4 CONTENTS 

Welcome to the October 2021 edition of The 

Barlborough,Clowne & Renishaw Doorsteppa. 

Our community was shaken recently with news of 

an unthinkable crime committed in Killamarsh. We 

cannot imagine what the victims families & friends 

are going through. St Giles Church, voluntary 

groups, well wishers, and local people of all ages 

came together as a community to offer support 

and raise funds. We have no doubts that will 

continue during this difficult time, and everyone at 

Doorsteppa sends our thoughts and prayers to all 

those effected by this senseless tragedy. 

In this month’s issue we have several events taking 

place locally. You can see details of what’s 

happening on pages 7, 17 and 41 for more 

information. 

As restrictions on foreign travel slowly ease we are 

pleasedthat our local ‘Travel Counsellor’ Lisa Byers 

is back with news of aholiday the family will never 

forget. Seeour Travel Section on page 15 for all the 

details on aLapland 2022 Special! 

Halloween is looming and recent studies have 

shown thatover 30% of people in theUKbelieve in 

ghosts. Jess Miller dives into the reasons why on 

page37. 

Our November issue is released on the 6th and if 

youwould likeacommunity/non-profit eventtobe 

listed please email doorsteppa@btinternet.com. All 

we ask isthat you provide exact wording by email 

before our pre published deadline, and space

19 TAROTSCOPES 

Karen Glazier 

www.karenglaziertarot.co.uk 

ARIES 21 March -20April 

Anyturmoil can only be dealt with by holding on tight and 

going with the flow. This phase willpass given time. Put emotions 

aside and use your head not your heart. Withdrawing into yourself 

and escaping into afantasy worldappeals but isn’tthe answer. 

Eventually, you’llhave to make astand! Is the input of a 

professionalrequired?Take heed of theadvice given and act 

accordingly. An older woman offers emotional support. 

TAURUS 21 April -21May 

You see how thelandliesinone situation at least and this is 

ablessing and acurse. All you can do is stand back and let 

events take their course. You’ve done all you can! Avoiding a 

sharpness of tongue improves future prospectsand thehope for 

better thingstocomeheld on to. Dig deep within to findyour inner 

strength and determination to succeed. It is there;bringingsupport 

and healing. 

GEMINI 22 May -21June 

Anothermajor monthfor you withthe main theme being 

patience. Proceed in abalanced, harmonious way whilst allowing 

yourself to go with the flow.Relationships of all kinds could be under 

thespotlightand you might do welltoseek advicefrom someone 

wiserthanyou. They won’t, necessarily,haveall theanswersbut they 

couldprovide food for thought.Bewareofnot being your ownworst 

enemy and becoming subjecttounhealthyobsessions. 

CANCER 22 June -23July 

Whetherit’syour actions or your decisions thereisastrong 

air of masculine energy around you this month. Forget thefrills; 

this is atime for anononsense approach. Firstly, to business. 

Potentially, thereare opportunities for careeroreven property 

matters. Unable to come to aconclusion? Getout into nature! 

Walking is great for clearing themindand finding focus. Need the 

input of aprofessional? Make haste and crack on! 

LEO 24 July-23 August 

Emotionally,thingscould be abit up and down withpromises 

not living up to expectations and people ready to offer assistance 

but only, really, able to offer words of wisdom and encouragement. 

The hard work and decisions are yours alone. Be realistic in your 

thoughts, make solidplans, focus, and get on with it! No 

prevarication, please. This is the start of ahealing phase as life, 

and your future, begin to look up. 

VIRGO 24 August-23 September 

Balance in thought,word, anddeed is of upmost importance. 

Particularly, thewords you use. Oncespoken youcannottakewords 

back and an inappropriate comment couldhaveaserious backlash. 

There’s an airofKarma aroundyou. Past deeds,goodand bad, are 

about to be repaid. Business negotiations couldgowell withyou and 

another startingout on apathtojoint success. Differingskillssee the 

partnership going fromstrengthtostrength. 

LIBRA 24 September -23October 

Overall thethemeisone of change, and change forthe 

better. You continue to be busy and can, at times, feel alittle 

overwhelmed. Be methodical! Make alistand complete jobs one 

at atime. Someone, or something, from the past reappears. 

You’renolonger theperson you were then and your reactions are 

different now. This is no bad thing! Communications come in thick 

and fast and you’ll need to respond quickly. 

SCORPIO 24 October -22November 

Two heads are better than one and mutual support benefits 

all.You consider joining forces with another. Great, but takeitnice 

and steady, both parties need to be on the same page. The 

future’s looking brighter so you canafford to be optimistic. Again, 

Karma has ahand in matters and past fortunes change, 

seemingly, for thebetter. Make the most of this time and let your 

wishes be known. TheUniverse is listening! 

SAGITTARIUS 23 November -21December 

If one situation isn’t working out as planned, or if someone is 

hellbent on dominating you, thebest course of action is to walk 

away, take time to gather yourself, and regroup. You can, and will, 

come back stronger than before and experience abetter outcome. 

