Why are you running?

Anderson
The
third annual All Souls Night in Duluth will be held Tuesday, Nov. 2
at the Depot Great Hall, 506 W. Michigan St. The event is
inter-generational and a freewill donation is
suggested.
The
Cosmic Pit Orchestra provides ofrenda appreciation and face
painting music. Weather permitting a mock funeral march will then
proceed across the street and around the public library, ending up
at the outdoor plaza for a short ritual gathering with spoken word
by poets Sheila Packa and Ellie Schoenfeld. The finale
features the Spin Collective fire dancers with drums and
various instruments.
The
Duluth Children's Museum will also host related craft
activities such as paper flower construction, skull and picture
frame decorating in preparation for the evening.
The holiday focuses on gatherings of friends and family who
remember and pray for loved ones and others who have passed on.
This event honors ancestors through art and festivities of old and
new world traditions, especially the Mexican Dia de los Muertos
(Day of the Dead), celebrations of life through the acknowledgment
of death.

Did you
vote?
By
Pat Castellano (First published in November 2007)
"Did
you vote?" should never be asked of anyone. We should rest assured
that every person we meet has voted in an election. It is our
right (and duty) as a citizen of the United States, a state, a
city, in fact, a neighborhood. Yet, we all know there are people
who haven't voted and maybe never will. These are some of the
reasons people might give for not voting:
My
vote doesn't really matter.
All
the candidates sound the same.
I
don't know where to vote.
I
don't have time to vote.
Politicians
are all bad.
I
don't have any way to get to the polls.
I
have an idea as to what political parties or groups like the League
of Women Voters would say about voting rights and excuses for not
voting. I have a friend who has a saying about excuses, but I
won't share that here!
Why
vote? If anyone asks you that, you can give them these
reasons:
-
Democracy only works if we vote.
-
You cannot change a situation by ignoring it.
-
Elections determine leaders and policies
-
Without your vote, your voice will not be heard.
-
When you don't vote, special interests
take control.
-
If you don't vote, don't complain.
- People
have died for the freedom to vote.

Next
board meeting is Monday, Nov. 8 at 6:30 p.m. at the Central Hillside
Community Center.
I am looking
forward to your email or phone call. Together we can build a better
paper and a better Duluth.
