It may have been broad daylight outside, but I couldn’t see a thing from within the Haunted Cave’s “vortex.�

I was nearing the end of a behind-the-scenes tour of the popular Halloween destination. Russ Gusching, who runs the place, momentarily had left me alone while he flipped the breaker to activate the vortex room so I could experience it for myself.

There I stood, surrounded by darkness and silence, save from the creaking and groaning of the building and the faint sound of a passing train.

And then the room began to move.

A circular wall spun around the walkway, its glowing, electric paint splatters moving all around me. I instantly lost my equilibrium and clumsily stepped along the walkway, one hand gripped to a railing to keep from falling over. “Is the floor moving, too?� I asked. “No, the bridge is completely fixed, the room is just spinning around you,� Gusching

Some bands went home happy with gold ratings.

Others went home with silver and their hopes of an ISSMA state championship dashed.

The annual Trick or Treat at Georgetown will return on Oct. 26 from 5:30-7 p.m. in the Georgetown Square Shopping Center parking lot.

The tradition, which began in the 70s as a safe alternative to taking candy from strangers, was the first of its kind in the country, said Maureen Partee, manager of Georgetown Leasing. “It began in the early 70s, because there was a scare when razor blades were found in apples. My dad, Tom Jehl, thought the solution was to have a safe Halloween event by inviting the kids from the community to the shopping center with merchants handing out candy,� Partee said. “It has gone on every year since about 1972.�

Each year, a gaggle of ghosts and goblins take over the shopping center, trick-or-treating from storefront to storefront.

All merchants are asked to participate, but it is an individual decision, Partee said. No business owners

As Halloween approaches, we are interested in all things spooky.

Since art is everywhere, I thought a discussion of the art found in one of the spookiest of locales might prove of interest — graveyard art. Carved grave markers and sculpted headstones that dot cemeteriesí landscapes have a rich history.

The first grave markers were actually boulders.

These great stones were thought to be a good solution to keep the dead from rising out of their graves. It was thought that if heavy rocks were placed on the grave sites of the deceased, they would not be able to climb out from underneath them. These early grave markers were not highly decorative, but that tradition changed by the onset of the 16th Century.

Some of the most popular imagery found on grave stones relates to death and the journey from this world to the otherworld.

Gusching took a week off from another job to focus on the attraction full time, which meant perfecting the Haunted Cave’s newest effect — the gas chamber: A door will shut behind cave-goers once they enter the box. A light and sound show will distract them as the box moves so slowly, they can’t feel it’s happening. When the door reopens, the group will exit from the same door they entered wondering how they ended up on the other side of the wall. “We think it will be a cool effect. We’ve been getting more into the animated rides over the last couple years, so that’s one of the things we’ve been focusing on this year,� Gusching said.

The near 10,000square-foot building features 17 rooms, each with different themes to play into just about every human fear: arachnophobia, claustrophobia, disorientation and a serious helping of the unexpected.

“A lot of our rooms change as you walk through them. We have censors that trigger the effects to go off so that you don’t know what you’re getting when you walk in. It just comes to life,� Gusching said. “We try to make it like a roller coaster so it’s not complete gore, in-yourface scary from start to finish because you get numb to it. Some rooms are there just to give you a breather to calm the nerves.�

Each room is staffed with actors who work to keep traffic flowing through the cave, all while making the hair stand up at the back of your neck.

All these actors are volunteers. In fact, the cave is manned throughout the year by volunteers to help with everything from demolition and construction, to ticket-taking and acting.

The Haunted Cave, which opened for the season Sept. 21, almost guarantees to have something new for visitors each year. Even before the season really had started, Gusching already was making plans for the next.

But even without the actors and effects in motion, the Haunted Cave is just spooky. “This place creeps me out actually. At night when you’re walking around and it’s just you and you hear the building creak and groan and moan, you just (think), ‘Get me outta’ here,’�

Gusching said with a laugh.

And that’s saying a lot for someone who can walk the cave with his eyes closed.

I think I will just take his word for it.

During the month of October, area Casa Ristoranti Italiano restaurants will conduct a fundraising campaign for the Fort Wayne charity, Camp Watcha Wanna-Do.

The camp, which was founded in 1992, provides a one week summer-camp experience to children battling cancer or youth cancer survivors.

