Destiny is the invention of the cowardly and the resigned. –Ignazio Silone
Join Us For A Nice Evening On The Porch
WINNER OF THE 2016 BLUE RIBBON AWARD
“Go All In!”
Ask about our Respite Program.
It is with great gratitude I write this week. To those that have followed Politically Speaking for the last 20 years, many have questioned where I've been the last two weeks. I'm not sure whether they missed me or they really missed me, but the answer and truth is I've reached a point that I can find nothing to say about the state of Illinois or federal government, especially the Congress, that is positive. This is especially true after Rauner's decision to kill unborn babies and make the taxpayers pay for it, to the tune of $20 million a year, yet by the same stroke of the pen protect illegal immigrants. Many people have asked
me what is the choice, other than Rauner. I will say it's not J. B. Pritzker; in my opinion, he's 100% Madigan's guy, just more of the same. But I have said I can't support anyone that votes to murder babies, so I guess for governor I won't vote for either. With that said, over the years I've been a registered democrat as well as a registered republican. Today I'm neither. I'm an American and I love my country and hate that this country has become so divided in every area, from the NFL players disrespecting our flag and national anthem that so many have fought and died for, to the murder of innocents. Degrading women's
marches lead by those that disrespect women, the murder of our heroes (men and women in blue), the disgusting movements that encourage rioting and destroying property, the looting and burning of businesses, corrupt politicians, and the liberal press — in other words, fake news. We will continue a political column, just not under my pen for a while. So I thank each one of you for the encouragement, the support, and the opinions you've shared on both sides, because I think that's what we've lost — respect for different views. Until next time, God bless each of you.

also baloney. Oh sure, I know pols of all political stripes who run for public office for all the right reasons. I think of my friend U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Illinois. We don’t agree on a lot of issues. But I’ve known her for nearly 30 years and I know that she is a person of integrity. In politics, as in life, honesty trumps all else. That’s why, if I still lived in her district, she would be getting my vote. On the other end of the political spectrum, state Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, a 1987 West Point graduate, personifies the cadet honor code: "A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” I don’t always agree with Ives either, but I know she too is an honest person. Ives is contemplating a primary run against Gov. Bruce Rauner after he signed a measure allowing for taxpayer-funded elective abortions. Some folks think the underlying issue here is abortion. It’s not. Rauner signed the measure after promising Republicans in the Legislature, multiple Catholic bishops and the public that he wouldn’t. Rauner’s supporters knew he was pro-choice when they elected him. But they didn’t know he was a liar. Integrity matters. Yes, we are all sinners. But those who have chosen a life in politics, are among the most vulnerable to temptations. I called up the University of Virginia’s Larry Sabato, one
of the nation’s most preeminent political scientists, and asked him: Why do politicians lie, cheat and steal? His answer: “Because they think they are special. … They have positions where people readily defer to them. Before they were elected, many of them came from positions where no one would give them the time of day. And now that they are in office they have people coming to them asking for favors. They look around and say, ‘I’m not doing nearly as well as these mere supplicants. I deserve more. They get caught up in the hubris of their positions.” An ancient Hebrew king once wrote: “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” Thousands of years have passed since those words were penned, but they are as true for our “kings” today as when it was written. But the guilt doesn’t end with those in politics. We share the blame. We are guilty of low expectations. A fellow journalist — a liberal — delighted with the governor’s decision to break his word, sent me this note the day of the bill signing: a "lying politician" is redundant. I find no humor in such cynicism. We have been conditioned to just look away. We condemn the transgressions of the politicians who we don’t agree with, but tolerate them in those we do. And it’s not going to get any better until we won’t tolerate it from anyone. Other wise, we deserve what we get.

