Zuppa!
Hello, November!
Fall is in full swing, and winter
is just hanging back waiting for the
right time to strike. So what does
all this mean? It is soup weather!
Don’t argue with me, or, “No soup
for you!”
Soup weather is really , because
you can have hearty soups, chilled
soups, vegetable soups, and fruit
soups—ah, the list goes on. I prefer a little chill before I break out
the soup pot. So now is the perfect
time.
I have mentioned before that soup
is not difficult; it is basically a protein, some vegetables, liquid, and
flavor. For a stew, you slow cook
for a long time so that the flavors
develop; for a chili, you can add
any number of ingredients (I have
a sweet potato chili on the stove as
I am writing this article); or a soup
can be leftovers brought together
for delicious thriftiness.
We occasionally go to The Olive
Garden for an inexpensive lunch
or dinner, and we order the allyou-can-eat soup. With a family of
four, we can fill everyone up and
give a generous tip for around $25.
Whether it is the youngest always
choosing chicken gnocchi, or the
oldest always picking a combination of gnocchi and Zuppa Toscana,
we always walk away having had a
great time and a satisfied appetite.
There are plenty of copycat recipes
out on the World Wide Web, so you
can find out how to make the same
soups at home—and you can make
them your way!
I have taken the basic Zuppa
Toscana recipe, adding a couple
of tweaks to stretch the meal and
satisfy the never-ending hunger of
my teenager.
1 lb. mild Italian sausage
2 large russet baking potatoes,
sliced in half, then in ¼-inch slices
1 large onion, chopped
1/4 cup bacon bits (optional)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups kale or 2 cups Swiss chard,
chopped
2 (8 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 quart water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions:
1. Chop or slice uncooked sausage into small pieces.
2. Brown sausage in soup pot,
then remove.
3. Add chicken broth and water
to pot and stir.
4. Place onions, potatoes, and
garlic in pot.
5. Cook on medium heat until
potatoes are done.
6. Add sausage and bacon.
7. Salt and pepper to taste.
8. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
9. Turn to low heat.
10. Add kale and cream.
11. Heat through and serve.
Taken from: http://restaurant.
food.com/recipe/olive-gardencopycat-zuppa-toscana-38298?
So what did I change? I added
sweet potatoes with the russet
potatoes—great color, flavor and
nutrients. I substituted baby spinach (tear in the bowls and then
add the soup), added a bag of frozen California blend, and I did not

add heavy cream. Instead, I used
the broth to melt 4 ounces of cream
cheese, and added it to the soup.
The best part about soup is using
what you have on hand. Use leftovers and accidents, such as overcooked meat, extra potatoes, a sudden gift from the hunter or gardener
next door, etc.
I think you can throw it together
without having to add any ingredients you can’t pronounce, no
processed food, no chemicals—just
real food. So go forth and cook some
soup!

Feedback
The election has been over for
just a few hours, and our press will
be running this paper in just a few
more. You’re either really happy
about how the election turned out,
or you’re still in a state of shock trying to process how your next four
years—and the country’s—will
look.
I know that, in my little microscopic world of business, it will
continue to be a battle every day.
My customers have been struggling
for several years now. They’ve been
holding onto every dollar they have
to see if their business can make
it through another season. Some
out there seem to be doing really
well. I’m happy for those pockets
of business. However, many of the
small business owners with whom I
interact were hoping for a different
outcome in this election. It’s not a
waiting game anymore. We know
what we are up against, and now
it’s time for each one of us to make
a decision on which way we steer
our business models. I believe we
have a huge challenge in front of
us. I hope I’m wrong.
Amendment 64 passed in
Colorado, and I’m sure a lot of folks
are very surprised. This should be
super interesting to watch unfold.
Will Grand Junction have marijuana
stores in the near future? I actually
think that there will be other states
that follow Colorado in the very
near future. Read page 5 for some
great comments from my Facebook
Page. I do think that things will be
very hectic with 64 as it starts being
implemented in Colorado. I’ll just
say this: There will be lots to weed
through before the 64 debate is
over.
Jeffrey Inks - Publisher
Enjoy this letter from a reader.
Dear editor,
Vote “Yes” on Amendment #64.
America is the Titanic, economic
icebergs abound, and we’re going
down, yet, weed is the worry? The
confusion and misdirected passion
should have us all lighting up.
Freedom and a lawful, ordered society are not mutually exclusive. To
reduce crime, decriminalize private
consumption and increase penalties significantly for the violent and
publicly indifferent. Bottom line:
There is no CLEAR Constitutional
or Biblical prohibition against substance consumption, and certainly
no mandate for government force
from either authority. Consequently,
there is no defensible justification
for the war on “drugs,” whatsoever!
Hence, all the textual misinterpretation. Incredibly, supporters of
prohibition don’t consider the trillion-dollar price tag and continual
slaughter (including women and
children) as persuasive! Those voting “No” have their “hearts” in the
right place, but they need to engage
their minds, or blood will be all over
their ballots.
Newsflash: The Constitution is
written on Hemp paper—and (chosen as his first miracle), Jesus turned
water into an alcoholic beverage!
Originalists and Christians are at
war with Freedom on #64. Forget
booze; these same people tolerate
caffeine! Oh, but the government
will channel $40 million in “drug”
money to public schools, right?
Again, no justification, and there is
far better ROI elsewhere.
Consumption is often a reprieve
from a rotten reality. Protect kids
by teaching them the proper role
of government only if you understand it yourself! Then, provide
them more to live for than vampires,
zombies, sports, entertainment and,
worst of all, the completely refuted
prosperity gospel and “Left Behind”
rapture escapism. When it comes to
theological “drugs” like that, just
say No!
Either apply the Bible’s guidelines for life including government,
or stop abusing the Book! Either follow the Constitution, or roll it into a
Cheech and Chong Zeppelin doobie
and smoke it!

