From The Editor’s Desk.
Joe Korba
Halloween is, hands down, my favorite holiday. I love the fall in general, the leaves changing, pumpkin flavored everything and just the crisp way the air smells. I’m also a huge horror movie fan, so the many horror film marathons are an added bonus. I don’t throw Halloween parties on the same level that I used to in college, think fog machines, loud music, a witches cauldron of libations, the constant threat of visits from the friendly Bloomsburg PD for noise violations. Those were the days. The past few years my friends and I make it a point to head out to see a punk band, The World/ Inferno Friendship Society, play their annual Halloween concert/party in Philly or NYC. It’s always crazy, everyone is in costume partying and listening to the Inferno’s indescribable music, a mix of punk, lounge, cabaret…it’s truly a singular experience. Last year’s show was at Union Transfer in Philly (Best Venue in the city, and probably the East Coast) and our group of about fifteen people dressed up as characters from the Mortal Kombat series of videogames and movies. Riding the
subway with people wearing masks and carrying ninja weapons certainly turns some heads. This year I’ll be spending a good part of October at Disney World for the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival with my fiancé Jess. It will be our third trip to Orlando in October; there really isn’t a better time of year to go in my opinion. The weather is beautiful, not too hot, and you can try delicious food and wine from around the world. The spicy tuna roll at the Japan booth is the best. Well, I think I’ve adequately defended my position that October, not December, is, in fact, “the most wonderful time of the year.”

29th Season for Bach and Handel The Bach and Handel Chorale opens its 29th concert season with its series of Christmas Concerts. The first concert is on December 1, at 3:00 p.m. in historic St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 21 Race Street, Jim Thorpe. This concert will feature two Chorale members as soloists: Soprano Angela Mosley and Baritone Edward Sayre. Mrs. Mosley opens the concert with “Once in Royal David’s City” by Henry Gauntlett as the Chorale joins her and processes into St. Mark’s. Mr. Sayre provides the baritone solo for “Gesu Bambino (The Infant Jesus)” by Pietro A. Yon. In addition, Sophia Samoleski, piano student of Maestro Randall D. Perry, Chorale Artistic Director, and voice student of Joel Sager joins the Chorale at St. Mark’s only for the soprano solo in “Morning Star, O Cheering Sight” by Francis Florentine Hagen. Other selections sung by the Chorale are Giovanni Pergolesi’s “Glory to God in the Highest”;“There Is a Flower Springing”, a German song arranged by Mr. Perry; “Tambourine Noel”by Gordon Young; “God Rest You Merry Gentleman” by Linda Spevacek-Avery; “No Golden Carriage” by Gilbert Martin and “Herrscher des Himmels, erhore das Lallen” (from The Christmas Oratorio –BVW 248) by Johann Sebastian Bach; “Rejoice and Be Merry” by John Rutter; and “Hallelujah Chorus” from “Messiah” by George Frideric Handel . Always a popular part of the Christmas Concert are Carols with the Audience: “O Come All Ye Faithful”, “Angels We Have Heard on High”, “Silent Night” and “Joy to the World”. The Chorale and audience join in singing these familiar carols. Two more Christmas Concerts are scheduled in outlying areas: Saturday, December 8 at 3:00 p.m. at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 106 Main Street,
Ringtown, (570) 889-5203 and Sunday, December 9 at 3:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, 1249 Trexlertown Rd., Trexlertown, (610) 395-4571. Tickets for the St. Mark’s Episcopal Church Concert are $12.00, but children 10 and under are free. These tickets may be purchased in Jim Thorpe at Dimmick Memorial Library, 62 Broadway; Naturally Yours, 103 Broadway; and by mail at the Bach and Handel Chorale Office, 810 Carbon Avenue, Jim Thorpe. Each ticket includes a tear off for a 15% discount on one entrée at the following restaurants: in Jim Thorpe, Bear Appétit, Broadway Grille & Pub, Crave at the Albright Mansion, Dom N Ali, Moya, Through the Looking Glass; in Nesquehoning, Macaluso’s; and in Lehighton, P.J. Whelihan’s at Platz’s. Celebrate the season with a concert and dinner. In addition, make a regular purchase on line but stop first at www.buy4.com/bhchorale and a portion of the proceeds from your sale will be donated to The Bach and Handel Chorale. It’s a great way to do your shopping for the holidays and help the Chorale to raise funds to provide concerts to our communities.