Kids at Camp Watcha Wanna-Do are treated to boating, hiking, archery, swimming, crafts, music and much more during their week of fun. Unlike other summer camps, though, Camp Watcha Wanna-Do has to have a large number of medical staff — including pediatric oncologists, hematologists and more — on site. “We do a lot of fundraising in the community,� said Tom Parisi, director of operations for Casa Ristoranti Italiano. “The owner, Jim Casaburo is on the camp’s board of directors and each year he spends a week at Camp Potawatomi. We actually approached Jim and said we’d really like to put something together to raise money for the camp.�

So, to celebrate the company’s 35th anniversary in October, the four Fort Wayne locations will kick off the Camp Watcha Wanna-Do campaign, which will please both customers and the camp, Parisi said.

“We figured our anniversary would be a great time to raise some funds to give back to the community,� Parisi said. “So, we figured we’d do it in two ways. First, we’ll give our customers $5 off with a coupon we are circulating all over the city. And, for every coupon redeemed, we’ll give Camp Watcha Wanna-Do $1. It really is win-win for everybody.�

The coupon appears on FWDailyNews.com’s Facebook page, as well as on the restaurant chain’s website and in various other locations. “The more we post it, the more people can redeem it. I want to present the largest check possible to the Camp Watcha Wanna-Do organization,� Parisi said.

In addition to raising funds for the camp, Parisi said, the restaurants also will raise awareness about Camp Watcha Wanna-Do. A card with information about the camp, its history and mission will be present on each table, on the back of the chef’s feature card. “We are a just a tool to get the camp money and get its name out in the community,� Parisi said.

Camp hosts live, silent auction Camp Watcha Wanna-Do will host a live and silent auction on Friday, Oct. 19, at the Pine Valley Country Club, 10900 Pine Mills Road, from 7-10:30 p.m.

The event will include hor’s d’oeuvres, desserts and music along with a specialty cocktail tasting. A live and silent auction featuring items such as trips, sporting events, sports memorabilia and the chance to win a pair of diamond earrings worth $3,000.

Tickets are $75 per person and can be purchased from the camp’s website at campwatchawannado.com.

To see him today, one would never know Hooch, a mixed-breed American bulldog, nearly died earlier this year.

His previous owner, who had a history of mental illness, called Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control in January asking for help. She needed assistance to remove the body of a deceased dog and needed medical attention for another dog with a sore neck, she said. “When we got there we realized it was much more than that,� said Peggy Bender, community relations and education specialist at FWACC. The owner had tethered both dogs to overhead beams in the basement using long chains and choke collars. Without much room to move around, the dog that died had panicked and tried to pull away, suffocating on the choke chain. As for Hooch, the choke chain was so deeply embedded into his skin, his neck

The owner signed Hooch over to Animal Care and Control, giving the agency the legal right to remove him from the chain and take him into their care. The owner was later prosecuted for animal cruelty. “Cruelty is defined as knowingly and intentionally doing harm, but we don’t have many of those — it’s neglect,� Bender said. “That’s what we see so much more of — (pets) living in filth or feces, chained up, those kinds of things. Most dogs like (Hooch) aren’t able to be saved. But, as it turned out, the dog did survive and ended up with a very nice personality. When it was all said and done, the dog healed and could be adopted.�

Animal Care Specialist

FWO’s Anterior Hip Approach means recovery in days, not weeks.

Holly Kimpel took Hooch home for additional foster care and eventually adopted him as her own.

While not every story ends well, Hooch’s is one that proves animal victims of cruelty or neglect can have a second chance at a happy life.

FWACC dedicates its Walk for Animals event each year to a different animal who was saved from a cruelty situation.

This year’s walk honors Hooch, who will be escorted to the event by Kimpel to take part in the 2-mile walk around Franke Park to help fight animal cruelty and neglect through education and community outreach.

The event will begin with registration at 11:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 14, inside pavilion No. 1 at Franke Park, 3411 Sherman Blvd. All participants will receive a shirt based on dollars raised, enjoy free food and sample vendor products.

To attend the event, a minimum pledge requirement of $33 per adult or child, or $120 per family of four or more from one household, is required.

Clubs and businesses with four or more people can form a “Dog Pack� to help lead the walk. In

Fall fun will be in the air on Oct. 13 at the St. Joseph United Methodist Church’s annual fall festival. The event will be held from 4-9 p.m. at the church’s new Praise Park.