New Holiday Shows, New
Business Announced!
+1 Gallery showcases Local
Blacksmiths in November
The Grand Opening of +1 Gallery
will be held as a First Friday event,
November 2, 6-9pm, at 225 N.
Fifth St. (Alpine Bank Building),
#215. The gallery is featuring the
blacksmithing of guest artist Mike
Allen and gallery owner Kristian
Hartter.
Mike Allen could always be
found hovering around the blacksmith’s area of major events. He
found himself adopting his greatgrandfather’s blacksmithing tools
and caring for them as he moved
state to state. When he was invited
into a forge to swing a hammer at
one of the events, he was hooked.
When asked why he smiths, he
simply says, “I really like to move
metal.”
Kristian Hartter is a proud
4
Colorado native who has been
producing art for over 25 years. He
turned exclusively to art in 2008,
working in stone and metal and
immersing himself in photography. He started blacksmithing as
an extension of his metal sculpture,
and opened the +1 Gallery as an
extension of his desire to bring art
to many more people.
Refreshments for the First Friday
Grand Opening include coffee provided by local mobile coffee vendor The Roast Coach and free craft
beer provided by CR Goodman
Distribution.
In addition to blacksmithing, the
gallery will be showing photography, metalwork, and stonework. +1
Gallery is a ‘pico’ gallery opened
by Serendipitous, LLC to provide
a display and retail space for local
working artists who have work
worthy of showcasing and who

MO5AIC at Avalon Theater
November 16!
Joshua Huslig, a Grand Junction
musician who has made it to the
stages in Las Vegas, is coming home
for a special performance with his
group MO5AIC. Josh grew up in
Grand Junction, graduating from
Central High School and Colorado
Mesa University.
MO5AIC is a 5-man vocal supernova that will leave you scratching
your head wondering where “the
band” is. What does this mean,
exactly? It means that every sound
you will hear, from the drum and
bass grooves to the horn and guitar licks, is created by the human
voice. You’ll swear otherwise, but
MO5AIC uses no instruments. It is
a cappella as you have never heard
before. MO5AIC was the winner of
MTV’s Top Pop Group, and they
were semi-finalists on America’s
Got Talent.

Tax Incentive Available for
New and Expanding Businesses
New policy aims to promote
local business growth, relocation
and startups.
The Mesa County Board of
Commissioners has approved a new
policy allowing the county to offer
incentive agreements to new and
expanding business facilities in the
community.
“We want to keep doing everything we can to make Mesa County
more business friendly,” said
Craig Meis, Chair of the Board of
Commissioners. “Businesses that
make a significant investment and
bring new jobs to our community
should be recognized and rewarded.”
The new policy allows the county
to negotiate a tax rebate with any
business that invests above a certain
level in an expansion or new facility
in the community. The rebates will
be based on the amount the business
owes in personal property tax.
The new incentive agreements
are the most recent step in Mesa
County’s “Open for Business” initiative. “Today’s move follows on the
heels of our efforts to streamline the
county development process and
encourage business growth,” added
Commissioner Meis. “During these
challenging times, we’re adding a
new resource to the local economic
development toolbox.”
As dictated by state law, the
amount of the rebate cannot exceed
the amount of tax levied by the
county on the business’ personal
property at the new facility (or
directly attributable to the expansion).
To be eligible, a business’ level of
investment must be at least:
• Twice the amount of the business’ original investment in the
facility;
—or—
• A minimum of $1 million.
In addition, the expanding business must increase employment
by:
• 10 percent;
—or—
• At least one full-time new
employee.
Incentive agreements will be
negotiated on a case-by-case
basis. Applications will be processed through the Grand Junction
Economic Partnership (for new
businesses) and the Grand Junction
Area Chamber of Commerce (for
expanding businesses). These two
agencies will be responsible for
verifying eligibility for businesses
that apply.
The terms of any written agreement based on this policy can extend
for up to ten years. This policy was
made possible by a new state law
passed earlier this year. The statute
authorizes counties to negotiate
incentive agreements for establishment of a new business facility or
expansion of an existing business
facility.

Creating your holiday budget
By Randall Cupp, U.S. Bank
Senior Commercial Team Leader for
Western Colorado
First, know your budget. Take a
few minutes and determine what
you can afford to spend overall,
and then decide how you’ll spend
the money—not the other way
around. If you suddenly have
an idea for a big-screen TV or
dream vacation but haven’t been
saving for those purchases, you
could be in debt for months (or
years) to come. The excitement
of an impressive gift is not worth
the lasting dent it can put in your
finances.
Don’t forget the other eleven
months. If property taxes are
due in February, and you’ll owe
income tax in April, you should be
setting aside money right now, not
spending more and racking up
holiday debt. It’s challenging, but
if you budget all year for recurring
expenses, you won’t be caught off
guard when your car insurance
comes due.
Banish your giving guilt.
Business Profile
Name: Joya Piland
Occupation Zoup! Director of
Operations, Marketing & Catering
Director
Hobbies: Camping, fly-fishing,
cooking, canning
Family: Married to Terry for 29
years, 2 grown kids, son: Adam;
daughter: Lacie
Favorite Restaurant: Suehiro—I
love sushi!
Goals: To make this store, the
first Zoup! west of the Continental
Divide, the best store it can be for
Grand Junction!
When did you first ponder opening up a Zoup in Grand Junction? We
first started contemplating a Zoup!
franchise about this time last year.
I’ve never hear of Zoup—
what should customers
expect? At Zoup! we
have hundreds of
soup recipes. We
serve twelve a
day, and they
rotate daily. Each
b o w l
of soup
is served
with a big
hunk of bread.
We also offer
some terrific
salads and sandwiches. We believe
that everything matters, so we have
extremely high standards in our
food, employees, store and service.
And did I mention that we have
really, really good soup?
How many Zoups are in the
United States? At last count, I
believe there are 50 in the US and 2
in Canada. Most of those in the US
are in the northeast, but they are
slowly and deliberately branching
out. There are two locations in the
Denver metro area that opened
within the last 2 years.
Have you ever operated a restaurant before? Yes, I used to manage a KFC several years ago. Lacie,
our General Manager, has over
seven years in food service. Terry
has a Bachelors degree in Business
Administration from Kansas State
University and will be our behindthe-scenes business manager.
How long did the process take to
acquire a Zoup franchise? It took
us about 2 months to pull the trigger. We spoke with the corporate
team and founder several times on
the phone. They invited us to come
to Southfield MI to meet the team,
and we spent about five days there,
learning about the business and culture. We even got to work in one
of the stores there in Southfield for
a d a y,
and
we all felt
sure that
this is
what we
wanted to
do, and
what we
wanted
to bring
to Grand
Junction.
Afterwards,
we came home
and mulled it over for
several more weeks before
we made the decision.
What is your favorite item on
the menu? Probably the Chicken
Pot Pie (soup), or the Vegetarian
Split Pea, or maybe the Overstuffed
Bell Pepper, OR the Cheeseburger
Royale…. What I love is the constant rotation; there is something
new all the time. We always have a
Vegetarian, Dairy Free, Gluten Free,
and Low Sodium offering. During
the summer, we always have a couple of chilled soups. There is really
something for everyone.
When do you plan to open? We
are planning to open mid-November. We’ll be in the Chinle Plaza, 644
North Avenue, Suite #1.
Many seasonal winter jobs can offer people a great way to save some
extra money. Two of the most common winter jobs include working in
retail during the holiday season and shoveling snow. No matter where
you live, there are probably a number of retail stores near you that
need to hire additional staff to help them out during the busy holiday
season. As millions of Americans do their Christmas shopping every
year, retailers need to hire people to help wrap gifts and to help stock
shelves. Since retailers won’t be expecting seasonal hires to stay with
them for very long, you probably will have the opportunity to be in a
“float” position allowimng yoo to learn a variety of skills. Don’t forget
to check out temp agencies, this is where a lot of seasonal employers
hire through.
There’s no place like the
Grand Valley.
And, like you, we’re proud to call it
home. Thank you for your business
and your trust. We look forward to
many more successful years together.