Paranormal Researcher to Present Lizzie Borden Program By Candlelight
Submitted by: Julia Swan World renowned paranormal researcher A.J. Rauber will present his lecture, The Lizzie Tapes-A Paranormal Case Study, by candlelight at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3 at The Governor Wolf Historical Society, 6600 Jacksonville Road, Bath. The presentation is an in-depth look at two different paranormal investigations of the infamous Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, Mass. The house was the scene of a gruesome double homicide on Aug. 4, 1892 and is reputed to be haunted. Both investigations were filmed for TV shows. Rauber has been in the field of paranormal research for more than 45 years and has investigated haunting and poltergeist cases throughout the U.S. and in Europe. He has been featured on and consulted for a number of television shows, including Sightings, The Other Side, The Paranormal Borderline, Encounters, Unsolved Mysteries and specials for The History Channel and The Travel Channel. He was most recently filmed for The History Channel series MonsterQuest. Rauber’s televised investigations have been shown all over the world. The Northampton based speaker is a current member of Haunted New

A Touch of Dutch 15 Oktower, 1953 Die Walniss sin widder am Falle un mer grickt widder ganz braune Hend vum ausschaale. Ich vergess sei Lewes net, wie ich braune Hend ghatt hab mol, wie ich en grutzicher Schpringer waar un mer sin uff Bsuch gange mol ee Sunndaag zu deel vun meine Cousins, wo im Schteddel gewohnt henn. Sie hen gschpeddelt un gelacht iwwer mei Hend, graad wie mer ewwer eckschpeckde kann, as so schtadt Rutzer deede. Awwer ich hab sie zimmlich glei wisse losse, as ich aa Walniss hett fer esse un sie hedde kenni. Wiffel vun eich hen selli Schtori schunt gheert, wo mol paar Kalls Walniss gschtohle hen un hen sie noh verdeelt hinnich der Karrichhofmauer, eb sie heem sin? Sie hen sie in gleiche roie glegt. No hot eener gsaagt, „Die do Roi is mei un die do Roi iss dei“, bis sie all verdeelt waare. Wie sie des am Duh waare, iss eener an der Mauer verbei gange un hot des gheert. Es iss ihm bang warre un er iss an’s Schpringe. Wie er heemkumme iss, hot er gsaagt, er waar an der Karrichhofmauer verbei un er deet glaawe, as der Gott un der Deiwel am Dode verdeele waere, er hett sie heere saage, „Die do Roi is mei un die do Roi is dei.“ -Florence Baver [Henn ihr selli Schtori gheert, wann ihr am Uffwaxe waare? Mei Mudder hot mich verzehlt ihre Memm, mei Grossmudder, hot’s glese aus me alt deitsch Buch, wann sie yung waar. Un sell waar in de zwansicher Yaahre. Wann ihr en schee Gedicht weeich dem lese wott, guckt ihr em D. George Knecht sei Gedicht, „Eens fer mich, eens fer dich“ uff. Es waar erscht gedruckt warre in der Morning Call Zeiting an 21 Nowember, 1953, baut ee Monet nooch der Florence ihre Schtick do. Verleicht kann ich es neischicke schpeeder zu daerre Zeiting.]
October 15, 1953 The walnuts are again falling from the trees and we will again have brown hands from shelling them. I will never ever forget how I had brown hands once when I was a small girl and we went visiting some of my cousins one Sunday. They heckled and laughed because I had brown hands, right like one can always expect that saucy city children [the politically correct words] would. But I let them know right away that I also had walnuts to eat and they did not. How many of you have already heard that story, where once two fellows stole walnuts and divided them between themselves behind the cemetery wall before they went home? They first laid them out in even rows. Then one said, “This here row is mine and this here row is yours,” until they were done. While they were doing that someone walked by the cemetery wall and heard what they said. That person became afraid and he took to running. When he came home he said he went by the cemetery wall and he believed God and the devil were dividing out the souls; he heard them say, “This here row is mine, and this here row is yours.” [Have you heard that story when you were growing up? My mother told me that her mother, my grandmother, read that story out of an old Dutch book, when she was young. And that was in the 20’s. If you want to read a nice poem about this subject, look up D. George Knecht’s poem, ‘One for me, one for you.’ It was first printed in the “Morning Call” on November 21, 1953, about one month after this Florence Baver article. Maybe I can send in that poem to this paper at a later date.]

