“This is Halloween, this is Halloween!”

As a kid I was completely in love with the creepy ghouls of the town of Halloween where Jack Skellington and Sally realized they were meant to be.

“The Nightmare Before Christmas” introduced me to the incredible music of Danny Elfman and characters that I revisit every year when the weather begins to change.

Fall is my favorite time of year. With a new pallet of coffee and tea flavors, cooler breezes, sweaters, apple picking and colorful leaves falling everywhere, what’s not to love?

Take your pick of apple history and trivia

[apples]

Though apples are enjoyed across the globe, many people associate apples with the United States of America. That’s in spite of the fact that the first apples were cultivated on the opposite side of the world from North America in Asia.

There are more than 7,500 known cultivars of apples that produce various characteristics for flavor and appearance. Apples are often a topic of discussion in the fall, when many trees produce their largest bounties of fruit. Autumn is a good time of year to take a closer look at apples, and explore some of the most popular varieties for picking and eating.

APPLE ORIGINS

Malus deomestica, or the common apple tree, is a descendent of apple trees that originated in Central Asia in what is now southern Kazakhstan. Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Asia and Europe. The original apple tree was the wild apple, or Malus sieversii. DNA analysis has confirmed that the wild apple is the progenitor of the cultivated apple enjoyed today.

European colonists likely brought apple seeds and trees with them when they emigrated to North America, introducing that

2 NEWBURGH MAGAZINE October 2019

part of the world to the apple tree. Records from the Massachusetts Bay Company indicate that apples were being grown in New England as early as 1630. Americans also enjoy the popular story of Johnny Appleseed, who was believed to have distributed apple seeds and trees to settlers across the United States. While apples can be produced from seeds, nowadays many apples are propagated by grafting so that they retain the parent tree’s characteristics of flavor, hardiness and insect resistance.

APPLES AND SYMBOLISM Apples have become the main symbols of many different stories and tales throughout history. Apples are linked to the Biblical tale of Adam and Eve and their ultimate expulsion from the Garden of Eden. However, the apple is never named in any of the religious texts as the fruit Eve picked from the tree of knowledge.

Apples have appeared in fairy tales and folklore. The Brothers Grimm had the character “Snow White” fall ill after eating a

poisoned apple. In Norse mythology, the goddess Iounn was the appointed keeper of golden apples that kept the Aesir young forever.

Apples have also played a role in science, most notably Sir Isaac Newton’s study of gravity. While myth surrounds the story of Newton and an apple falling from a nearby tree, it’s likely that witnessing an apple fall from a tree did spark something in the famed scientist.

[Boo in the Zoo] Boo at the Zoo star ted about 40 years ago as a way for families to be immersed in the zoo during Halloween time. The event has been updated through the years and morphed to what it is today.

It has been a way for whole families to come and enjoy a non-scary Halloween party.

Mesker Park Zoo & Botanical Gardens’ annual Boo at the Zoo event combines live entertainment, photo-ops and a forever kids’ favorite, trick or treating. This is an event that is fun for kids of all ages.

“We provide a no-scare atmosphere for the kids to get dressed in their costumes and trick or treat around the zoo,” Events & Communications Coordinator at the zoo Hope Mills said.

There are more than 20 stations around the zoo where kids can get candy and non-candy treats. In addition to the multiple stations, ambassador animals will make an appearance for the up close and personal experience.

Boo at the Zoo adds a special kind of fun as it mixes the holiday traditions with all the special things that Mesker has done for this event. Boo at the Zoo will take place Oct. 18-20 and Oct. 25-27. On Friday and Saturday, the hours are 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. General admission is $8 and $6 for members. Tickets can be purchased at the gift shop or online at https://batz2019. eventbrite.com.

There are many ways to enjoy Halloween in this area. Why not plan a trip to the zoo and feel close to nature and many of the creatures that you will not see walking down your street trick-ortreating.