Turn Back TimeDuring the 1960s,
the United States experienced its
longest uninterrupted period of
economic expansion in history. In
the 1960s, housing and computer
industry overpowered automobiles,
chemicals, and electrically powered
consumer durables, which were the
leading sectors in the 1950s. Big
business dominated the domestic
economy during this time. In 1962,
the five largest industrial corporations accounted for over 12% of all
assets in manufacturing. By 1965,
General Motors, Standard Old of
New Jersey and Ford had larger
incomes than all the farms in the
United States. America’s overseas
investment increased to $49.2 billion in 1965.
After World War II, the efficiency
and productivity of the US economy improved markedly. From 1945
to 1975, output per hour of labor
increased 120%, while output per
standard unit of energy increased
23%. Also, work hours in agriculture fell from 19.2% to 7.5% during
this time. As the 1960 presidential
election campaign got underway,
the 1960-1961 recession began. John
F. Kennedy’s 1960 campaign promise “ to get America moving again “
referred to the American economy.
He wanted economic growth at an
annual rate of 4-6% and unemployment at 4%. Kennedy knew that the
economy was in big trouble, so he
sent Congress an economic growth
and recovery package consisting
of twelve measures. They were an
increase in the minimum wage from
$1 to $1.25 per hour and an extension of the minimum wage to a larger pool of workers; an increase in
unemployment compensation plus
increased aid to children of unem-

Turn Back Time
ployed workers; increased Social
Security benefits to a larger pool of
people; emergency relief for feedgrain farmers, area redevelopment,
vocational training for displaced
workers, and federal funding for
home building and slum eradication. By mid 1962, he was convinced
that the economy needed additional
stimulation that could be provided
through a tax cut. Kennedy suggested that business needed the tax
relief that would be provided by liberalizing the depreciation allowance
on new plants and equipment and
by giving business a 7% investment
tax credit.
In early 1963, inflation was stable,
corporate profits were at a record
high, and the stock market had
rebounded, but unemployment was
still too high at 5.7%. President Johnson inherited a
strong economy from President
Kennedy. The growth during
Johnson’s presidency between 1964
and 1965 gave him an annual dividend of $4-5 billion in extra revenues
to spend. For the first two years of
Johnson’s presidency, the inflation
rate was just under 2%. In 1965,
inflation began to pick up slightly,
but the GNP (gross national product) grew by $9 billion, and unemployment stood at 1.4 percent. The
economy was looking better during the winter of 1966—real growth
was 9%, and, with unemployment
at 3.8%, the economy was robust.
As it reached 1967, Johnson’s
administration became concerned
with inflation. On August 3, 1967,
Johnson asked Congress to impose
a temporary 10% income tax sur-
charge. The surcharge became law
on June 28, 1968, and was tied to
a $6 billion budget reduction. In
1968, near Johnson’s last month
in office, the growth rate was 4%,
and the unemployment rate was
only 3.3%, but the inflation rate had
reached 4.7%. In January 1969, President
Richard M. Nixon moved slowly
on the economy. Nixon avoided
some advisers who were calling for
wage and price controls and relied
instead on some minor trimming
of federal spending during his first
year. By mid-1970, the inflation rate
had reached 6.5%.
The federal government’s position
in the economy continued growing
during the 1970s. The government
played several economic roles: It
was at once a consumer, an employer, a regulator, and a social welfare
agency. As a consumer, it pumped
billions of dollars into the economy
by supporting scientific research,
buying military equipment, building highways, and competing with
the Soviet Union. As an employer, it
provided large numbers of civilian
and military jobs. As a regulator, the
government stepped up its operations to control the economy and
shape the business environment.
By the end of the decade, the
average American’s real income
had increased 50%. Median family
income rose from $8,540 in 1963 to
$10,770 by 1969.