Stop Zombie Mouth
(NAPSI)—This Halloween, the Tooth Fairy will have unlikely allies: a horde of humorous, familyfriendly undead creatures dedicated to eradicating the dreaded “zombie mouth” syndrome. To help raise awareness of oral health among children and their parents during Halloween, the American Dental Association (ADA), the leading source of oral health−related information, and video game developer PopCap Games have kicked off “Stop Zombie Mouth,” a program featuring the G-rated hit video game, “Plants vs. Zombies.” The “Stop Zombie Mouth” campaign features
BIRTHDAY COUPON

Walnutport, Pa. 18088-9574 Name_______________________________________________ Age on Birthday__________ Birthdate__________________ Male/Female____________ Phone_____________________ Address_____________________________________________ E-Mail_______________________________________________ One person per issue will be randomly chosen to win a FREE Birthday Cake from The Ice Cream Lab, Walnutport Must pick up coupon at Town & Country Gazette office to receive free cake
coupons for free copies of the award-winning game as a tooth-friendly alternative to candy for Halloween. PopCap will give away millions of copies of the game along with more than a million free packs of game-inspired trading cards and other themed items. The trading cards will feature dozens of the game’s beloved “fundead” icons and will have tips for kids to help keep their teeth healthy during the sugary holiday. Parents and other adults who host trick-ortreating children on Halloween can pick up free game coupons (redeemable for the full PC/Mac edition of “Plants vs. Zombies”) from participating ADA member dentists or by downloading them directly from www.stopzombiemouth.com. “Tooth decay results in more than 51 million hours of missed school each year. Diet plays an important role in oral health: Too much sugar can lead to cavities down the road,” explained Dr. William Calnon, president of the ADA. “Tooth decay in children is almost entirely preventable,” added Dr. Jonathan Shenkin, ADA spokesperson on pediatric dentistry. “Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and eating a balanced diet can lead to improved oral health and improved overall health. Working collaboratively, we can educate whole families in a fun way about the importance of proper oral health behaviors.”

The Skinny on Keratin Treatments…
By Laura Stauffer A lot of people have come into the Salon and have wanted to know what keratin treatments are, what are they useful for and are they as bad for you as the news has shown? So this month I thought I would shed some light on the whole keratin treatment idea. What is it and what is it good for? Keratin itself is a natural material that we are all born with all over in our skin, nails and especially in our hair. It gives our hair health, life and shine. As we process, blow dry, straighten and have every day wear and tear on our hair, we damage and lose keratin in our hair making it look fizzy, dull and lifeless. Keratin treatments are a professional salon treatment that helps replace and restore that keratin to your hair. Because keratin treatments replace that valuable keratin into your hair they

are good to tame fizziness and smooth the hair. Are they as bad as some news stories have said? Well that is a tricky question to answer. The answer is…it depends. It depends on what kind of keratin treatment are you using. If you are using a chemical keratin treatment, yes, they have been shown to contain formaldehyde in them

and through the process of straightening with a flat iron the heat causes the formaldehyde to go airborne and can cause health concerns when inhaled. BUT if you are using a keratin treatment that is certified organic it is extremely safe to use because it does not contain formaldehyde! At Miracolo Bella Hair & Wellness Spa we have chosen to use the KeraGreen Natural Keratin & Protein Smoothing System so that we can have a healthy alternative to all the chemicals in traditional treatments. It still eliminates frizz, tames curls, seals in color, but it is not heavy or greasy and is non toxic. The only draw back to this treatment for some is that you have to wait three days after you have a keratin treatment to wash your hair again and you must leave your hair straight without bending it while you are in the three day waiting period. But let me tell you the results far outweigh the three day wait! So next time you are looking to give your hair a healthy boost and you are thinking keratin, ask your stylist if it is formaldehyde free and certified organic so neither of you are breathing that in!