[dry ice] Who doesn’t want to add a dramatic effect to Halloween hijinks? Haunted displays can be taken up a notch with the use of some scene-setting enhancements, including dry ice and fog machines.

DRY ICE

FOG MACHINES

Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide.

Dry ice is often used for spooky effects because it produces a vapor when it sublimates from its dry form. This occurs after exposure to air and liquid that is warmer than the dry ice.

Because the temperature of dry ice is extremely cold, (-109.3 F or -78.5 C), people can suffer from frostbite if they touch it, warns the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. People who intend to handle dry ice need to use tongs or protective gloves when doing so. Children may not understand the danger of dry ice, so they should never be allowed near it.

Dry ice should be kept in an insulated cooler and stored and used in a well-ventilated area, as the CO gas can sink to low areas and replace oxygenated air. High concentrations of CO gas may be fatal when breathed in.

If dry ice is used in drinks, it is important that no dry ice fragments are ingested, which can cause tissue damage as well as pressure from the buildup of the release of gas, states the information site ThoughtCo.

Fog machines can produce a scary and realistic Halloween tableau. When using fog machines, it is essential that users confirm which solution is being used to produce the fog. Many utilize a water and glycol solution that has been deemed safe if inhaled. However, some people may find it causes throat irritation. Some products use proprietary formulas, concealing the identity and proportion of ingredients. Users should avoid these products unless they can confirm which chemicals are being used and that those chemicals are safe.

The Ontario Ministry of Labour says that fog/ smoke generating machines should be placed in locations where exposure to the concentrated smoke is minimal. The machines also should be used exactly as the manufacturer directs and not altered by using dyes, fragrances and other chemicals.

Fog machines can create many illusions, but they also can impede vision if the fog is too thick. Also, fog machines can produce a slippery residue, so users should be aware of this and monitor conditions around the machines.

• SHOP AT A LOCAL FARM STAND

• VISIT A CORN MAZE

Take advantage of the many roadside stands that crop up this time of year where you can find bushels of apples, pumpkins, gourds, and late-summer vegetables. After a day of sightseeing, visit a farm stand for warm cider and freshly baked doughnuts. Buying local produce reduces reliance on foreign-shipped foods and other products, while also cutting back on the fuel consumed to get foods from the farm to the table.

After corn has been harvested, farm owners often use their land for supplemental income. Corn mazes can be simple or complex depending on visitors’ ages. Engage in family bonding outside and turn off electronics in the process.

• USE NATURE TO DECORATE Skip plastic, mass-produced decorations and rely on nature to dress up your home. Fill vases with leaves and berries. Place small pumpkins on mantles, and enrich the landscape of your home with vibrantly hued mums and other cool-weather plants. Corn husks and stalks can add harvest flair to front porches. Twigs nestled and tied together can make interesting table centerpieces.

• CREATE A COMPOSTING PILE Outdoor chores are easier in cool weather than they are when the mercury rises. Set aside a place in the yard for composting. A healthy compost pile should have roughly two-thirds carbon (brown) materials and one-third nitrogen (green) materials, says EarthEasy.com. Use those lawn clippings and raked leaves to make compost for spring plantings.

• BAKE YOUR OWN PIE After a fun-filled day picking apples at a nearby orchard, head home and use those locally sourced apples to whip up a delicious pie.

• RECYCLE OLD CLOTHES TO DRESS YOUR SCARECROW Clothing that is not worthy of donation can be transformed into a festive scarecrow just in time for Halloween hijinks. Fill out the body of the scarecrow with newspaper and then add some pieces of straw around the neck, hands and feet.

• HOST A FOOTBALL PARTY Watch the game on television or have a pickup game in the yard. Serve finger foods to cut down on the need for plastic or paper plates and flatware. Purchase a keg of beer from a local brewery to eliminate individual beer cans and bottles. Set out a nonalcoholic punch bowl so the kids can enjoy refreshments, too.