Let’m Throw,by Gayle Meyer
Let’m Throw, Let’m Throw
When they
were very young,
my three sons
gave me a gift I’ve opened every
Christmas since. Each year, I prize
it more.
As many do, I got an early start
on the holidays and succumbed
immediately to stress. The boys
reminded me that the single most
important aspect of the holidays,
however you celebrate, is joy—
plain, old JOY—with bells jingling,
candles shimmering and goodwill
warming, all afloat on the sweet,
round syllables of choirs of boys
whose voices haven’t been attacked
yet by puberty.
It happened the year Grandma
Rachel gave me her Christmas decorations—two boxes bulging with a
lifetime’s collection. The boys dove
in delightedly. Among the tissuewrapped treasures, I discovered
Grandma’s old glass ornaments,
once-bright globes whose gloss,
now checked with age, still reflected
the sweet Christmases of my own
childhood. I smiled with a tickle of
remembered joy.
My joy grew as middle son, nineyear-old Newt, grabbed an end of
what seemed some four miles of
kinked cords and unraveled lights
down the hall, inadvertently tangling his little brother, six-year-old
Vinny, in a festive snare.
“Let’s plug’m in!” Dev, my eldest,
then 12, shouted, eliciting eager
support from Newt and a squeal
of fright from Vinny, who was still
struggling to free himself.
Once extricated, Vinny selected
a box of baubles and wandered off,
still trailing a tail of lights. Later, I
found he’d burdened the delicate
parlor palm with about ten pounds
of balls and bells. It drooped happily, but I stopped him before he
plugged in the lights he’d scalloped
around all the palm’s limbs and two
of his own.
“ H e y, N e w t ! L o o k ! ” D e v
whooped. Triumphantly he raised
a fistful of flowing, glittering silver
tinsel.
Uh-oh. My joy faltered and fell
down. Tinsel! Oh, Lord—tinsel!
The only thing it was good for was
shredding and tangling into tiny,
immortal knots that the vacuum
would never eat.
“Hey, it’s that silver spaghetti!”
Newt crowed. Vinny stared, too
awestruck to speak.
The boys’ rapture was touching.
They had never actually handled
tinsel before, believing it to be very
precious and extremely rare. There
was a good chance that they held
this belief because I had told them
repeatedly that silver tinsel was
very precious and extremely rare. In
fact, I had intimated that tinsel was
right behind gold, frankincense and
myrrh on the Wise Men’s Christmas
list.
Every Christmas, the boys
dragged me to the store aisle where
tinsel boxes were stacked, and I
always acted hopeful. After carefully examining several packages, I
would always say, “Gee, boys, I’m
sorry. This isn’t the Really Good,
Really True Tinsel.” Disappointed
but resigned, they’d say, “Maybe
next year we’ll find the Really Good,
Really True Tinsel.”
Until this year. Now, here and
now, was the mother lode of silver
tinsel, provided by my Grandma—
an unimpeachable source!
Already some strands danced
with ghostly static, while others
slipped from Dev’s fist, silvery and
slithery as they threaded themselves
into the carpet.
Newt laughed, reverently ladling
a handful. “Wow, Mom, Grandma
Rachel found the Really Good,
Really True Tinsel! And she saved
it for us!”
I sighed, soothing my newfound
joy, which suddenly was skittish
as a stray cat. Then, determinedly,
I demonstrated the proper way to
drape tinsel, strand by strand.
To their credit, the boys lasted
through four or five strands before
tinsel started flying onto the tree in
bright clods shaped like the insides
of little fists. Here a snarl, there a
tangle…. Newt landed a glittery
glob near the top of the tree. The tree
shuddered, and ornaments danced.
A grin pulled at my face….
And I let fly…
…And, all in all, once I let the
sheer fun of lobbing tinsel grenades
at the tree override the tide of my
tidiness, I began to know the joy
that already glowed in the boys’
faces.
“Toss a bunch under one leg,
Mom,” Dev suggested.
Well, the effect was festive,
although Vinny didn’t long tolerate the tinsel clod that dangled from
his ear.
And I knew I’d still be picking
tinsel out of the carpet on the Fourth
of July… But I didn’t care.
Every time I hunkered down
and heard my knee’s alarming
little click, I would recall Grandma
Rachel’s best gift to us—our first
Really Good, Really True Silver
Tinsel Christmas.

RR Voted No. Don’t see the legalization of pot adding anything to
quality of our town. Not against pot
smokers (everyone has the right to
do what they want), but I don’t see
the community being responsible
enough to handle it as a whole. We
have enough problems to face without legalizing a mind-altering and
dangerous drug.

DP It will be in violation of federal statute which I don’t really agree
with but it is what it is. It will still be
a federal crime and DEA has already

thousands of years and is very beneficial to many people. I for one can
testify that its the only pain reliever
that has ever worked for me. Living
with neurofibromatosis means a life
of daily pain. I have also suffered
with stress fractures in my foot since
late may and up until a few days ago
the pain just would not subside..I’ve
applied hemp oil to the area for 3
days now and I cant remember the
last time my foot felt so much relief

will abuse it...Hmm interesting....

NOTE: The following is an excerpt
from a 12-page memo intended for my
neighbor.
First of all, thanks for agreeing
to take care of our cat while we go
away for a week. If you’re getting
this memo, it means that your references have checked out, and your
background check was clean. It’s so
good to know that we have neighbors we can count on.
I feel like a bit of back-story is
in order. Christina and I became
cat owners when we moved here
to Paonia a year and a half ago. As
you may recall, the cat in question
belonged to your previous neighbor. It lived outside year-round,
ate cheap kibble from a bowl on
top of the old fridge that was on
the patio, and was borderline feral.
That means a very low maintenance situation, exactly what we
were looking for in a pet.
See, neither of us have been petowners since we were kids, and,
when you’re a non-pet-person, the
pet people of the world tend to look
a little bit insane to you—or, if not
insane, at least tethered, which
actually seems worse. Like when
you’re hanging out with friends
and they suddenly announce,
“Well, gotta get home and feed the
dogs or they’ll eat the couch.” This
always made us feel so thankful
that we were free to roam, free to
stay out as late as we wanted. We
will never, we’d declare, become
people whose lives revolve around
some silly domesticated animal.
But then we moved here and got
this cat and installed a cat door,
and one thing lead to another and,
well...the point is that we leave on
our trip tomorrow. TOMORROW!
We’ve never left our cat alone for
so long—and we’ve been agonizing over it for weeks. We even
considered bringing the cat with
us to New York. Cats love strange
new environments that are filled
with loud noises and fast-moving
objects, right? Exactly. So, we’re
trusting you to take care of our
precious little kitty for us.
It should be pretty simple. Here’s
all you need to do:
THE CAT: Her name is “Circle,”
but she also answers to “Nuzzles
M c M e o w - M e o w, ” “ K i t t e n
Kaboodle,” “Diddy Wah Kitty”
and “Little Baby Kitten Pants.” I
don’t mean “answers” in the traditional sense, like by coming to
you, or even looking at you, but she
still clearly appreciates her numerous and ever-evolving nicknames.
I usually make up six or seven new
ones each day. You only need to
come up with three or four.
CARE AND FEEDING: Alas,
the heaping pile of kibble in the
outdoor bowl is a distant memory. She’ll be needing a daily can
of Seafood Medley Fancy Feast.
Flaked, not chunked. She doesn’t
eat the chunked. Well, she’ll eat
it, but then she’ll puke it up. Not
sure why. Anyway, TMI, right? She
likes to eat in the morning, right
after you’ve played with her using
either the string (see Appendix
VII—“Preferred String Playing
Techniques,” attached) or the
catnip-stuffed mouse (Appendix
V—“Effective Mouse Manipulation
to Increase Authenticity”).
She likes to have her head
scratched, except when she doesn’t.
She’ll let you know when she’s had
enough by biting you. She also likes
to be picked up in a cradling fashion, belly-up, and gently rocked.
She’ll bite you when she’s ready
to be put down. (NOTE: As I write
this, I find myself asking: Is it fair
to ask my neighbor to come over
and let my cat bite him? But then
I realize that the real question is
this: Is it fair to make my cat go
for a whole week without getting
to bite someone?)
A comprehensive list of afternoon and evening entertainment
activities, including some helpful
first-aid tips, are spelled out in
Appendices VI-IX.
CONTACT INFO: I’m including (Appendix X) our contact
information, just in case there’s
an emergency. You have our cell
numbers already, but I’m also leaving you with my email, Facebook,
Twitter, Google+, Skype, LinkedIn,
Myspace, my AOL email from 1995
would be great. Nothing fancy.
Anyway, it should all go pretty
smoothly. She’s a cat, after all, so
ultimately she’s pretty low maintenance.
Thanks again, and we’ll see you
in a week. Or perhaps sooner, if it
turns out that we can’t bear to be
away from her for that long.