It's scary how fast Halloween is creeping up on us! This year why not throw a spectacularly spooky bash with a Hallow-winning recipe? Your costumed creatures will howl with fright-night delight to the very last bite. Be sure to invite this creepy 8-legged friend to the party. Our Spider Dip Bowl is the perfect addition to your menu. The kids can pull off his legs for dipping and you can bake up a platter full of extra legs. Pizza is always a hit and this Spider Web Pepperoni one will entice even the fiercest little ghoul. Make several because once they start gobblin' them down they will disappear fast. Any little tummy will love these Yummy Mummy Dogs. Simply roll thawed dough into a rope, wind it around a hot dog and bake them in your oven. In just minutes you'll have a memorable meal all wrapped up! Wholesome frozen dough is the trick to putting together lots of people-pleasing recipes for the most frightfully fun festivities on the block.
Spider Dip Bowl
20 Rhodes™ Dinner Rolls or 12 Rhodes Texas™ Rolls, thawed but still cold • 1/4 cup butter, melted 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese • garlic salt • marinara sauce •small tube black gel frosting Combine 10 1/2 dinner rolls or 7 Texas rolls into a ball for the body and place on sprayed baking sheet. Shape 1 1/2 dinner rolls combined or 1 Texas roll into an oval and place next to the body for head. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let rise until double. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. While body is baking, roll 8 dinner rolls or 4 Texas rolls cut in half into eight, 10-inch ropes for legs. Dip legs in melted butter and then in parmesan cheese. Place on a sprayed baking sheet in a tall, curved shape to resemble spider legs. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 30-45 minutes. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. Cut an X with a knife in 4 places along both sides of the cooled body on the top edge. Push one end of a cooled, curved leg into each of the X's. Cut a circle out of the top of the body and pull out the bread, leaving bread around the inserted legs to stabilize them. Line the dip bowl with plastic wrap if desired. Fill the dip bowl with marinara sauce for dipping. Use black frosting gel to squeeze two beady eyes onto cooled spider head. Use more rolls to make extra legs for dipping, if desired.

ULTIMATE EXPERIENCES IN GRUELING ByT ERROR Joe Korba I’m a lifelong horror movie fan, love ‘em, from classics starring Boris Karloff and Lon Chaney Jr. to 80’s slashers and even newer foreign horror like the no-holds barred Haute Tension directed by Alexandre Aja, and all the other great, intense genre films coming from Europe lately. So, in honor of Halloween, I’ve compiled a short list of some of, what I consider to be, the scariest horror movies of all time.
The House of the Devil
– Director Ti West released this gem in 2009, although you probably wouldn’t have guessed that it came out in the last three decades. West modeled House after 1980’s “Satanism scare” movies that were popular during the era when teenagers playing Dungeons & Dragons and Judas Priest records were considered legit public enemies. House capitalizes on those fears. West is a stylish director with a deep knowledge Actor Tom Noonan, being menacing as always of what made those 80’s films scary. He takes a relatively mundane situation, college girl gets a babysitting job, and slowly and methodically ratchets up the tension until it’s nearly unbearable. The atmosphere and a great performance by the lead, Jocelin Donaue, as well as a wonderful supporting part by veteran character actor Tom Noonan (Manhunter) add to the awesomeness that is The House of the Devil.
Jacob’s Ladder – This is the type of movie that gets under your skin, with terrifying imagery, a haunting atmosphere and a tone so depressing you might not want to watch it twice. Tim Robbins plays a disturbed Vietnam Vet who returns to his home in NYC after being wounded in battle. Once he is back in the states, horrifying visions begin to plague him. He eventually meets up with other veterans from his unit who claim to be seeing the same demons and hallucinations. The film poses the question if what the soldiers are seeing is actually real, or if they are suffering from collective post-traumatic stress syndrome. The truth, when revealed, is even more horrifying than they can ever imagine. The Shining – Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 Stephen King adaptation is widely considered to be one of the best horror films of all time, with good reason. Since the film’s release King has come out on many occasions against the liberties Kubrick took with the source material, but the iconic director’s cold, clinical style made it an atmospheric and terrifying masterpiece. The visuals in the movie alone are the stuff of nightmares; elevators flooding deserted hotel lobbies with seas of blood, the ghostly twins that only the young protagonist can see. The most memorable thing about The Shining is easily Jack Nicholson’s performance as an alcoholic writer descending into madness. Nicholson stalking down the hallways of The Overlook hotel with a fire axe ranks among the most iconic images in horror, and really all of film. • Nicholson, going crazy