After 30 years of covering politics, I’ve lost count of the number of politicians I’ve known who have found themselves mired in scandal. Sometimes the offenses are criminal. A bribe, a theft, a fraud. And sometimes an offense is one of just character. A lie, an infidelity, a betrayal. Regardless, each misstep informs us about our governing class. I was thinking about that over the weekend when I saw that former state Rep. Sandra Pihos, a Republican from Glen Ellyn, was arrested on shoplifting charges. She’s accused of stealing clothing worth several hundred dollars and then attempting to return the items for a refund. I don’t know whether she is guilty any more than I know whether former congressman Aaron Schock, R-Peoria, is to blame for being something more than a self-absorbed jerk. I take no delight in the legal predicaments of either of these individuals. Or of the transgressions of the many of politicians I’ve covered during the last 30 years. I’ve heard it said, that politicians are no better or worse than those who elect them. It’s an interesting thought. But it’s

RED CROSS CALLS FOR BLOOD DONORS BEFORE THE HOLIDAY SEASON With the busy holiday season approaching, the American Red Cross encourages donors to give blood now to help ensure a sufficient supply for patients this winter. Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, many regular donors delay giving due to holiday activities and travel. This often decreases the amount of donated blood available for patients. More donations are needed in the weeks leading up to the holidays to help stock the shelves for patients like Emily Bratton. After the birth of her first child, she received several units of blood. “I know that my life was saved because someone, somewhere, was willing to donate their blood,� said Bratton. “There aren’t words to describe how incredibly thankful I am that people are willing to donate blood
to help a stranger.� Give patients in need another reason to be thankful – make an appointment to give blood. Download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Upcoming blood donation opportunities from Nov. 1 to Nov. 15 are listed below.

THE HOPE ROCK At times we all need some inspiration or some words of encouragement or kindness. When it seems that things just aren't going right, it feels good to find some unexpected hope. Well, some of the local adults and children are spreading encouragement, inspiration and smiles in our communities with little painted rocks. These painted rocks have messages painted on them, cute little faces or whatever the painter feels like creating. Then the rocks are

taken around in our communities and left in different places for the right person to find. If you find one, you can be sure that particular rock
or message was meant especially for you. The HOPE rock pictured above was found by one of the Shoppers Weekly employees, Linda Weible, when she looked out the window and saw it on the window ledge. Whoever laid it there put a smile on her face and HOPE in her heart. If you find time, get some rocks and paint them and take them around your community and neighborhood. You never know who may need a smile.
CULTURAL HISTORIAN TIM SAMUELSON LEADS FREE LECTURE Landmarks Illinois, a membership-based nonprofit helping people save historic places, has partnered with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division to host a lecture led by Tim Samuels on, Cu ltura l Historian for the City of Chicago, at the DanaThomas House State Historic Site on Wednesday, Oct. 25 at 4 p.m. The lecture, “Wright’s Roots: The Origins of Frank Lloyd Wright,” will examine Frank Lloyd Wright’s earliest work in the 1880s through 1904, with the completion of the Susan Lawrence Dana House, a National Historic Landmark, in Springfield. The lecture will last about an hour and is part of this year’s celebration of Frank Lloyd Wright’s 150th birthday.
The event is free and open to the public. Space is limited, and reservations are required by contacting Frank Butterfield, L a n d m a r k s I l l i n o i s’ Springfield Office Director, at 217-836-2524 or fbutterfield@landmarks.org. About Tim Samuelson Tim Samuelson, cultural historian for the City of Chicago and the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, has been instrumental in celebrating and protecting Chicago’s past.

Samuelson is highly regarded for his stewardship
of the cultural and architectural history of the city at the Commission on Chicago Landmarks and Chicago Historical Society. In 2004, cartoonist Chris Ware and Ira Glass of “This American Life” published “Lost Buildings,” a book and DVD b as e d on Samuelson’s life and the preservation of Chicago’s historic buildings.

