to? There may be nothing of value here. By settling you could easily close your self off to real fulfillment.

Outside the Neighborhood Marijuana-wrapped arrow shot at Washington jail
BELLINGHAM, Wash. — A man is accused of trying to get marijuana into a Washington state jail by attaching it to an arrow he shot onto the roof. A Whatcom County sheriff’s employee saw the man step out of his pickup truck and use a bow to launch the arrow toward the jail’s second-floor recreation area, but it missed its target. Sheriff Bill Elfo says the man, identified as 36-year-old David Jordan, was arrested for investigation of introducing contraband into the jail, resisting arrest and obstructing law enforcement. The Bellingham Herald reports Jordan served 20 days in the jail in August for assault and resisting arrest. The sheriff says Jordan told deputies he had been aiming at a squirrel, but he couldn’t explain why he needed to attach marijuana to the arrow to go squirrel hunting.
Conn. police: sneeze leads to accidental shooting
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Police in Connecticut say an 81-year-old man who was lying in wait with a rifle for a pesky raccoon accidentally shot himself after sneezing and falling from a chair. New Haven police say James Pace Sr. shot himself in the shin at his home. The injury wasn’t life-threatening. Pace told authorities that a raccoon had been scratching at his back door for several days and he was waiting for it with a .22-caliber rifle. Police say he sneezed and fell from his chair, then realized he had accidentally shot himself. Pace’s son drove him to YaleNew Haven Hospital. Detectives seized the rifle and are investigating the incident.
Ohio couple married 65 years die 11 hours apart
DAYTON, Ohio — Relatives of an Ohio couple who died at a nursing home 11 hours apart on the same day say their love story’s ending reflects their devotion over 65 years of marriage. The Dayton Daily News reports that Harold and Ruth Knapke died in their shared room Aug. 11, days before their 66th anniversary. Their daughters say they believe their father willed himself to stay with his wife despite failing health until they could take the next step in their journey together. He went first; she followed. They had a joint funeral Mass, with granddaughters carrying Ruth’s casket and grandsons carrying Harold’s casket. The cemetery procession stopped at the farm house where the couple had raised six children. The current owners surprised the family by flying a flag at half-staff.

Ohio man who threatened police holds ‘idiot’ sign
CLEVELAND — A man who threatened officers in Cleveland has made a court-ordered public apology by standing near a police station with a sign describing himself as an idiot. A judge had ordered 58-yearold Richard Dameron to stand outside a local police station with a sign bearing an apology. He began the vigil Monday, Sept. 2, and stood outside for three hours each day for the rest of the week. Dameron was convicted of threatening officers in 911 calls. The Cleveland judge who sentenced Dameron previously made a woman wear an “idiot” sign in public for driving around a school bus.
Cat survives 11-story fall at Alaska apartment
MILTON, West Virginia — Who says superheroes aren’t real? When a West Virginia home caught fire, trapping a kitten inside, it was Batman and Captain America who came to the rescue. John Buckland, dressed as Batman, and Troy Marcum, dressed as Captain America, saw smoke at a house nearby when they were entertaining children as part of their business. They ran to the house along with another bystander, kicked in the door and broke out a window so some smoke could escape. Buckland, a former firefighter, says he crawled into the front room and felt something furry. He grabbed the animal, ran outside and gave it mouthto-mouth resuscitation.
JUNEAU, Alaska — A house cat in Alaska is recuperating after surviving a fall from 11 stories up. The Juneau Empire reports the 2-year-old cat, named Wasabi, was chasing a mosquito in her owners’ apartment in Juneau, about two blocks from the state Capitol. The mosquito escaped out a window and Wasabi went after it. Stephanie Gustafson says her mother watched the female cat fall. The cat landed in a parking lot. Gustafson found Wasabi huddled nearby, bloody and wet from rain. The cat suffered a fractured leg and broke bones in a joint. After an operation, pins and wires are holding her fractured bones together, and she’s sporting a pink cast.
Wasabi is expected to heal in about six weeks.
Texas woman wounded when dog knocks over shotgun
FORT WORTH, Texas — North Texas police are investigating a canine caper that left a dog owner with a shotgun wound. The dog was ambling about its Fort Worth recently when it knocked over a shotgun leaning near the homeowner. The gun discharged when it fell to the ground, striking the 78-year-old woman in the left foot as she watched television. She didn’t immediately seek medical attention and by the next morning her foot had swollen. She then sought treatment at a Fort Worth hospital. Police spokeswoman Sharron Neal tells the Fort Worth StarTelegram that the woman says the dog shouldn’t be blamed. The name and breed of the dog weren’t released. Neal says, “He has the right to remain silent.”
Baby boom: Triplets, then twins for Tulsa couple
TULSA, Okla. — After years of trying to have a child, one Tulsa family is getting more than they bargained for: five babies under the age of 1. Andy and Sarah Justice began the adoption process after years of trying to get pregnant without success. Sarah Justice accompanied the birth mother to an ultrasound appointment, where they learned the
woman was expecting triplets. The Justice family tells Tulsa television station KOTV that they were surprised but welcomed the news. Joel, Hannah and Elizabeth were born on May 18. A week later, Sarah discovered that she was pregnant with twins – a boy and a girl, due in January. The Justice family says they’re excited by the additional bundles of joy but Sarah adds: “God has a great sense of humor.”
Maine town tables ordinance to muffle roosters OAKLAND, Maine — Roosters in the small central Maine town of Oakland are free to crow as loud as they like. The Town Council has tabled a proposal that would have levied fines as high as $100 on the owners of loud roosters. The Morning Sentinel reports that a dozen residents of the town of about 6,200 showed up at the council meeting to oppose the ordinance. Ethan Pullen says some people like to breed chickens to show at agricultural fairs, and to breed chickens, you need a rooster. Town Manager Peter Nielsen said the proposal was sparked mostly by the concerns of one resident, who complained about a neighbor’s four loud roosters. The neighbor has since given three roosters away, which Nielsen says appears to have solved the problem.