The Fall
James R Snyder, pastor Maranatha Family Christian Fellowship
The Fall. It’s coming. Apples. Leaves. Sunsets. School. Change. The time of year when days are still hot, nights are cool, and skies are…well…gorgeous. Trees are baring their branches. Grass is fading to brown. The earth is preparing for winter. This is the season I look forward to every year. I love the Fall. The Fall. It happened. Apples. (Well, forbidden fruit.) Leaves. (The figgy kind.) Sunsets. (The sun did go down on mankind’s glory days.) School. (Some really hard lessons learned.) Change. (Everything altered.) The time in our history when God’s love was hot, man’s passion was cold, and skies were…well… probably gorgeous, on the other side of the fog. Trees are stripped. The grass is suffering from dehydration. The earth is bemoaning perpetual winter. The season no one looks back on with fondness. I love the Fall. What?! Can you say that again? I love the Fall. The season. And the fall of man. Yes, it messed up creation. Yes, it made people ugly. Yes, it even made work harder and less rewarding. But without it where would be redemption – that beautiful, dynamic, life-saving, life-changing power at work in us? Without it there would be no need for a Savior. Without it Jesus Christ is not necessary. What a loss this world would be at! The creator doesn’t show his face. We go on not knowing what God is really like. We would never know hope – that crazy, youwouldn’t-believe-me-if-I-told-you expectation of good in the midst of controversy, confusion, and chaos. Love would be taken for granted, and faith would be a dream rather than “the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not seen.” It takes a loss to appreciate what you have. The loss of innocence woke us up to the wonder of God’s redemptive heart. A promise – the seed of the woman will crush the serpent’s head – and light

begins to rise on the shadowy horizon. When the time was ripe, the Light of the world entered his blackened creation in the middle of the night, in a musty, messy cave-stable. With hope. The kind of hope a mother hangs on to in the midst of labor pains. The kind of hope that ignites an unemployed man when he is called for his second interview. The kind of hope Fall holds looking forward to Spring. I love the Fall. The season. The smells. The foods. The beauty. And the promise of Spring. I love the Fall. Of man. Not the sin. Not the repercussions. Not the ugliness. But the beauty of the hope of change. I love the Fall. Because it promises eternal Spring.

Six Questions About Long-Term Care (NAPSI)—One of the most common objections to buying long-term care insurance is the notion that you can pay for long-term care services yourself if and when those services are needed. According to Mutual of Omaha Vice President Brad Buechler, however, there are many reasons self-funding may not be in your best interests. Ask yourself these six questions: 1. What about your spouse? Even if you think you have enough money to pay for long-term care, think about what will happen if you need care for several years and the financial impact on your spouse’s retirement and future care.

2. Have you considered the tax implications? Most people don’t have money set aside specifically for long-term care. That means they may have to liquidate assets. When that happens, capital gains tax, income tax and potential penalties can all take a bite out of the returns those assets were expected to generate.

Six Questions About Long-Term Care 3. Are you prepared to invade your plan? People with significant assets generally have a plan for those assets. No one wants to use money that’s been set aside for retirement or a child’s inheritance to pay for long-term care services. You don’t want to have to cash in an asset meant to fund something else. 4. Have you thought about the cost of lost opportunity? Even if you have funds specifically to pay for long-term care services, that money must be invested so there’s enough available to pay for care 10, 15 or 20 years down the road. That could require setting aside a large sum or investing conservatively to ensure money will be available when needed. If you purchase long-term care insurance, you may be able to invest more aggressively and earn higher returns on your retirement nest egg. 5. Can you really save enough? There are a lot of “what ifs” when it comes to investing your own money to pay for long-term care services. What if you don’t save enough? What if your assets don’t earn enough interest? And the biggest “what if”: What if you need long-term care tomorrow? There’s no guarantee anyone will have 10 or 20 years to save.
6. Are you sure you’ll get the care you need? Most people who say they’ll self-fund are reluctant to use long-term care services because they know the cost is coming out of their own pockets. For more information, visit their website at www.mutualofomaha.com.