How to Document Your Support Pet DEAR PAW’S CORNER: How do I register my older cats as support animals? Do I have to register them with the state? I've had them since they were rescue kittens and couldn't
DEAR LINDA: There is no requirement to register any pet as a support animal, and there is no "official" registry for support and therapy pets. Do not get sucked into paying money to any online "registry" that says you have to do it. However, you should have something that identifies your cats as support animals, so that you can travel with them and keep them in otherwise pet-free apartments. The most accepted document is a letter from a doctor or therapist stating that you need a
5
The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area
support animal. Most airlines will accept this document, as do most landlords or apartment managers. The letter does not need to specify the condition for which you need support. Apartment communities that are up to date with housing regulations are likely to have a clause in their lease stating what they will accept as proof of a support animal. Go to www.hud.gov for the latest guidelines on support and therapy pets in housing. Now, here's my caveat: Support and therapy pets are NOT service animals. They do not fall under ADA rules
regarding service animals. Stores, restaurants and airlines do NOT have to let them inside or on board. However, many businesses are accommodating support animals, because it's a gray area right now. It's important, therefore, to be a good steward when traveling with your pet. Keep small pets in carriers next to you. Make sure support dogs' obedience training is on point. If you're concerned about your pets' behavior in public, consider leaving them at home.

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give. –George MacDonald
Cricket Tables Never Wobbled "For sale, typical English cricket table," said the auction ad. But what is a cricket table? Is it used for sports like the English game of cricket? Does it have anything to do with the insect? No. The cricket table was first named and used during the 16th century. The French word "criquet" refers to its stick legs. And the table has three legs so it can be used where the floor is uneven. Remember your geometry — three points determine a plane, so all three legs of any length will touch the floor at the same time, while a four-legged table might wobble. Most antique cricket tables have triangular or round tops. Some have shelves halfway down the legs. It was a country furniture idea, and tables can be found that are made of sycamore, ash, oak, elm, cherry or walnut woods. A few have three drop leaves. In 2016, Thomaston Auctions sold an elaborate oak cricket table with sausage-turned legs and a Tstretcher for $1,170. *** Q: I have a Hummel boy doll but can't find one that looks like it online. It's 11 1/2 inches high and made of rubber with painted eyes and molded hair. His head, arms and legs are in very good condition. There is a mark on the back with a bee inside a V. Can you tell me anything about its age and value? A: Your doll is from the 1700 Series, which was made from 1953 until about 1959. He is called Peterle and is marked with the "full bee" trademark used by the W. Goebel Porcelain Co. of Germany from 1950 until 1959. The dolls were sold dressed in cloth outfits, some with small accessories like a goose, stein or travel pack. It appears your doll's clothing is a combination of pieces from other Hummel dolls and doesn't have any accessories. Dolls like yours sell for $25 to $50. ***

