Make your Lake Superior Day plans now: July 20, 2008 celebrate the world's largest, cleanest freshwater lake - annual event sponsored by Lake Superior Binational Forum, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Environment Canada Celebrate Lake Superior Day on Sunday, July 20, 2008What s better than a July picnic on a hot, sandy beach next to the world s largest freshwater lake? A picnic and a Lake Superior celebration! Individuals and families, churches and kids, communities and clubs, and businesses and industries hold activities or events that celebrate Lake Superior Day, held annually on the third Sunday in July (July 20 this year). Can you do something that symbolizes your own connection to the lake on that day? Lake Superior Day was started in the early 1990s to highlight the importance of this great water body to the basin s environment and economy. The Lake Superior Binational Forum promotes this basin-wide event to highlight the special connections people have to this unique world treasure. Many events have been held to educate or entertain people about lake issues, special places, and recreational opportunities. You are invited to hold activities or events that celebrate this world-class lake. This year the theme is Let s Go Fly a Kite! to symbolize clean energy sources such as wind power. Organize your group or family to fly a kite at your favorite beach or park on July 20! Click on this link for more information about flying a kite on Lake Superior Day. Families fly kites made from homemade materials off the deck of the Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth.

If you could travel along the entire Lake Superior shoreline, you would travel 1,826 miles, or the distance from Duluth to San Francisco. The Lake Superior Binational Forum is a multi-sector stakeholder group of U.S. and Canadian volunteers that work together to provide input to governments about lake issues and educate basin residents about ways to protect and restore the lake. Members come from Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ontario. Northland College Ashland, Wisconsin photos courtesy: Northland College, Liturgical Environments, Wayne Nasi Construction--- The Forum is located in the United States at Northland College in Ashland, WI, and funded in the U.S. by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency s Great Lakes National Program Office. The Canadian Forum office is at EcoSuperior in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and funded by Environment Canada. ------- Top Ten Ways You Can Protect Lake Superior Every Day Wisconsin DNR Map1. Install water saving devices on your kitchen and bathroom faucets and showerheads. Purchase these at local hardware and building supply stores--most cost between one dollar and nine dollars. 2. Replace regular light bulbs with energy efficient bulbs. Burning an energy bulb requires less energy, which means power plants burn less coal and that produces less mercury in the air. 3. Never burn garbage, especially plastics or tires, in burn barrels on your property. These produce more toxins in the air than an industrial incinerator. Not only do you breathe these toxic fumes as the garbage burns, but the pollutants enter the lake when it rains. 4. Instead of burning garbage, recycle or compost what you can and throw away the rest. 5. Take your lawn and household hazardous materials to area Cleansweeps collection days in Ashland, Bayfield, Douglas, and Iron counties this summer. Call the Northwest Regional Planning Commission at 715-635-2197 for dates and locations of collections in your county. 6. Put your lawn on a chemical-free diet. Poisonous lawn herbicides and pesticides seep into waterways that end up in the lake and soil, which can hurt your family and neighbors. Lawn chemicals can also sicken or kill birds and pets. Bring these kinds of chemicals to a Cleansweep event where they are disposed of safely. 7. Never pour any liquids into a storm drain. Storm drains empty untreated liquids into a nearby river, stream, or Lake Superior. 8. When you re boating or fishing, inspect your boat and trailer and remove any plants and animals before leaving the water body. Drain water from the motor, live well, bilge, and transom before leaving the water body. Never release live bait fish in the water or live earthworms on the land or water. 9. When planning landscaping or gardening activities, use plants that are native to the region. Consult with garden centers or the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute for a list of the best native plants for this area. Learn what non-native species look like and additional prevention tips by contacting your local state or federal natural resource management agency and ask for information and identification material for non-native species. 10. Love it! When you care about something as grand as Lake Superior, you ll feel good about making sure it stays a Great Lake.

Another Place, Another Time with Coral Montana (Explore Your Spirit with Kala Metaphysical Talk Show)
from Explore Your Spirit with Kala June 02, 2008
In ANOTHER PLACE, ANOTHER TIME, Australian author C.D. Montana tells the amazing true story of how the spirit world taught her about her past life as the Lakota warrior Crazy Horse. Famous for his victory against General Custer and his troops in the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, the legendary Crazy Horse is an icon of American history. Montana describes her life-changing trips to the United States, where spirits led her on explorations through the Black Hills in South Dakota and the Beaver Valley in Nebraska, the lands that meant so much to Crazy Horse. Her feelings of belonging were unmistakable. And then the spirit world guided her to the grave of Crazy Horse—a site unknown to any living person. Montana also describes her past life karma and how it unfolded. In the author’s present life, Crazy Horse’s spirit was paid back for actions and deeds done against him that ultimately caused him to be killed. The breathtaking concrete evidence uncovered by Montana has led her to accept "without a doubt" that she once lived as Crazy Horse. More About C.D. Montana: C.D. MONTANA was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1950. She was 28 years old when she identified her first spiritual experience, when a close friend died and then immediately made contact with her. The recognition that came with this initial experience quickly led to a continual relationship with the spirit world, and she began feeling physical sensations from spirits—without realizing it, she was receiving messages from her spirit guide and others. She was truly made aware of the spirit world when she was led to research spirit guides in the year 2000, through which she learned the name of and began to directly communicate with her own guide, Maryanne. Montana learned that the spirit world wanted her to discover her past life as the Sioux warrior Crazy Horse. From that point in 2000, her life has been a series of episodes which confirm, with concrete evidence, this remarkable past life. More info at: www.coramarbooks.com

An Interview With Jim Standing Bear
from Psychjourney Podcasts May 22, 2008
Dr. Kevin Keough, host of the Warrior Traditions Podcast, interviews Jim Standing Bear. Jim Standing Bear Wheatley is a Comanche/Choctaw artist. His father was adopted and the road to discovering his ancestry has been a long and difficult. Jim's prayers come to him sometimes in the early morning with the sun, sometimes by a river bank, and sometimes when he is with his wife and son. Creating with the wood is his way of sharing what is inside. Even the wood is specially selected. Each piece must speak to his heart. Jim believes that using the pictures of the old ones is a way of honoring their lives and keeping their wisdom alive in all of our hearts.Some writings are original and some are quotes from great Native Americans of the past.... Special orders can be created if there is a saying or prayer that is meaningful to the person wanting the piece.The native peoples are very important to Jim. One of his greatest joys is speaking with the Elders and listening to their stories. Originally, the wood creations started because Jim had the need to share what was in his heart. He felt it was something he had to do. has become his way of getting in touch with his spiritual side. Visit the Dakota S.W. Traders website and the Tiger Mountain Ranch Resort website.