Erected in the center of Dachau Concentration Camp, the memorial, translated into four languages, serves as a reminder of the atrocities that took place during the Second World War. -Chrissy Zopf Photo
Touring Germany: Arriving in Munich and Dachau By Chrissy Zopf On June 30, the American GAPP students and myself settled into our final youth hostel in Munich, Germany. Our tour bus left us, and we now had to brave the German public transportation system. We were all given maps of the subway, but I don't think I ever opened mine and I eventually
discarded it. After settling into our rooms, we met in the lobby of the hostel and headed into the city to find dinner and go shopping. Finding dinner was a challenge itself. Using a map of the city we found, we tried to find an Italian restaurant, but in the end we could not navigate the map. A woman nearby saw us struggle and tried to help

us, but we still could not follow her directions, so we set off in search of something else. While there were many restaurants, most were not in the price range of my group of friends. When we did find an inexpensive restaurant, nothing on the menu appealed to me, and I ate dessert for dinner. Afterward, when we tried to find stores we could afford to shop at, we realized that all shops close at 8 p.m. on a Saturday. We wandered around the city until we found other people we knew, and then continued to wander, adding more people to our group as we went along. When we returned to the hostel we had little time before we had to be in our rooms before lights out at 10 p.m. When I did return to my room, there was a swarm of moths and mosquitoes hovering near the ceiling. The hostels we had stayed at, including this one, were not air conditioned, so my room mates and I had opened every window. That is until our room became the dwelling place for the bugs that had been attracted by the greenery outside the windows. We chose to close all the windows; we would rather be hot than bitten by bugs while we slept. The next morning when I woke up, I already knew it was going to be a long day. Our group would be going to Dachau, the concentration camp where countless victims lost their lives during the second World War. We entered the camp under the phrase most camps held above their gate, Arbeit Macht Frei, or work will make you free. What lay beyond was desolate; a work yard, stone walkways, and the barracks lay before us. We walked towards a building, which now served as a memorial museum for a short movie on Hitler's rein and Nazism. Afterward we were free to walk the camp, going through the buildings and viewing the memorials that had been erected. Although there were many people touring Dachau that day, it was eerily silent. As I walked I couldn't help but think that at the very spot I was standing, someone had been tortured, someone had lost their life, and it was all out of hatred and a struggle for a fantasized “superior race.” My friends and I walked through the barracks, the churches, and finally the gas chambers. It was sobering to stand in a room where the dead were stored until they could be cremated, and also disturbing. I quickly realized it is much different to learn about the holocaust than to actually be walking where the victims had walked, seeing what they saw. I realized the horror of it while there, walking through a gas chamber where men, women, and children had been tricked, believing they would be bathed, only to die by the hands of Zyklon B and the Nazis. Back at the center of Dachau a memorial stood with the words, “May the example of those who were exterminated here
Page 53
between 1933-1945 because they resisted Nazism help to unite the living for the defence of peace and freedom and in respect for their fellow man.” The words spoke to me. Standing in Dachau, I was oppressed by an overwhelming sadness for the victims who had lost their lives, and their surviving descendants who would never forget the force of Nazism. I hope that history never repeats itself. After leaving Dachau our group took a bus to the Olympic Stadium, where we ascended to the top of the nearby tower. Being so high up was not my forte, and I immediately sat down so I did not have to see the way we were towering over the surrounding city. After five minutes my friends and I were back safely on the ground, enjoying the weather outside of the tower, waiting for the rest of our group. Our day ended with time to explore BMW World. I lack an interest in cars, so instead of walking around and admiring various BMWs, my friend Jenna and I chose to talk instead. Dachau had been a sobering experience that weighed on me for most of the day. I doubt I will ever forget Dachau for as long as I live. Although it left me feeling somber, I knew I only had one day left in Germany, and I would make the most of it. The group headed back to the youth hostel to see what the night had in store.