Fall Harvest Desserts
All Varieties, Everything From Jelly Filled, Long Johns, Cream Filled, Glazed & More!
During the fall harvest, it's apple and pear picking season. Apples and pears are peeled and sliced for tarts and turnovers. Over the years I've had plenty of both, but the last few years my old pear tree that over the years has produced enough to keep family members well supplied with sweet, delicious pears has stopped producing. This year not one pear hit the ground. But thank goodness there's still plenty of apples. Some of my favorite recipes are below.
Borowiak’s
Cider Sweet Apple Pie
You can cook any apple, but the Stayman Winesap, the Red Rome and the Granny Smith are some of the finest cooking apples. You can't miss the tart apple flavor in this pie because it also contains apple cider.
Line a 9-inch pie plate with half of pastry and set aside. Combine 1 cup apple cider, 1/2 cup sugar, and brown sugar in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Add apples, and cook, uncovered, 8 minutes, or until apples are tender. Drain, reserving syrup. Add enough additional apple cider to syrup to measure 1⅓ cups liquid; return syrup mixture and apples to saucepan. Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine cornstarch and 2 T. apple cider, stirring well; add to apple mixture. Stir in cinnamon; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir in butter. Spoon mixture into prepared pie plate. Cover with top pastry. Trim edges of pastry; seal and flute edges. Cut slits in tip of pastry to allow steam to escape. Brush top of pastry lightly with milk. Sprinkle top of pastry with 1 tsp. sugar. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, shielding edges with foil if pastry browns too quickly.
Double-Crust Pie Pastry
3 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 tsp. salt 3/4 cup cold half-and-half
Combine flour and salt in bowl; cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle cold half-and-half evenly over surface, stirring with a fork, until all dry ingredients are moistened. Shape dough into a ball; chill. Divide dough in half. Roll each half of dough to 1/8 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface and proceed with recipe.
Apple Dumplings
During lean times, Southern cooks were known to be frugal. But an abundance of apples and leftover pastry scraps meant apple dumplings could be made — a real treat! Dough: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup ice water Filling: 3 large, firm, tart cooking apples 3 tsp. brown sugar Syrup: 2 cups water 3 T. unsalted butter or margarine 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 tsp. sugar 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening 1 egg, beaten
6 tsp. unsalted butter or margarine 1½ tsp. ground cinnamon 1½ cups sugar 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
To make the dough, combine flour, sugar and salt; cut in shortening and butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine egg and ice water; gradually add to flour mixture, stirring with a fork to make a soft dough. Cover and chill 1 hour. On a floured surface, roll pastry out into a 21- x 14-inch rectangle; cut into six 7-inch squares. Peel and core apples; cut in half, crosswise. Place one apple half (cut side down) in center of each pastry square; dot each with 1 tsp. butter. Sprinkle each with 1/2 tsp. of the brown sugar and 1/4 tsp. of the cinnamon. Moisten edges of each dumpling with a little water; bring corners to center, pinching edges to seal. Use any extra pastry to make decorative leaf designs, if desired. Place the dumpling in a 13- x -9 x 2-inch baking dish; set aside. Preheat oven to 450°F. To make the syrup: Combine the water, sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until butter melts and sugar dissolves; set aside. Bake dumplings, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and pour syrup mixture over the dumplings. Bake 30 minutes more, basting occasionally. Yield: 6 servings. *** If you have a favorite recipe and want to share it with us, just send it in c/o The Shopper's Weekly, P.O.

TEACHING YOUR CHILD GUN SAFETY
H
unting and shooting have low accident rates precisely because we rightly place so much emphasis on gun safety. Although hunting should be fun, teaching kids to be safe shooters doesn't call for much sense of humor. Treat the topic seriously, and children will respond to the gravity in your voice. Demystify Guns Young boys, especially, find guns fascinating. Keeping guns forbidden and mysterious only increases their allure. Let your kids handle your guns with your permission and under your supervision. Show them how to check whether the chamber and magazine are empty. Let them point the gun in a safe direction. Teach them now that the only time they are ever to touch a
trigger is when they want the gun to go off. Take them to the gun club, where they will see targets smashed to bits. Show them the bloody holes your guns put into the animals you bring home. A friend likes to impress new shooters with the power of firearms by shooting a cantaloupe at 10 paces with a 12-gauge. The distinction between real and toy guns will be as clear as the difference between real and toy cars. Give Them A BB Gun Owning a BB gun can teach children good safety habits or bad ones. Kids of your generation might have roamed the woods with Red Ryders and no parental supervision, but there's a better way. Give a child a BB gun a year or so before he or she is ready to start shooting .22s and
SPECIAL SECTION
20-gauges. Store it with your guns and make a point of treating it like a real gun—which it is. Let your young hunter bring it along, unloaded, on short hunts with you. Insist that he carry it with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Pack a few BBs along for some safe target shooting at the end of the day. Spend Time At The Range The more often you take your children shooting, the more practiced they'll become in handling guns safely. At the range, insist that muzzles point up, down, or downrange—always. Keep control of the ammunition yourself, and dole out shells one at a time. Kids will be scrupulously careful about muzzle control until they fire a shot. In the excitement of hearing the gun go

Lead By Example You're trying to instill lifelong safety habits, and nothing you say speaks as loudly as your own actions when you and your child hunt together. Handle your own guns with extra emphasis on safety. While we're at it, boats, ATVs, tree stands, and motor vehicles can be just as deadly as guns if used carelessly. Your young hunter will learn all about them by watching you.

