ldquoOn October 31 All Hallows Eve the children make a childrens altar to invite the angelitos (spirits of dead children) to come back for a visit November 1 on All Saints Day and the adult spirits will come to visit on November 2 is All Souls Day when families go to the cemetery to decorate the graves and tombs of their relatives The three-day fiesta filled with marigolds the flowers of the dead muertos (the bread of the dead) sugar skulls cardboard skeletons tissue paper decorations fruit and nuts

incense and other traditional food and decorationsrdquo mdash Frances Ann Day Latina and Latino Voices in Literature

Different Cultures CelebrateSome ancient cultures burned their dead on funeral bonfires Ancient Greeks believed that there was a journey in the afterlife one must undertake including being ferried across the river Styx by an Eternal boatman the ancient Vikings seem to have felt that honor in life mirrored what would happen to them in Valhalla (the afterlife) Their attitude made them good warriors as they believed that to die in battle guaranteed an eternity of happiness and thus they often celebrated festively when they lost comrades some cultures bury their dead and ancient Hebrews would often build tombs for those that they wished to honor the Irish culture is well-known for holding wakes which are particularly celebratory and festive Family and friends stay up during the entire night during a wake and watch over the body of the deceased to honor their life while celebrating and though entombment was popular in older times Christian death became more associated with burial Christians who truly believe the dead will be seen again one day often celebrate the passing on of a life as part of dealing with their grief Indeed within the Christian spiritual texts there is a New Testament message of hope for Christians not to be stricken with un-ending grief because those they have lost are not permanently gone Mexican culture has the Day of the Dead which is a rather unique celebration Though many cultures pay great honor to their people when they die the Day of the Dead is a celebration for all the dead in general at once It is very festive and they do more celebrating and eating than they do mourning Donacutet miss out on all of the Festivals and Events Oct 31 Nov 1st and 2nd please see page 5 with Mazatlan Life

Friends Family and AcquaintancesNormally we celebrate during Memorial Day for our families loved ones and military This month I would like to celebrate myour friends that have visited lived played donated gave of their time here in Mazatlan promoting good will leaving marks and promoting just about everything

RememberingGo ahead and mention my loved one The one that died you know Donrsquot worry about hurting me further The depth of my pain doesnrsquot showDonrsquot worry about making me cry Irsquom already crying inside Help me to heal by releasing The tears that I try to hideIrsquom hurt when you just keep silent Pretending they didnrsquot exist Irsquod rather you mention my loved one Knowing that they have been missed You asked me how I was doing I say ldquopretty goodrdquo or ldquofinerdquo But healing is something ongoing I feel it will take a lifetime Elizabeth Den~

What does it mean when the online weather forecaster says ldquoTonight ndash Clear with

60 chance of precipitationrdquoMy neighbors think I am it I am

the one to ask what to expect from good lsquool Mother Naturersquos weather decisionshellip especially this time of year Yes it is the rainy season in Mazatlaacuten meaning that we get all types of wonderful T-storms They will ask me ldquoCynthia is it going to rain tonightrdquo

I always respond with an exact answer ldquoWe have a 60 chance of rain tonightrdquo Or ldquoA hurricane is on its way get yourselves readyrdquo

Itrsquos interesting how my ego inflates whenever Irsquom asked what to expect for the dayrsquos weather but in all honesty I simply repeat what I read on my weather site However there was a time where I would never have repeated my knowledge That day came a little over a year ago (fade to the past letrsquos hear the music that makes us feel like we are regressing please)hellip

I was upstairs in my office I took a look at my favorite online weather forecaster and let out a scream over what I saw ldquoYou have got to be kiddingrdquo I cried

My eyes stared at the screen with total disbelief when my dog rushed to me in panic I pointed ldquoLook just look at the forecast for tonight What are we going to do I donrsquot even own a sweater Yes I do have a few pairs of socks but this oh my We need to find warm shelter for the nightrdquo

I couldnrsquot think of anyplace that would protect us from what was soon to be an historical storm landing on top of our little city

Finally I thought of an idea ldquoLet me refresh the screen maybe itrsquos a mistake Maybe just maybe we wonrsquot need to come up with a survival plan We can plan a nice bbq dinner on the patio or take a walk on the beach to see the sunsetrdquo I smiled at my dog ldquoReadyrdquo I crossed my fingers ldquoThis may be the most important refresh I have ever performed on this

keyboardrdquoI became serious and could hear

the drum roll in my head as my finger nervously approached that one key that would determine our destiny for the next few days I was touching the key I took a deep breath TAP Done My head moved closer to the screen staring for the refresh to complete hoping hopinghellip

ldquoHardquo I joyously declared We were going to be alright after all The screen went from sayinghellip

-160 degrees F with snow TO 81 degrees F with clear skies

I sighed and then said ldquoYou want to go to the beach and see the sunsetrdquo

When we entered the street outside my house the neighbor saw us ldquoHey Cynthia whatrsquos the weather forecast for tonightrdquo

I smiled and said ldquoWarm with clear skies no worriesrdquo

Lesson here Wait until an hour before you show off your knowledge of this weather phenomena look out the window to see what the sky looks like then feel free to wander outside where your neighbor might prompt you to enlighten him with real knowledge of the weather

Sorry got to gohellip the site is telling me that there is a tsunami cominghellip I need to warn my neighbors --Ahh

After surviving a very long hot and humid summer with temperatures frequently in

the 110-125 degrees Fahrenheit with the heat index it is important that you deal with the climate here with caution Conditions to be on the lookout for are heat exhaustion heat stroke