High on Horror -Why We Pay Big Bucks to Be Scared brush up against something (or, perhaps, for the machine to turn on by itself, shredding the hand inside a la Stephen King), or why we might refuse to put our leg out of the covers at night. This, too, is why we keep creepy haunted houses busy at Halloween, why we tell ghost stories around the campfire and why we turn out for horror movies like they were giving away free popcorn. It's because we like it. For more information, visit www.7artspictures.com.
(NewsUSA) - We crave chills. It's why we get a rush when we see Jason take his axe to some unsuspecting teen in "Friday the 13th" or why we can't seem to look away when Carrie, dripping with pig's blood, incinerates her entire high-school class. While mesmerizing, to be sure, the real question is: why do we pay for the pleasure of being scared? On this, there are various schools of thought. Some believe that fans of horror (be it movies or books) don't actually experience fear, but are excited instead, while others believe that people are willing to endure the terror because they know there is no real threat, that they are essentially safe. Still others feel that moviegoers are willing to be scared in order to feel a sense of euphoric relief at the end. Whatever the reason, movie studios like Seven Arts Pictures, a Los Angeles-based indie movie production company, are counting on customers who are willing to pay to be petrified, by releasing a horror flick like "Night of the Demons." In the movie, three friends attend a party held in a mansion where, years prior, six people disappeared and the owner hung herself. "We think that people have a morbid fascination with the dark side," said Peter Hoffman, CEO of Seven Arts. "So even though a horror movie might be illogical on an intellectual level, people still like to be uncomfortable on an emotional level. It's about people facing their fears," he added. Which makes sense and explains why many of us have (reluctantly) stuck our hand down the garbage disposal, just waiting for our fingers to

Extra Point by Tyler Trumbauer
Senior Leadership is Driving the Tigers
Northwestern Lehigh is dominating the Colonial League soccer world this fall. Last month I wrote about the lady Tigers’ success, but the gentleman are a powerhouse as well. With both boys’ and girls’ soccer league playoffs getting underway this week, the boys are the #2 seed and the girls are the #1 seed respectively. Both of their first round games are scheduled to be played before this column goes to print. The boys finished the regular season with an 11-2 record in the Colonial League. That mark gave them first place in the North Division of the CL. Their league season started out with a win over Southern Lehigh and then a tough defeat at the hands of Saucon Valley. Head coach, Nathan Hunsicker, kept his team focused and it showed it out on the field. Such a nice record at the end of a grueling season takes hard work and Hunsicker outlined what was done, “We worked out a few

kinks and we had a couple nice, long win streaks and a couple big wins along the way. We just gelled as a team through the weeks and months.” The biggest attribute for this squad is their defending.On offense and defense they can thwart any offensive attack. Don’t get me wrong, offensively this team can play with the best of them, as they put up more than five goals in three league contests this season. This team commands the field. Their communication is very good and they own the field while they are playing. It is mainly because of their three captains, Senior Daniel Masetti, Junior Matthew Harshey and Senior Isiah Danner. Also, Hunsicker mentioned Senior Boston Furjanic as a field leader and talked about his contributions to this dominant team, “He has had a lot of key, game-winning goals for us and makes a lot of hustle plays for us as well. He is just the spark plug on the team. He gets the boys ready to play and puts everyone in good spirits.” The nine seniors on the squad nurture the success and contribute experience which the underclassmen are learning from. As I mentioned before, both soccer squads from Northwestern have made it to the Colonial League playoffs. The opening round for the boys is Monday, October 15 and Tuesday, October 16