[eco-friendly] Fall is a favorite time of year for many people because the crisp weather motivates people of all ages to enjoy the great outdoors. Individuals conscious of their carbon footprints can use fall as a time to take inventory of their behaviors and make changes where necessary.

NEWBURGH GHOST WALKS WRITER: JULIE ROSENBAUM-ENGELHARDT OFFER TALES, LESSONS FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE

[ghost walks]

When I first heard about the Newburgh Ghost Walks, I thought that this event would just be scary fun for kids and parents. I had no idea that it would also be a great history lesson. I decided to volunteer and was chosen as the character who stood in front of the old tobacco factory, which is a big white house on Water Street right in front of the mighty Ohio River. I used my theater training and in costume I told the stor y.

My friend had brought his little girl and when I was finished she said, ”Daddy, Julie did a movie.”

I learned much about the history of that factory and Newburgh histor y. It was a fun and learning experience. The Newburgh Ghost Walks walking tours are always the third weekend in October, which falls on Oct. 18-20 this year. The cost is $8 in advance and $10

at the door. Hayride tours (limited availability) are $15 per person.

You can choose one of three alternatives or come back each day for all of the Ghost Walks. Turn of the century tour guides and re-enactors tell ghost stories on a hayride through downtown Newburgh’s historic district. A walk across the historic red bridge (optional) will enlighten and frighten. The Water Street tour tells tales of events that occurred on Newburgh’s Water Street years ago. You will hear stories from Newburgh’s early settler days through the Civil War. You can hear some of Newburgh’s most mysterious tales, including the steamboat Missouri and the Newburgh tobacco company’s homespun twists, which is what I did and thoroughly enjoyed. You will be amazed

and frightened by the events that took place long ago on State Street. Nobody could imagine that such a gruesome past exists in such a charming little town.

This is not a haunted house type tour, so no ghost will jump out and try to haunt the attendees. The guided walking tours depart every 12 minutes from Preservation Hall at 200 State St. Each tour lasts approximately an hour and will stay close to the downtown area.

Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

The Exchange Hotel’s slave history and the tales of Hulvershorn’s coffin shop are great for anybody who likes being spooked. These ghost stories are loosely based on old newspaper articles, historic documents and passed along by Newburgh residents.

After a trip to a storytelling event in New Harmony, Anne Rust Aurand came home and started researching stories she’d heard about people and places in Newburgh. She told her mother, Nellie Jane Rust, what she was doing.

“I’ll never forget her response. She said, ‘That’s the silliest thing I’ve ever heard. There are no ghost stories in Newburgh…unless you tell the story of Bonnie Walden,’” Aurand said.

Aurand presented the Ghost Walk idea, stories and all, to the Historic Newburgh board several times before a couple other members validated it and they were off and running.

“My husband and I hurried home from a meeting in Indianapolis to participate as guides for that very first Ghost Walk more than 30 years ago,” she said. “We had no idea what to expect. Our excitement peaked when we turned the corner at State and Jennings and saw people lined up – a long line – waiting to purchase tickets. The next night, I took over the role of Polly Castle’s hired girl and have done it ever since.”

For the three years that I did the tour, it was like taking a history lesson and being in a play. I learned more about the olden tales of a haunted Newburgh and was able to act as if I really took part in them. I urge anybody who can participate to do so and if not, definitely come to the riverfront and enjoy. The Ghost Walks are another reason that makes it quite unique for me to live in this eclectic little town.

NOTHING SCREAMS

N E E W O L L A H PY LIKE SOMETHING CREE AND SLIMEY

C:78 M:100 Y:15 K:4

Get the kids hyped up for Halloween with this extremely simple snack.

Prep time is minimal as long as you shop beforehand!

INGREDIENTS DIRECTIONS Double Stuf Oreos Pretzel sticks Peanut butter

Candy eyes (or other candies) Cranberry apple juice Soda water Gummy worms

Spider Cookies Break pretzel sticks in half and stick legs into the the sides of the Oreo. Apply eyes to the top of the cookie using small dabs of peanut butter.