Pastor Russ Able said the Fall Festival will be a perfect fit with the Praise Park vision. “When we started to develop Praise Park, we wanted it to be the center of and for community,� Abel said. “And so we see things like Praise Park Fair and Fall Fest simply providing the space and invitation for the community to come together for love and fellowship in a safe place that is welcoming.�

The Fall Festival will offer hamburgers, hotdogs and other fare along with carnival games and prizes for kids from 4-7 p.m., said Peggy Puzzello, the church’s christian education director.

From 6-9 p.m., the community can stick around for hayrides — complete with a guitar strummer — a bonfire and plenty of s’mores.

“For the past 3 years, at least, we’ve held the games and food at the church.

But, we’ve always had a bonfire and

hayride at the park, even when it wasn’t the park yet,� Puzzello said. “So, we are taking a leap of faith that God will provide good weather when we move everything over to the park.�

All activities are free, the costs covered by donations from church members and operating costs such as gas for the tractor or port-a-potty rental fees picked up by the church, itself.

Puzzello said keeping the event free to the public is important to the church.

The year-long planning process begins immediately following the annual festival, but ramps up in mid-July.

Puzzello said the church sponsors an “apple orchard� for church members to “pick� an item to donate to the event, resulting in hundreds of pounds of hamburgers and packages of hot dogs. “The church really just wants to be a good neighbor,� Puzzello said. “We want to get to know our neighbors and kick off the fall season together.�

Using seasonal crops eliminates the need for importing produce, helping the environment as a result.

So what produce is prime for picking come September through November? Here’s a look at the items to pick for fall menu planning.

A main component of the dish ratatouille, eggplant is also ideal in Italian meals or as part of vegetarian sandwiches.

Carrots: Autumn-

Broccoli: Harvest broccoli in the autumn and enjoy a healthy addition to salads, casseroles and pasta. Research shows that broccoli loses much of its nutritional value when microwaved, so it’s best when lightly steamed.

Cabbage: Cabbage is often considered an autumn vegetable, although it is routinely available year-round.

Perhaps that’s because of the ornamental cabbage plants that are coolweather lovers. Make soups or a late-season slaw with fresh cabbage.

Corn: Perhaps no vegetable is more synonymous with autumn than corn. Sweet corn is harvested every fall and is

Apples: Early autumn is prime season for apple picking. Take to the orchards and choose favorite varieties among the red-, yellow- and green-hued options.

Blueberries: Though widely considered a summertime fruit, blueberries are often in season through September. Get them while they last.

Blackberries: Those who live in rural areas may find blackberries growing wild, just waiting to be picked. Use shallow boxes instead of bags so that blackberries do not get crushed during transport. Expect wild blackberries to be smaller than commercially cultivated ones.

Figs: Fig trees offer an abundance of sweet delights this time of year.

For individuals lucky to have a fig tree in the yard, simply go out and pluck a handful of figs for a fiberfilled treat.

Grapes: Grapes are available at the supermarket year-round, but they’re in their prime during the autumn season.

Pears: This is another tree-grown fruit that comes into season in the fall. Put pears, blackberries and apples together to make a tasty crisp dessert or fresh pie.

harvested carrots have a deeper flavor than spring varieties.

Mushrooms: Now is the time to harvest wild mushrooms. However, it may be safer to choose among the many at the supermarket or local farmer.

Pumpkins: Of course pumpkins are known to be fall vegetables. While they are often carved, the flesh can be used in salads, soups and in baked goods.

mother and brother suffered from it. Today the number of those afflicted with MS in Thornton’s family has risen to four. “I worry about my grandkids and my kids getting MS,� Thornton said. “Four of us in our family have it now. It is important to me to find a cure for MS, because they are finding out that (getting MS) is more and more genetic. I do not want them to have it.�

Instead of sitting idly by and bemoaning his fate, Thornton continued his work building trucks for five years after his diagnosis. And, more importantly, he began walking in the Walk MS: Northeast, a fundraising walk sponsored by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

As a way to raise funds for his team, Thornton hosted several bowling tournaments. Eight years ago, though, his son came up with the idea to switch to a golf outing. Thus, the Dick Thornton Golf Outing for MS was born.

The first year, Thornton’s golf outing brought in nine teams and raised $4,000 for the cause. It’s gotten bigger and better ever since.