Girl of the Month Slatington Woman’s Club - October, 2012
C
asey Gavalla
Casey Gavalla of Slatington has been named the Girl of the Month for October 2012 by the Slatington Women’s Club. Casey has lived in Slatington for fourteen years with her parents and sister. Her mother, Maria, has been a mammography specialist at St. Lukes Hospital for twenty-seven years. Her father, George, is the Director of Operations at Lehigh Valley Hospital and has been there for ten years. Her sister Carly is currently in her sophomore year in the nursing program at Bloomsburg. She also has an adorable dog named Rylie and a cute cat named Chloe. Sports have been a big part of Casey’s life since she was little. She has been involved with soccer since she was six and played on several club teams throughout the years. She has played for club teams in NLYAA, Northampton soccer club, and also several fundraiser/tournament teams. Decorating floats for the annual Halloween parade each year will always be one of her happy memories from soccer. Another sport that is extremely important to Casey and one that has a special place in her heart is field hockey. She has been a part of field hockey for six years and has just recently earned captain of the varsity team. Over the past summer, she volunteered as a helper for the middle school players. Casey said this

experience has helped her to enjoy the sport more than she already did. School activities are also extremely important to Casey; she is involved in SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions), Spanish Club, several committees, and she manages the boy’s high school basketball team. This past month, the field hockey team adopted an “Angel” from the Angel 34 program and has an opportunity to help a family with a member battling cancer. Casey takes great pride in being involved with that and loved helping to make any slight difference possible. Casey has received the American Citizenship Award and the Coach’s Award from East Stroudsburg University’s field hockey coaches in regards to leadership, enthusiasm, and positive attitude. She also was selected for the People to People Ambassadors program as a representative of our country to travel to Spain, France, and Italy. Casey has been on Principal’s list and High Honor Roll throughout high school. Casey is very close with her family and she enjoys spending holidays with them, watching football games, cooking and enjoying Italian food, and a yearly summer vacation to the beach. She also loves to walk her dog, go for long walks with her sister, and baby-sit the neighbors. Next fall, Casey will be attending college to study Early Childhood Education to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a kindergarten teacher. She will also study Spanish with hopes of travelling to Spain again and learn more about their culture.

What are you curled up with? Ten Timid Ghosts by Jennifer O’Connell
It's Halloween, and ten timid ghosts in a haunted house have a problem: a mean witch has moved in and is planning to scare them out, one by one! Young trick-or-treaters learn to count down from ten to one as each ghost flees from the witch's silly costumes and homemade props. When the homeless ghosts gather in the woods, their fear turns to determination and they plot to get their house back. Will the ghosts frighten the witch away in time for Halloween night?
When It Comes to Preventing the Flu: Don't Wait to Vaccinate
(NewsUSA) - When flu season comes around every year, it's important to make sure you're protected. Flu seasons are unpredictable and can be severe. An average of 5 to 20 percent of the U.S. population becomes ill with the flu each year, and more than 200,000 of these individuals are hospitalized due to complications. The flu can be especially serious for children. Each year, an average of 20,000 children under age five are hospitalized as a result of flu complications. Children ages two to 17 are twice as likely to get the flu as adults. Such setbacks resulting from the flu can affect a family's life, but there are steps you can take to help prevent the flu. Through the "Don't Wait to Vaccinate" campaign, soccer legend and mom
Page 65
Brandi Chastain encourages families to keep these four tips in mind: * Get an annual flu vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends everyone six months and older should get a flu vaccine each year as it is the single best way to help prevent the flu. * Don't wait. Every year, it is important to get yourself and your family vaccinated as soon as vaccine is available in your community, which can be as early as August. * Know your options. It's important to remember the flu vaccine comes in two forms -- the shot or nasal spray. Talk to your doctor about which type is right for you and your eligible family members. * Practice good health habits. Taking everyday preventive steps, like staying away from sick people and washing your hands, helps reduce the spread of germs. If you are sick with the flu, stay home from work or school to prevent spreading influenza to others. "Flu viruses are constantly changing, and the strains that circulate from season to season may be different," according to Anat Feingold, MD, a leading influenza expert and division head of pediatric infectious disease at the Children's Regional Hospital at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, New Jersey. "Because of this, flu vaccines are updated from one season to the next, which is why the CDC recommends getting vaccinated every year." Additionally, a person's immune protection from vaccination declines over time, so annual vaccination helps provide optimal protection. For additional information on the flu and to learn more about the "Don't Wait to Vaccinate" campaign, visit www.facebook.com/ dontwaitvaccinate.