Ice Worm Fill ice tray with water and stick worm halfway into the tray.

Freeze. Combine cranberry apple juice and soda water to give the drink a fizzy feel and drop in creepy ice cubes.

* For a healthier take try substituting the Oreo with peanut butter or cream cheese and crackers with raisin eyes.

[Jack-o-lanterns] The twinkling lights and orange glow of jack-o’-lanterns can add ambiance to any autumn event.

The trouble with carving pumpkins is that most people want to do it right away, only to discover their pumpkins wilt and decay long before Halloween.

Carved pumpkins may last a week or two, while uncut pumpkins can last for a month or more. Follow these tips to keep your pumpkins fresh and lively.

• SCRAPE OUT THE INSIDES THOROUGHLY Any moist bits inside the pumpkin will mold quickly. The pumpkin carving experts at Pumpkin Masters recommend scraping as much of the “guts” out as possible, leaving about a one-inch thickness of the wall of the pumpkin.

• COAT THE PUMPKIN Preservation methods may aim to keep the pumpkin hydrated and inhibit mold and other microbial growth.

Commercially sold pumpkin preservation products, such as Pumpkin Fresh®, hold up well. Soaking and spraying carved pumpkins with a bleach-and-water solution also seems to preserve designs.

C:79 M:11 Y:47 K:0 • KEEP IT OUT OF THE ELEMENTS

Store carved pumpkins in a cool, dry place. This will help slow down the rotting process for pumpkins exposed to outdoor fungi, other microbes and warm sunlight.

• CHOOSE A STURDY PUMPKIN

• USE AN ARTIFICIAL LIGHT SOURCE

Inspect the pumpkin of your choosing carefully, looking for gouges, spots and holes. Even a small blemish can quickly expand into a mushy mess.

Select pumpkins with even color and firm flesh, and make sure that the pumpkin doesn’t feel tender when you push on the skin.

Reduce the heat inside of the pumpkin and encourage hydration by selecting a battery-powered light instead of a lit candle to illuminate the carving.

• VISIT LOCAL PUMPKIN STANDS Pumpkins that have been shipped miles and miles in hot cargo trucks may be overly ripened or battered. Pumpkins that were grown nearby may be fresher. Plus, buying pumpkins locally supports local farmers.

10 NEWBURGH MAGAZINE October 2019

• OR SKIP THE CARVING Once pumpkin skin is compromised, microbes can enter.

In lieu of carving, paint or decorate pumpkins in other ways if you want them to stay fresh for a long time. Glow in the dark paint can help pumpkins stand out at night.

NEW TWISTS ON CLASSIC HOT CHOCOLATE CARAMEL: Pair a rich, dark or semi-sweet hot chocolate with a swirl of caramel. The caramel will add sweetness and extra creaminess to the blend.

PEPPERMINT: Peppermint and hot chocolate can make for an interesting contrast. The cooling nature of peppermint works nicely with the heat of hot chocolate, imparting a wonderful aroma as well. Melt a candy cane or mint from a restaurant in the mug and enjoy.

[kozy kup]

NUTMEG: What nutmeg does for eggnog it also can do for hot chocolate. Nutmeg offers that earthy bite that calls to mind long days baking in the kitchen.

CHILE POWDER: Chile can add a little kick to hot chocolate that works surprisingly well. Add just enough to offer a little tingle of residual heat at the back of your throat. This concoction also may help clear up a case of congestion or the sniffles.

MARSHMALLOWS: Of course one of the simplest ways to dress up hot chocolate is to fill the mug to the brim with sweet marshmallows.

WHIPPED CREAM: Create the flavor combination of a chocolate cream pie with a generous dollop of whipped cream. For a truly rich flavor, make a batch of fresh whipped cream, which will also thicken the hot chocolate.