Pick First Hunts Carefully Your first real hunts should be for squirrels, waterfowl, deer, turkeys, or doves, sedentary hunts where the game comes to you. Leave your own gun at home. Sit right with your hunter, whispering advice and giving the go-ahead to take the safety off and shoot. Save upland hunting for last. It requires walking with a loaded gun for long periods as well as splitsecond shoot-or-don'tshoot decisions.

off, they will turn to you, swinging the gun, or drop it down so it points at their toes. If the gun is empty, it's a teachable moment, not a potential tragedy. Insist on eye and ear protection, and emphasize its importance by always wearing it yourself.

PREP POINTERS FOR THE UPCOMING HUNTING SEASON Hunting is a popular hobby and sport enjoyed by millions of people across North America. Over the last 10 years, data from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service indicates that more and more females are taking up hunting. Hunting seasons vary depending on where you
live. Regulations designed by local conservation, game, fish, and wildlife departments often dictate the start and end of hunting season. Although the licensing, seasons, limits, and fees for hunting may differ geographically, the preparation that goes into getting ready for hunting season is similar
regardless of geography. Many seasoned hunters realize hunting season does not begin on "opening day." Rather, it can take weeks or months to get ready for a successful season. C onsidering hunting seasons can be brief, preparation helps hunters make the most of their time spent in the

field. • Purchase your license, tag or stamp. Many wildlife departments require hunters register in advance of the season, and this registration includes securing a hunting license. Because there is a limit to how many animals each hunter can hunt, tags for the animals they're hunting also will be issued. Hunters planning on going out for the season should stay apprised of when licensing and registration begins and ends so they can hunt legally. • Scout areas. The landscape can change from year to year depending on a host of factors, including construction, commercialization and weather. Areas once open to hunting may now be restricted lands. Map out your potential hunting location and be
aware of any new landmarks or changes. • Check and replenish gear. Inspect weaponry, field-dressing supplies, clothing, and other supplies for wear and tear. Address any issues that need to be fixed, or replace items as necessary. If a rifle, bow or shotgun hasn't been fired in a while, take it to a range to verify accuracy and sighting. If you hunt out of a tree stand or blind, make sure it is

sturdy and in good condition prior to use. * Get in shape. Hunting often requires hiking in and out of the great outdoors in various terrain. It's helpful to increase physical activity leading up to the hunt to prepare your body for the physical demands of hunting. • Organize and pack gear. Ensure your equipment is clean, in working order and packed away in your travel bags. Establish a system of organization and a checklist so you're certain you will have what you need. Don't forget to bring along your hunting license and animal tags; otherwise, you may be levied with costly fines. • Always hunt safely. It is quite easy to get swept up in the moment when tracking game. Don't let overzealousness cloud rational judgement and safety precautions. Otherwise an injury or even death can occur. Hunting season is on the horizon and that means preparing now for the few weeks of sport to come.

A Bobble-Head Jesus Many sports fans like bobble-heads of their favorite players. But I was surprised when I went into a truck plaza and saw a bobble head Jesus with a big smile on his face, his thumb sticking-up in a positive gesture, and his head bobbing up and down. The next day I saw a car at McDonald's with a Jesus bobble-head on the dash. My initial reaction was to think that it was somewhat cheesy, d i s re s p e c t f u l a n d perhaps sacrilegious. But after thinking about it, I think it’s a matter of perspective and perhaps Jesus would be amused. I recently came across a novel entitled “Truck Stop Jesus” by Buck Storm. The heroine is tired of her life in Hollywood. When her absentee father dies, she inherits an ancient gold coin rumored to be a clue to hidden treasure. On the way to her father’s hometown in Arizona, she stops at a truck stop and is impressed to buy a Jesus bobble-head. It becomes a symbol of the presence of Jesus speaking into her life. The novel is an

