** STEELHEAD CITY STUFF **
- November is Mystery Month in Steelhead City.
- Management and councilors will be setting up several different mysteries for you to solve all over the city. More information to come.
- Management has had to return some items back to landowners because of script times. We do it only when its taking up alot of CPU usage and when no one’s around. So just a heads up there.
- Once a week Tensai will start doing hard restarts. Turning off scripts first and rebooting the sim. We'll try and do this over the weekend at some odd time when no one's around.
- Welcome to Miss LadyDawn Starbrook's storefront in Steelhead Capital City close to Garth's goods. Purveyor of artwork quilts and tables.
- Steelhead Harborside revamping is near completion. A few upgrades to the bigger structures and she'll be done. Residents, thank you for being patient as Lunar has been upgrading the sim. If there are stray prims loose, please let him know. The big bridge will undergo some upgrades and the entrance from Steelhead to Harborside has to be worked on before its done.
- Steelhead Port Harbor residents: The entire pier section will be redone hopefully without having to move anyone’s prims around in an effort to upgrade the city.
- Steelhead Mt St Helens: Lunar will be calling on residents that have been on the waiting list for St. Helens first before opening the sim to prebooking. We'll see the map on the ground in a few days.
- Steelhead Spookiest House winner is Miss Tibouchina Freschi and her haunted house/cemetery and all around spooky place.
** RANDOM ACTS OF ROLEPLAY **
- The Case of the Squiddy Thing: A body was fed to the Squiddy Thing located on the property of Doctor Alter's Evil Tiny Kitty Labs last Friday. The identity of the body is unknown.

We welcome other forms and characters into the community whether it be group or personal. Dragons, Timelords, Girl Geniuses, Fantasy Creatures, Teachers, Lawyers, Librarians...we welcome a variety of different RP communities to Steelhead and offer our community as a platform for them to expand their characters. That being said, we also wish for residents and visitors to respect each other’s character. Please do not force your storyline roleplay on those that do not wish to be involved. We want the roleplay to be optional in this community to be fair to those who want to play within storylines and to those who want to live out their quiet lives at home.
In the event of business, state, conflict mediation, and/or technical matters we (being management of Steelhead) respectfully request that you step out of character in private messages to better resolve the situation without confusion.

- Vendors Trick or Treat Hunt: We'll be distributing a candy prim to all of the merchants in Steelhead. If they would like to participate, they can hide the candy with a prize somewhere in their store for our trick or treaters. We'll send out more information later.
** STEELHEAD LIBRARY STUFF **
- The Library has no events this week. The ongoing exhibit about Portland's Chinatown will remain open until about Nov. 1.
- We are looking for people who would like to do a winter holiday exhibit (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hannukah, or other - appropriate to Steelhead's theme and period). Also for people to lead book or movie discussions. Please contact Riven Homewood or CeAire Decosta if you're interested.
** STEELHEAD CITY STUFF **
- Again congratulations to Tanarian Davies for winning the tartan contest. We hope to see some interesting creations now that we have a city tartan *cough kilts *cough Copy of the tartan will be sent with the meeting minutes.
- Ground Textures: In the meeting minutes we're sending you a notecard of the ground texture lists for Steelhead. This winter Tensai will be working on sculpted snow for sidewalks. Please change out your spring gardens as its fall.
- We still have land available in Steelhead, several 512's and smaller lots. I am sending an updated list of all the properties available in Steelhead. Please take time to look if you're interested or to send to someone who is interested in land in Steelhead.
- Manholes in Steelhead
It's been one of the civic projects of Lunar for awhile. The manholes you find are actually teleports down to the tunnel systems below for Steelhead, Boomtown and Shanghai. If you're underground, simply touch the ladder to return to the surface. If you want to go below, touch the manhole covers to go underground and explore. Eladrienne Laval has been creating some unique cover designs that will be unique to each city. So thank you and Kudos to her.
- As Steelhead has gone through changes, the red ballroom, the town hall, the saloon, even the iconic lighthouse landmark prominently featured on our flag has changed. We're making changes to the flag as well to update Steelhead... thank you to Nabila for sewing us a new flag as well.
- Our own Sheriff Ortega wrote an article about Steelhead Shanghai for the most recent issue of the Primgraph Magazine.
** OTHER RANDOM STUFF IN THE STEAMLANDS **

There will be 4 contestants in the main event, which shall consist of three rounds. Each round will have a different theme or topic which must somehow be incorporated into the limerick - rather like the secret ingredient.
Our contestants are:
VelesJaeger Munster
Hotspur O'Toole
PJ Trenton
Iason Hassanov
You STILL have the chance to judge this fun event! How? Simply send Eva Bellambi a notecard in world with your name indicating that you wish to judge the competition AND what you are bidding/donating for the honor of being a judge. The three top bidders/donators will judge the main event. Please get your notecards to Eva as soon as possible. After the main event, there will be the opportunity for all others to share in the fun - A Limerick Melee! Popular vote will determine this winner. Donation kiosks will be available throughout the event.
There is a serious side to this event, of course. Not only will we be collecting donations for the BoobieThon (Susan G. Koman Foundation), but we will also be providing education about MEN and Breast Cancer. This is meant to be an event to highlight this little thought of group of breast cancer patients.