...Productivity Suite

I am always
amazed at businesses that do
not provide free
coffee for their
employees. It’s a good stimulant,
legal anywhere in the world except
maybe some small towns in Utah;
and, at three in the afternoon, nothing wakes people up like a blast
of caffeine. It’s readily available,
although at times slightly expensive, so who wouldn’t provide it
for people who are paid to produce
for them?
A second productivity trick—if
you have conservatives working for
you, provide a free copy of the local
daily newspaper. At my work, we
subscribe to the dying local daily
for just that reason. There are no
liberals in the workplace who read
it, because the only liberals in our
area who still have jobs all work
for that very same daily. I have
a man who works with me who
canceled his subscription to the
local daily liberal rag because the
jokers who run the paper insist on
putting their favorite conservative
basher, Doonesbury, in the midst
of the comics. He refused to have
his children read the comics section because of the inclusion of
the liberal hate speech contained
in Doonesbury. He said his sevenyear-old girl asked him a question
about abortion, and when he asked
her what made her wonder about it,
she ran and got the comics section
of the dying daily and pointed to
Doonesbury. Now, each time my
employee is having a slow day, we
open the newspaper to the comics,

A Cricket’s Tale
The animal
with the biggest
heart is the hummingbird. His little
heart must be large enough to pump
food through his veins to meet the
high-energy demand of his hyperactive
little body. A 200-pound man would
have to have a 40-pound heart to have
a heart relatively as big as the hummingbird’s.
The cricket doesn’t have a large
heart, but he does have the largest
cojones. A 200-pound man would have
to have 28-pound testicles to rival a
cricket. Inspired by this fact, I’ve tried
to get inside a cricket’s head, to figure
out what makes this little feller chirp.
So here is his story:
I wake up this morning with sunshine pounding my black back. I
hate it! I back up into the shade and
stretch my legs. My crotch aches
AGAIN. The cool night made my
joints sore and my head groggy.
Vague memories of last night
drift into my wee brain. I remember how beautiful she was. Oh
my, was she beautiful! That sleek,
semi-gloss body! Beautiful black.
She was meant just for me—and
forever. But she’s gone…vanished
like all the others. I long for a lover
who will stay for more than a few
minutes.
The sun’s heat is pounding my
back. It annoys me. I’ll jump! I’ll
do the David Lee Roth. I’ll jump!
But all my enemies! In the light of
day, they’ll see me; they’ll hunt me;
they’ll kill me. I move back into the
shade, inch back into the burrow.
It’s safer here. I’ll just lay low.
I see others moving around—
sleek, semi-gloss bodies. Beautiful
black. Oh my! Look at HER! I wanna jump. I wanna sing. But I dare
give him a cup of
coffee, and, in ten
or so minutes, he
gets wound up
and goes back to
work with a vengeance. We’ve had
to replace a few
tools that got broken, but he is out
there cussing and
griping and producing at a very
high rate for hours.
On days when Doonesbury
doesn’t wind him up enough, we
leave the paper open to “Hugh Said
It.” Hugh is the brother of the editor
of the paper, and to support the editor’s opinions, he is paid to make
up letters from people who supposedly write in to support the editor’s views wholeheartedly. They
title the section “You Said It,” but
everybody knows that Hugh actually writes them; and almost every
“Hugh Said It” contains at least one
letter that touts Hugh’s brother, the
editor, for being brave enough to
use the comics as a political killing
field by including Doonesbury.
Whenever our employee sees
another “Hugh Said It” support-

not. Must wait for darkness.
The sun pours onto my black
back. I retreat slightly into my burrow. My arms and legs are energized by the sun. It feels good. Bet
I could do four chirps per second
right now.
I see sleek black bodies—beautiful black—moving through the
tall grass, but I dare not seek them
out right now. (Didn’t I just think
that? I don’t know… I don’t know.
Déjà vu. Life is deep. We’ve all been
here before.)
Now the sun is going down. It’s
a different world. Now I can move.
Now I’m hidden.
I need love. I need HER. I see her
in my mind’s eye. I know she’s out
there within earshot. I want her
forever.
I am proud of my chirp. I’m really good at it. It’s deep and loud. I’ll
scare the boys away and let that
special girl know I’m tough enough
ing the editor ’s favorite liberal
Doonesbury, he puts out about
12.8 hours of work over the next 4
hours, because he’s written around
600 letters to “Hugh Said It” condemning Doonesbury, and none of
them was ever printed.
No one has the heart to tell him
those aren’t really letters from real
people, just love letters from Hugh
to his favorite brother, who also
signs his paycheck. In a newspaper run by liberals, nepotism is a
way of life.
I remember the first time someone actually showed me how
“Hugh Said It” works. A friend of
mine showed me a series of letters
he sent to Hugh. He would pick
something the editor had said and
write two carefully-worded letters
to Hugh, one agreeing with the editor and one disagreeing with the
editor, but otherwise very similar
in form and content. One week, he
would mail the agreeing letter a few
days before the letter that disagreed
with Hugh’s brother, and the next
week he would mail them in the
opposite order. He kept copies of
“Hugh Said It” the following week,
and invariable the letter that agreed
with the editor would make it into
print. The only time a disagreeing
letter made it into print, it was so
heavily edited that it may not have
even been his comment, but just
edited for length, I’m sure.
I know that a case can be made
that I am actually helping keep the
print portion of the Democratic
Party alive by subscribing to the
daily. I guess that’s true, but it’s
fun to watch what used to be a
vital source of news turn into a few
pages of local drivel and attacks on
the public trustee, who had the gall
to use public money responsibly
by following the lead of most businesses who have turned away from
the paper because of its outrageous
prices and low circulation.
There have been no attacks on
the Public Trustee lately, so I have
to assume he is using public money
to subsidize them again by running
foreclosure notices. Don’t ask me
for sure, because I don’t read it.
I just do their amazingly simple
crossword puzzle to make myself
feel smart, then turn to the Wall
Street Journal app on my iPad for
the real news.
to be her lover and the father of her
children. I’ll make these wings sing
like they’ve never sung before. The
world will hear and remember me
forever.
Oh look! SHE’s coming. She’s so
beautiful. Let me sing my soft love
song to bring her near. My love
song is the best love song in the
universe. She’s here! And she loves
me…the one I’ve waited for.
Now she has the seed of my
babies, I’ll sing her my beautiful
love song in honor of her beauty
and passion. I’ll sing this song forever for HER.
Wait! What’s that sound? It
sounds like an enemy. I must protect her! I must protect my beautiful mate! I’ll hover here above her
until the danger passes or until she
makes her way into the burrow.
There. She is safe now.
Wait a minute. Where is she? Oh,
there she is. No, wait, that’s not her.
Or is it? I’ll sing my soft love song
to bring her near. NO! She’s just
walking away. Ouch.
Nah, that wasn’t her. Yuck. She
kind of looks like her, but that one’s
ugly. Did I really just make out with
THAT? Where did my true love
go? My crotch aches AGAIN.
I know she’s out there somewhere. Let me chirp again. She’ll
come. I know she will. I see her
clearly in my mind’s eye. We will
be together forever. I will find a girl
who wants to stay with me forever.
I will end this never-ending string
of one-night stands.
As it turns out, sadly, Jiminy froze
to death last weekend, having never
found one true love. But his seed and
his spirit live on! So if you listen
carefully in the night, you will hear
his song echoing down the river and
through the canyons forever. We miss
you, man!