The first two problems are related Heat exhaustion happens when someone is in a hot environment for awhile and they sweat and loose bodily fluids This can even happen indoors The blood volume and blood pressure drop Symptoms are fatigue feel sick sweat profusely and faint If you sit in a room even a bathroom for an extended period of time you can begin to have heat exhaustion The treatment is to get into a cool place Turn on your fans andor air conditioner and drink water Normally you will feel much better within 30 minutes Elderly diabetics taking insulin and people with kidney heart or circulation problems are at higher risk for heat exhaustion

Heat stroke happens when your body cannot cool itself down and your body temperature has increased due to being in a hot environment Symptoms are dry skin muscle cramps shallow breathing vertigo headache and confusion If untreated heat stroke can cause brain damage organ damage and death This is a medical emergency Treatment consists of cooling the body down moving to a cool area increasing ventilation-cool air drinking water and putting cool water on the body

There are steps you can take to reduce the risk of getting heat exhaustion and heatstroke during a heat wave These includeEAT COLD foods particularly salads and fruit with a high water content TAKE A COOL shower bath or body wash SPRINKLE WATER over your skin or clothing or keep a damp cloth on the back of your neck KEEP YOUR environment cool

ldquoThe cat is a dilettante in furrdquo Theophile Gautier

Visit SinaloaThe Real de Panuco is surrounded

by hills where the gold and silver was mined from the second half

of the sixteenth century to the present day Today there are only 600 people

Panuco will be filled this October 5th during the fiestas in honor of its patron saint and ready to welcome thousands of devotees of the Miraculous Virgin Our Lady of the Rosary of Panuco the protagonist of a legend that all the townrsquos inhabitants know how to relate

In Panuco a hundred years is nothing The pueblo was founded more than 400 years ago the kiosk was built in 1896 and there is a monument from 1914 in memory of the assassination of Francisco I Madero the then president of the country

Strolling through the ruins that exist in the outskirts of town you discover the origin of the noise that lulls the pueblo It is the strong flow and waterfalls of the Panuco River

In Panuco you arenrsquot going to find any tourist infrastructure Arriving there is eventful enough but it is the most vivid way of getting to know the mining past of Sinaloa Here history is still present

The tradition of our Lady of the Rosary of Panuco starts when two statues of the Virgin arrived from Spain one big and the other small The small one was for Panuco and the other was for the pueblo of El Rosario Their destinations got mixed up They wanted

to amend the error so they organized a procession to the other mining center After a few kilometers they couldnrsquot handle the weight of the statue so they decided to return to the pueblo The load somehow seemed lighter on the return journey They agreed that the Virgin wanted to stay there A chapel marks the spot where they managed to arrive Information from wwwnoroestecom

PANUCO

Is located at 77 kilometers from

Mazatlan 10 kilome-ters from the Con-

cordia-Durango highway

Dear FrustratedPlan things for the 4 of you excluding children

Dear Love DoctorsMy kid said she is stressed out True

Dear Kid Stressed ParentKids say that stress comes from many things Change ie starting school moving to a new home or city divorce time stressors ie too much to do (sports music lessons 2 or 3 times a week) feeling different from other kids being teased or bullied in person or online arguments with parentsfriends or not getting along with siblings school stressors ie learning problems energy level teacherrsquos style and location of school are all factors Remember children do need alone and quiet time Show your children you love them with words hugs and spending time

around their interests Do family things like play ballboard games etc Shut off all electronic devices for at least 20 minutes and day and ask ldquoHow was your dayrdquo ldquo What did not go as you wanted or expectedrdquo ldquoHow can we helprdquo ldquoHow big and how long has this been a problemrdquo Also morning routines help kids get off to a good day

Dear Love DoctorsSome of our friends are avid sports fans TV is their thing so our visits are watching sports We like our friends and want to visit rather than watch a game Stumped

MONEYBanksMost banks are open from 9am to 4pm Monday-Friday and some are open on Saturdays Because of frequent changes with all the banks it is best to check with them for their current policies Not all banks will exchange foreign money to pesos There is usually a daily minimum if they do and will require a passport Casa de Cambio (exchange bureau)These businesses are open longer hours than banks usually do not have long line-ups as banks often do and they offer comparable exchange rates (though banks may offer a slightly better rate) Check around to see where you will receive the best exchange rate (the exchange rate is usually posted prominently outside the bank or casa de cambio ATMs in MexicoThe most convenient way of accessing money while traveling is to withdraw Mexican pesos directly from your credit card or debit card Itrsquos safer than carrying cash and the exchange rate offered is usually very competitive Purchases Goods and ServicesBusinesses may accept a maximum of $100 USD in cash per transaction with no restriction on the number of transactions per customer However many businesses are choosing to not accept US dollars at all Likewise many airlines within Mexico will only accept Mexican pesos and credit cards for payment of fees (such as baggage fees) The most convenient way to pay for purchases is to use a credit card or withdraw Mexican pesos from an ATM It is not advisable to carry large amounts of cashTippingTipping in either dollars (bills only no coins) or pesos is acceptable though pesos are usually more practical for the recipient The amount you tip is at your discretion and should be based on the quality of service you received At restaurants 10 to 15 is standard Check to be sure the tip is not included in your bill Bellmen usually receive 10 pesos per bag and maids receive 15 to 30 pesos per day It is not necessary to tip taxi drivers unless they have rendered special