The 2012 outing, held Sept. 15 at Foster Park Golf Course, played host to 19 teams of four golfers and a host of corporate

The preparation tasks included reserving the golf course, collecting prizes for both the silent auction and raffle, securing corporate hole sponsors and, of course, recruiting golfers. “This year we have 19 teams,â€?

National Multiple Sclerosis Society marketing manager Amanda Shelley said Thornton and his fundraising activities are extremely important to

the organization. “Dick is a valued champion for our organization and does a great job raising both funds and awareness for our cause,� Shelley said.

Though the 2012 golf outing was successful, Thornton said he’ll soon be hanging up his golf clubs, due the disease’s progression on his 60year-old body. He said his nephew has volunteered to carry on the golf outing in the future. “It is getting hard for me to do this,� Thornton said. “This is going to be my last one.�

The lobster, crawdads and shrimp will be boiling Louisiana-style on Nov. 3 when the Anthony Wayne Area Council hosts its annual seafood boil with New Orleans, La., chef Michael DeVidts.

DeVidts, of the New Orleans School of Cooking, will prepare the traditional New Orleans dish in a large pot to be served family-style. “They just dump it from the pot in front of you and you just dig in and have a good time,� said John Gliot, scout executive and CEO. “It’s a casual affair — a lot of good times talking to neighbors and friends while eating crawdads, lobster tails and corn on the cob.

The event begins at 6 p.m. at Sweetwater Sound, 5501 U.S. 30 W, with cocktails, followed by dinner and a live and silent auction.

'UESTS ATTENDING THE SEAFOOD BOIL EVENT ARE TREATED TO A STOCKPOT FULL OF SEAFOOD DELIGHTS 4HE EVENT TAKES PLACE .OV AT 3WEET WATER 3OUND In addition, DeVidts will lend his expertise to a cooking class from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. the same day. The class, which will feature lunch, will take place at La Dolce Vita, 113 N. Main St., in Roanoke. The class will include tips, tricks and hands-on instruction to

churn out authentic cajun fare.

Proceeds from both events will be donated to AWAC to assist in its mission to instill the values of the scout oath and law into more than 7,000 area boys through adventure and skillbuilding activities.

“We work with the community and family to develop young men into adults who will have strong moral character, values and leadership,�

Gliot said. “We do that through outdoor programs and camping. But camping isn’t why we exist, it’s what we do to

"1 - vĂ€ÂœÂ“ĂŠÂŤ>}iĂŠĂŠ ĂŽ on gravestones were skull and crossbones.

The symbolism apropos for a grave marker was that the skull of the deceased would have wings that would fly his or her soul to heaven.

Some of the more common motifs found on gravestones include hourglasses, a symbol of the passage of time, and youthful winged figures reserved for those who died young.

In the early 1800s, flowers, weeping willow trees, and classical urns offered a more classical view of death than earlier grave stones.

Victorian gravestones By the Victorian period, circa 1838-1901, the references to death on gravestones emerge as far less frightening and intimidating than earlier examples.

The highlight of graveyard artistry came in the latter part of the 1800s when more people visited graveyards.

Cemeteries became more survivor-friendly.

Graveyards evolved into tree-filled park settings.

Many cemeteries emerged as highly appropriate

sites to host a Sunday picnic at the flower-decorated grave of a loved one.

Grieving angels, classical muses, and sleeping children all took their place in early 20th Century gravestone art. Spilled flowers and broken columns were common symbols of a life ended too soon.

In addition, subject matter such as opened books, broken tools, or other images indicating work left incomplete was selected by grieving families to represent the contributions of a dearly-missed loved one.

This Halloween, remember to take a moment and consider the spooky yet sensational works of art of your local graveyard.

further those goals.�

While Boy Scouts fundraising may evoke thoughts of caramel popcorn, the inaugural seafood boil events in 2011 were very successful, Gliot said. It netted the organization approximately $15,000, which it uses to plug its $1.7-million operating budget. “(The seafood boil) is just one more avenue to raise more funds for the operating budget for things like summer camp support and recruitment,�

Gliot said.

Camp operation costs nearly $350,000 each year and recruitment is equally important, Gliot said.

AWAC recruits 3,5004,000 new scouts each year.

Event organizers hope to raise $22,000 this year while boosting attendance from 70 last year to 120 this year. Tickets for the seafood boil are $250 per couple or $1,000 per