A Cocktail with a Kick!
Before joining up with
the Midwest’s most dominate force in metal the
last twenty years back
in 1997, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor had a
little band called Stone
Sour. As Slipknot absolutely exploded on the
scene, Taylor had little
time or energy to continue with his former band.
Theirs were the albums,
the costumes, the tours,
the success....
For everything Slipknot had going for them the last two
decades, they also had their bumps in the road. The band,
consisting of nine members, were as known for their “taking
breaks from each other” as they were for their head-banging
hits. Each time the band went on hiatus, though, Taylor was
able to get Stone Sour (in one form or another) together to
write, record and promote a new record.
Slipknot’s latest (and continuing) hiatus—brought on by
the death of founding member and bassist Paul Gray in early
2010—has many fans questioning whether the band
will ever release another album. They have had a
handful of live performances since Gray’s death,
but conflicting Internet stories have sparked rumors
that Slipknot—as a band—is basically over.
Even Taylor said,”Paul Gray would want them
to continue, and, in that spirit, he feels that they
should, although he feels ‘on the fence’ about returning to the band.”
Part of that conflict may have something to do
with Stone Sour, which, predictably, has once again
taken advantage of Slipknot’s downtime to write and
release its fourth studio album. This time, though, something
feels different.
Where early Stone Sour albums followed the “nu-metal” recipe set in motion by Slipknot, it has become clear that Taylor’s
intentions are to distinguish the sound of one band over the
other. The metamorphosis began during Stone Sour’s last
album, 2010’s Audio Secrecy, and has completed itself in the
band’s first of two releases The House of Gold and Bones,
Part I, released October 23, and Part II, scheduled for an early
2013 release.
For me, earlier Stone Sour releases were mostly filler material. That’s not to say they weren’t good, but they seemed
to lack the substance and depth that many albums of the
genre counterparts were releasing. They had plenty of crunch
and screams, and they were a nice substitute for lack of
new Slipknot records, but, as I said before, there’s something
very different this time around.
Whether it was Gray’s death, or realization that one of the
biggest bands on the planet may be finished, Taylor delivers
a monster of an album heavy on both music and intent. As
the first album in the two-disc concept, the singer said, “It’s
really a morality play. It’s about a person trying to find himself
or herself. You know, everyone in their lives finds themselves
A Day at the
Campaign.” The strong cast and
topical plot help make for a hilarious walk through the world of
modern-day politics.
Ferrell plays North Carolinabased U.S. Rep. Cam Brady as sort
of an amalgam of George H.W.
Bush and Bill Clinton. Brady has
long run unopposed in his district
and again looks destined for re-election despite an episode of infidelity.
Special interest groups led by the
Motch brothers (John Lithgow and
Dan Aykroyd) are eager to defeat
Brady with a candidate who will
support their agenda, and turn to
the unprepared and awkward Marty
Huggins (Galifianakis), the son of a
wealthy businessman.
Brady is politically savvy and
embarrasses Huggins at every
opportunity—until the Motch brothers hire shady campaign manager
Tim Wattley (Dylan McDermott in
a terrific performance) to transform
Huggins from frumpy to ferocious.
Brady’s own campaign manager,
Mitch (Jason Sudeikis), struggles to
rein in his candidate, who begins to
lose control as Huggins moves up in
the polls. Ethics, integrity and tact
Is Spiderman Still Amazing?
For whatever reason (and only
a few years after the Sam Raimidirected Spiderman 3), someone in
Hollywood thought it was a great
idea to reboot the franchise with the
first of three scheduled films, The
Amazing Spiderman.
This time through, we get a little
more history on Peter Parker (played
RR Medicinal use of marijuana
and casual/party use of marijuana
are two different arguments, aren’t
they?
FM I suppose tho that this 64
issue is really not about medicinal
use...but I still believe that alcohol
is far worse than marijuana there
again..its 100% legal
CK It makes no sense to continue
to fight the war...It wastes precious
resources our country cannot afford
and is much much MUCH less
harmful than alcohol. I don’t support driving while intoxicated on
anything but I do support peoples
freedom to do what they please in
the safety of their own home. Use
responsibly!
FM I just don’t believe that just
because it is legalized everyone’s
gonna start using it
TF dangerous and Mind altering????? I thought we were talking
about Weed, Not Xanax.
RR I simply gauge my votes (and
opinions) on what I want for the
future of my children. If I want pot,
I can find it. Legalizing it has no real
impact on me per se - as I doubt it
does for most adults. My concerns
look far past tomorrow.
LS No worse than alcohol, tell
that to someone who has an alcoholic in the family. However, in
2009, there were an estimated 858
thousand arrests for marijuana,
including simple possession, trafficking, and sales, so it does seem
like maybe it’s time to regulate it
differently.
CK I have an alcoholic in the
family..I’d rather have a stoner...