interesting, humorous adventure story. In the end, the aspiring actress finds true hidden treasure in Jesus and the bobble-head Jesus is a symbol of God’s affirmation of her. A bobble-head Jesus can remind us of some biblical truths. Search them out and find your hidden treasure. JESUS IS THE YES AND AMEN. Some people are so negative that they are not fun to be around. They tend to squelch all creativity and confidence out of a person. The Word of God reveals that Jesus is YES and AMEN. “But just as sure as God is faithful, our message to you is not ‘yes’ and ‘no’ . . . I preached to you about the Son of God, Jesus Christ . . . The message of Christ has always been ‘yes’. God has made a great many promises they are all ‘yes’ because of what Christ has done. So
through Christ we say ’amen’. We want God to receive glory.” (II Corinthians 1:1-4, 18 -22) When Jesus came walking on the water, Peter said, “Lord, if it’s really you, bid me come to you.” Jesus said, “Come.” And Peter walked on the water at Jesus’ word. (Matthew 14:22-32) Jesus is the YES and AMEN. Has G o d g ive n you a promise? Believe Him and step out of the boat. JESUS IS FOR YOU — NOT AGAINST YOU. He believes in you. “What shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things.” (Romans 8:31-34) JESUS HAS AN INFECTIOUS SENSE OF HUMOR. When I see a bobble head Jesus, it reminds me to lighten up. “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10) Many of the stories and parables of Jesus reveal his humor and joy. Heaven is a joyful place. Don’t be a religious Pharisee. “I tell you . . . there will be
more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous persons who do not need to repent.” (Luke 15:9-10) JESUS AFFIRMS YOU. When I see that bobble-head Jesus with his smiling face, his thumb pointing up, and his head bobbing, I’m reminded that God affirms me. God says, “You can do it.” “I’ve got this.” Paul wrote, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13) Solomon wrote, “He brought me to the banqueting house and his banner over me was love. My beloved is mine and I am his.” (Song of Solomon 2:4, 16) Wi t h h i s h e a d bobbing in the affirmative, Jesus asks, “What do you want?” Jesus is the hidden treasure you have been looking for. You were bought with a price — his sacrifice on the cross. Say “Yes” to Jesus and begin an adventure that’s out of this world. Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

by Samantha Weaver • It was beloved 20thcentury American poet, memoirist and civil-rights activist Maya Angelou who made the following sage observation: "Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends." • You might be surprised
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re eager to Ram headfirst into that new project. But before you do, find out why some of your colleagues might not appear to be as gung-ho about it as you are. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) All that dedicated hard work you’ve been putting in pays off better than you expected. So go ahead, reward yourself with something befitting a beautyloving Bovine. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s a good time to take on that new challenge. And if your self-confidence is sagging, instead of telling yourself why you can’t do it, list all the reasons why you can. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is one time when you might want to put some distance between you and the job at hand. It will give you a better perspective on what you’ve done and still need to do. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Resist that occasional lapse into Leonine laziness that sometimes overtakes the Big Cat. Don’t cut corners. Do the job right at this time, or you might have to redo it later. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You know how you like to do things. And that’s fine. But watch that you don’t impose your methods on others. A current financial crunch soon eases. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Someone might try to take advantage of your generosity. But before
your sensitivity toward others overwhelms your good sense, check his or her story out carefully. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your strong Scorpian sense of fairness lets you see all sides of a dispute. Continue to remain impartial as you help each person work through his or her particular grievance. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Trust your keen Sagittarian insight to help you see through an offer that might not be all it claims. A closer look could reveal disturbing elements. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) With the Goat exhibiting a more dominant aspect these days, you could find it easier to make your case in front of even the most skeptical audience. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Take things nice and easy as you continue to build up your energy reserves for a big change that’s coming with the full Hunter’s Moon on Oct. 29. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Recent news from someone you trust could help you make an important decision. Also, be prepared to confront an upcoming change in a personal situation.

The venue is dedicated to the performance of works by Richard Wagner, and the 19th-century German composer himself chose and adapted the design. A key component is the seating: Not only are the seats arranged to give all attendees an equal and un-
interrupted view of the stage, but they're also rather uncomfortable. It's been reported that Wagner intentionally chose exceptionally hard wooden seats to prevent the audience from treating his operas as fun. *** Thought for the Day: "One of the primary tests of the mood of a society at any given time is whether its comfortable people tend to identify, psychologically, with the power and achievements of the very successful or with the needs and sufferings of the underprivileged." — Richard Hofstadter © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