Try not to be disheartened nor lose your perspective; this will 

pass in time. Fornow there’snoeasy solution and all you can 

do is be patient. 

CAPRICORN 22 December -20January 

Money matters improve. That isn’t aninvitation to go on a 

spending spree, moreasuggestion that thecoffersare settoswell 

and some investments intothe bank made. This leaves you feeling 

much happier and moresecure. Of course, you don’t need to 

become theultimate skinflint and alittlegenerosity,either towards 

yourself or others, is good. Just don’tgomad. Afew home 

improvements add something extra to thefeel-goodfactor. 

AQUARIUS 21 January -19February 

Recent times may havebeen difficult leaving you alittle 

world weary but you can put all that behind you as it’s onwards 

and upwards from hereon. That said, before youmove on to 

pastures new, it would be agood idea to ensure all loose ends 

are tiedupand apologies, whererequired, made. You can’t wait 

to be off but make sure you tidythe past away first. After that it’s 

all change. 

PISCES 20 February -20March 

Start withopen, honest communication with your nearest and 

dearest. You may have to take control to drive thingsforward but 

do listen to what others have to say. Their input is important. The 

services of aprofessional may be required. Thisisn’t the time to 

wear your heart on your sleeve but to rely on mercurial thought 

processes. Be fair in all your dealings withothersotherwise 

resentments could buildand, over time, fester.

Killamarsh Conservation Group 

This month Stephen 

Thompson of the 

Killamarsh Conservation 

Group gives anupdate 

on their wonderful 

wild flower project in 

the village. 

How beautiful was the 

wildflower patch on 

Bridge Street through 

the summer? Many 

people remarked on 

social media about the 

joy it brought when 

passing the ever 

increasing display of 

colours as the season 

progressed and the 

flowers came into full 

bloom. Killamarsh 

Conservation Group 

was delighted with the 

result following two 

weeks of really hard 

work back in April to 

get the site ready for 

the turves to be laid. 

For the first few weeks 

we kept an eye on the 

plantlets and watered 

the patch occasionally, 

but then asthey grew 

and blossomed, nature 

was left to fend for 

itself apart from acouple 

of cuts around the 

edges to the grass 

borders. 

As we gradually move 

into autumn and then 

winter, the "meadow" 

may become a bit 

unsightly and look 

uncared for, but this is 

a natural phase of a 

wildflower meadow as 

it will provide a vital 

habitat for wildlife 

through the hard 

winter months giving 

food and shelter to 

many invertebrates, 

25 LOCAL CHRONICLE 

small mammals and 

birds. Early next year, 

around February, the 

patch will be cut to 

allow new growth in 

the spring. 

Killamarsh Conservation 

Group has plans for 

further patches around 

the village andwehope 

these will provide just 

as much enjoyment to 

passers-by in the 

future. 

In the meantime we 

areverygratefultothe

assistance in 

recommending us for

Community Leadership

37 MONTHLYFOCUS 

Recentstudiesshow that between 

30-40% of people in the UK are 

believe in ghosts, with those aged 

between 18and 34 most likely to 

believe in paranormal activity. In 

theUSfigures aremuch higher. 

Unlikely as it seems, ghosts and 

hauntings are amainstream area 

of belief, and this belief is global, 

with most cultures around the 

world having some widely 

accepted types of ghosts. But why 

are people so keen to believe 

when the existence of aghost as a 

disembodied soul or spirit of a 

dead person directly contradicts 

the laws of science? 

In literature ghosts address some 

basic human needs, including the 

desire for justice. Shakespeare’s 

Hamletisvisitedbythe ghost of his 

murdered father seeking revenge 

on Claudius, his murderer; and in 

Macbeth the murdered Banquo 

appears at abanquet both as a 

reminderofMacbeth's guilt and to 

foreshadow more deaths to come. 

In Kenya, amurdered person may 

become a ngoma, a spirit who 

pursues their murderer, sometimes 

causing them to give 

themselfuptothe police. In Russia 

the rusalka is the spirit of adead 

woman who died by drowning and 

then lures mentotheir death. 

But ghosts are not always 

vengeful, they can also be friends 

and protectors. In Charles Dickens’ 

A Christmas Carol, Ebenezer 

Scrooge ishelped bythree ghosts 

to mend his cruel andhard hearted 

waysbefore it’stoo late.Inthe film 

Sixth Sense, aghost helps ayoung 

boy to come to terms with his 

ability to see dead people. 

Many people like to believe that 

death isnot the end of existence. 

They are comforted by thinking 

that their deceased loved ones are 

watching over them. It can also 

helpthemface theideaofour own 

mortality. Most of us believe that 

our physicalbeing is separate from 

our consciousness which means 

it's not a huge leap for us to 

entertain the idea that our mind 

could have an existence separate 

from our body and thus that our 

mind or consciousness could 

survive death. Some people even 

believe that the dead can 

communicate with the living 

through mediums and spiritualism. 

It seems our love of the 

paranormal runs deep and 

Halloween isthe perfect time to 

indulge.