“The Campaign” shows a great
deal of promise and is a worthwhile
viewing for Ferrell and Galifianakis
fans. But, not unlike some politicians we’ve been hearing about
lately, it proves unable to live up to
its own potential.
Rated R for language, crude sexual content and brief nudity. Released
on DVD and BluRay October 30.
are thrown by the wayside (imagine
that) as the rivals trade barbs in full
view of the electorate.
The film enjoys its funniest
moments while Huggins is learning how to be a politician. Wattley is
determined to turn the soft-spoken
and somewhat effeminate Huggins
into a “real American,” including
redesigning the family’s living
room to feature a gun rack, and
supplanting Huggins’ beloved pugs
with more “pro-American” breeds.
Huggins’ discomfort leads to plenty
of laughs.
In contrast, Ferrell’s Brady is a
live-wire riot. He is an irresponsible,
womanizing lush—and, while that
sort of character makes for good
comedy, it’s difficult to care about
him. Seeing Lithgow and Aykroyd
together as brothers is a particular
treat, and the filmmakers do well
in not pandering to one particular
side of the political spectrum. In
fact, part of the movie’s flair comes
in avoiding actual politics (when
an intern brings up a real political
issue, Brady kicks him out of the
campaign headquarters).
Where the film falters is in its
script. Hilarious scenes trade time
with what-the-hell moments, such
as several tasteless political ads,
courtesy of both candidates. There
is some smart social commentary
tucked in, but it’s tough to take
seriously given the picture’s crude
undertones.

The Campaign
The last few months have been
almost intolerable. As we’ve seen
debate after debate and commercial
after commercial, now we can finally
clear our heads of all the Republican
this and Democrat that’s infested
our news, social media and overall
existence as human beings.
Well, maybe not just yet.
inevitably at a crossroads when it comes to a personal evolution and whatnot, trying to figure out what they want to do
with the rest of their lives.”
Apparently what Taylor has found within the dark, deep
abyss, is some clarity and maturity that processes into eleven
tracks of rock so powerful it will make you wish that all the
great bands broke up.
There is the heavy “Gone Sovereign/Absolute Zero” and
“RU486”; the cerebral “Tired” and “Last of the Real”; the
poignant “A Rumour of Skin” and “My Name is Allen;” and
the sublime “The Travelers” and “Taciturn.” When knitted
together, the album accomplishes all it set out to do: It tells a
great story of survival with a masterful soundtrack made up
of the band’s most successful efforts to date.
As far as Taylor is concerned, the lyrics lead themselves
to an almost farewell of sorts to Slipknot. However, as long
as Stone Sour keeps maturing and improving in the manner set
forth here, it’s a divorce that most fans should understand, if
not embrace. But there is more to this “story” of an album and
more to the saga of Taylor. Unfortunately, we are just going
to have to wait for House of Gold and Bones, Part II to hear
how both play out...
by The Social Network’s Andrew
Garfield), a little more on his relationship with Gwen Stacy (Emma
Stone), and a little darker of storyline. In fact, the whole film—
effects and all—did everything it
could to match the dark, gritty feel
of their box-office enemy: The Dark
Knight franchise.
The problem with that is that
Spiderman, of all the Marvel superheroes, is supposed to be funny—a
smart aleck, and a bit camp. From
a comic book perspective, Garfield
played the part well, but the film
seems to get in its own way with
over-zealous attempts to be serious.
The visuals are top-shelf, and the
action is where you would expect it
to be for a movie with this budget;
but the film almost expects you to
know too much of the Spiderman
story from previous films, while it
claims complete independence from
them. Even the villain is a reach
into obscurity (but no spoliers here,
folks).
Purists will find the flaws abundant, viewers living under a rock
and unfamiliar with Spiderman will
probably get lost and confused; but
for the average movie enthusiast
with a little Spidey-sense, this is a
decent, popcorn-chomping affair.
Rated PG-13 for violence and
language. Out on DVD and BluRay

Peyton Manning Leads
Mark Anthony Jackson (born July
23, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is a
retired American professional football
player who was selected by the Denver
Broncos in the sixth round of the 1986
NFL Draft. A 5’9”, 174 lb (79 kg)
wide receiver from Purdue University,
Jackson played in the 1984 Peach Bowl
before spending nine NFL seasons from
1986 to 1994 for the Broncos, the New
York Giants, and the Indianapolis Colts.
Jackson played in Super Bowls XXI,
XXII, and XXIV with the Broncos.
Jackson caught the touchdown pass
that sent the game into overtime on
“The Drive” in the Broncos’ January
11, 1987 AFC Championship Game victory over the Cleveland Browns. Along
with Vance Johnson and Ricky Nattiel,
Jackson comprised the “Three Amigos”
receiving combination in the late 1980s.
He lived in Terre Haute, Indiana, during his youth and played for South Vigo
High School.
lead·er·ship: 1. The position or
function of a leader, a person who
guides or directs a group.
In a word, that’s what has the
Denver Broncos at 5-3, on top of the
AFC West with talk of Super Bowl
contention. Leadership is what
makes a household, a community,
a country… a championship
team. Peyton Manning has shown
incredible leadership this season,
and he has the fans of the Denver
Broncos “Believing.”
Leadership is that intangible
that doesn’t show up on stat sheets
but has a definite effect on win/
loss records. A strong leader is like
a rising tide—it raises ALL boats.
Peyton Manning is a leader. He not
only rules in personal statistics:
2,404 yards, 20 touchdowns, the
108.6 passer rating (best in the NFL),
and he helps turn good receivers
into Pro Bowl receivers.
Demaryius Thomas’ 45 receptions
for 756 yards ranks fourth among
NFL receivers. He ranks number
one with receptions of 25+ yards
at 12. Eric Decker’s 46 receptions
for 583 ranks 18th in the league,
and his 7 touchdowns ties him
for second. Decker has caught a
touchdown pass in five consecutive
games, tying a Bronco record. The
rejuvenated Willlis McGahee is
ranked 12th in the league with 620
yards rushing; he’ll go over 1,000
this season. That’s the “Manning
Effect” on the offensive side of the
ball. What about the defense?
Over the last two games, the
Broncos’ defense has allowed 18.5
pts/game, in contrast to the 32
pts/game Manning and company
are putting on the board—that’s
a winning formula. The Broncos
defense is now tenth in the league in
total yards/game and getting better.
Last year after a terrific start, the
defense tumbled from first in scoring
defense through the first 6 weeks to
32nd by the end of the season. I’m
only seeing improvement with this
group. With Manning, the defense
has been able to play with a lead.
That makes a huge difference in the
success of a defense.
Jack Del Rio has some latitude
to mix it up in his defensive play
calling. Players now are able to
gamble a bit more. After a 3-sack
day against the Bengals, Broncos
linebacker Von Miller is tied for
second in sacks, just 1.5 off the
pace of superstar J.J. Watt. Offense,
defense and, yes, special teams are
all on the rise. John Elway’s awesome
acquisition of Trindon Holliday has
added some excitement to special
teams play. Holliday’s 105-yard
electrifying kick-off return against
the Bengals set a Broncos’ record.
It all comes down to leadership.
Teams rise and fall on leadership.
John Elway, Mark Jackson & Coach John Fox
Strong leadership eliminates the
“panic factor.” Throw a pick… no
problem. Down by 24 in the second
half… no problem. ‘’If you run into
an adverse situation, it’s no reason
to get down,’’ Broncos defensive
back Champ Bailey said. ‘’You just
keep playing ball. Keep going out
and doing your job because you
know you’re going to have a chance.
You see other players doing that on
this team. There are a lot of leaders
on this team.’’
Number one on that list of leaders
is future Hall of Famer Peyton
Manning. Over the next eight
weeks of the season, the Broncos
will face teams with a combined
23-42 record, the Baltimore Ravens
at 6-2 being the only team with a
winning record. The Broncos have
an excellent chance of winning 6
of the next 8 games. Four years
ago, Peyton Manning took a 3-4
Indianapolis Colts team on a ninegame winning streak to finish the
season 12-4.
What’s in store for the 2012
Denver Broncos? Let’s enjoy the
ride!
— it’s the three fourth-quarter
game-winning drives, against
Pittsburgh, San Diego and
Cincinnati, that show what he’s
really all about.
Gone but not forgotten!

“I wanted to create a cinema experience in the original Edwardian
style,” explains Bennett, who has
so far worked on over 100 of the
town’s buildings. “Anyway, I’ve
always preferred watching films
to videos.” As do the locals, apparently.
The Southwold Film Society,
which, as a charitable Trust, owns
the Electric Picture Palace freehold,
has trebled its membership since
Bennett launched his project.
“I’ve always wanted to do a theatre-like building with a turn-ofthe-century interior,” said Bennett,
born in Walthamstow. It was he who
started his architectural practise
in Camden Town in 1971.
“Southwold has a lot of idiosyncratic buildings, which appeals to
me. I really do try not to make a
mark, and I work hard to make my
buildings fit in,” he said.
“The trouble with architects
today,” he stressed, “is that they
make modern buildings first with
no reference to what’s already
there.”
“Southwold is an almost fictional
place, like living in a soap opera,”
expands Bennett, who inherited his
love of film from his father, whose

ered by one of his schoolboy garters,
Bennett still owns. “When you turn
off the A12 just past Blythburgh,
it’s like entering a fantasy world,
like those fuzzy, sepia flashbacks
in a film. Until recently, most news
agents had no top-shelf magazines;
they sold pipes and boxes of cigars.
There is a tendency here not to lock
your car at night. When we first
came, you didn’t worry if you forgot
to lock your front door. It’s English,
genteel, a civilised place to live and
a big contrast to Camden Town.”
We get the picture, John, rather as did your namesake, John
Major, with his 1993 “warm beer”
speech: “Britain…the country of
long shadows on county grounds,
warm beer…and as George Orwell
said, ‘old maids bicycling to Holy
Communion through the morning
mist.’”
“He got a lot of stick for saying
that, but what’s wrong with it?”
queried Bennett. “Harking back to
that English way of life seems to me
to have a value, and it’s still here
in Southwold. There are still men
who doff their caps as they pass in
the street, and what is called today
“old world” courtesy; and I see
the Electric Picture Palace as part of
that charm. I feel no guilt whatsoever in helping achieve Major’s view.
Our first season is an unashamed
nostalgic view of the English way
of life.”

Smallest Show on Earth.” The latter title is an appropriate choice
because architect John Bennett’s
Electric Picture Palace in the seaside
town of Southwold, Suffolk, though
boasting an opulent façade and a
grandiose interior, is not much bigger than your average beach hut.
“ I t h a s b e e n a ch a ll en g e ,”
admits Bennett, 55, who moved to
Southwold from Camden Town in
1993 with wife Jane, 52, stepson
Matthew, daughter Rosie and son
George. “It’s been a struggle to get
66 seats, including a cuddle seat
in the back row, two toilets, a box
office, a kiosk, a stage with organ
lift, a proscenium, a projection box
and all the lighting and a staircase
into an area 35 x 16 feet.”
Yes. Quite. And, later in May (18
May), the Electric Picture Palace, the
name of the town’s original cinema
built in 1914 and now a doctor ’s
surgery, will be packed, as local

Call to Artists
Art
The Source, this local publication, feels the secret of our success is
community involvement, something
we strive for in many ways. One of
those ways is providing local artists
an opportunity for exposure by competing to supply a photo or painting for our monthly issue.We also do an annual book project that needs a cover!
If you have a painting, photo or multi-media artwork in a printable form that you think represents our community,
and if you are amenable to our using your artwork on or in The Source magazine, we would like to hear from you.
If we select your work, you will be given credit in the edition, which will have approximately 10,000 copies printed
and distributed.
You may submit your work to us by e-mailing a photo of your work to us at jeff@yvsource.com. Submitted photos
should be high resolution.
For many years as a downtown business, we have had the pleasure of enjoying Art on the Corner. We see that a
number of people regularly take a moment out of their day to stop and appreciate these works of art. Seeing folks take
pleasure in something that we sometimes take for granted made us want to further our support of the art community
by displaying more of their work. So, please help us get the word out and encourage those with artistic talent to submit
an entry to us so that we can share their work with the community through our magazine.

RE doctors that operate may alrady using pot.. no smart, educated
person would do such a task stoned.
hope not anyhow, I wouldnt want
him on strung out on painkillers or
drunk either...as far as your kids bus

kids may be late every day though.

me think of the bus driver for the
Simpsons..lol..
CK no JI its not less abundant it’s
just less controlled...yeah for pesticides...
RE as for the cannabis ointment, I
have heard alot of good stuff about
it.. what about the “pheonix tears”
I heard it cures cancer.
FM exactly!! just cuz its legalized