COFFEE: Add a splash of coffee to the hot chocolate for an instant boost of caffeine and some mocha flavoring.

PEANUT BUTTER: Few people can resist the combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Melt a spoonful of peanut butter into the beverage and enjoy.

Autumn is marked by colorful foliage and plummeting temperatures. Once those leaves reach peak color, they fall from the branches and collect on lawns, necessitating cleanup projects. For homeowners with big yards, such a project can be tiring and time-consuming. However, there are ways to make leaf cleanup easier.

One of the easiest ways to clean up leaves is to reach for a LAWN MOWER rather than a rake. The mower will cut leaves down to smaller sizes, creating an effective mulch that can add nutrients back into the lawn. Davey, a lawn and landscape solutions ser-

vice, says that mowed leaves also can be collected in a mower bag and added to garden beds or compost piles.

For those who prefer manual raking, select a rake with tines that will not skewer the leaves in the process. BIG RAKES also can make faster work of gathering leaves into piles.

The home improvement r esour ce The Family Handyman advocates for the use of a LAWN SWEEPER. This is a manual device that has a rotating sweeping br ush that gathers up lawn debris and leaves into an attached hopper bag. Like mowed leaves, the

bag can be emptied into a compost pile or distributed where needed.

Raking leaves onto a LARGE TARP is another option.

Once it’s full, the tarp can be taken to the curb where many towns will collect the leaves seasonally. Otherwise, the tarp can be used as a funnel to put leaves into a gardening bag or another appropriate receptacle.

LEAF BLOWERS remain a fast option for cleaning up yards, but they require electricity or gas and can be noisy. Still, they are a popular choice for large landscapes or when quick work needs to be made of leaf clean-up.

WRITER: MARISA PATWA

Glam horror — the process of applying cute yet gor y or scar y makeup, is a hot Halloween trend that Boonville beauty spa owner, Danielle Hall, has practiced.

Hall, 28, just opened Belle Peau Tanning and Day Spa a year and a half ago and has already made a name for herself in the community for not only her premiere beauty treatments, but for her ability to transform a fresh face into a fierce animal or spooky character, per fect in time for Halloween 2019.

Her signature glam horror look includes a gory esthetic in which a zipper is glued to the face to make it look like there are two layers of skin.

“I’ve always been in awe of what people can do with makeup,” Hall said. “I had a zipper one day at home. We got it to fix a jacket and I just found this glitter and I was like,

‘Oh my gosh, I’m going to glue this glitter on my face,’ and I did. And everybody likes the zipper faces because it’s a little different.”

For Hall, owning a business was always a part of her plan.

“I always knew I was going to open a business, but I didn’t know what kind,” she said. “It’s always been a dream of mine.

I graduated from The Salon Professional Academy in Evansville and two months later I opened this because I’m crazy.”

Now, Belle Peau has become a second home to Hall and her two daughters, Raelynn, 9, and Brooklynn, 3.

“A lot of my time is here. I think they like it,” Hall said. “For Brooklyn, it’s all she knows. Raelynn can actually run the whole shop.”

Although Hall plans to do a lot of spray

tans this Halloween for girls doing their Elle Woods best, she said she already has a few zipper look appointments on the books.

“They actually sell kits now, which I’m against using because the really good special ef fects makeup isn’t cheap,” she said. “But, I am all for people tr ying things and having fun with their makeup, but if they are wanting something they know they can’t do — because it takes a lot to do it at home — they should come to me.”

In addition to the occasional bloody or glamorous zipper look, Hall is also known for creating signature animal looks for Halloween.

“I’ve done an owl, cheetah and giraffe,” she said. “I do a lot of sequin faces too because I like them.”

Although Hall is a true perfectionist when it comes to the glam horror makeup application process.

“I’m never satisfied,” she said. “I always feel

like there’s something else I could be doing to make it a little bit extra.”

Though, she’ll never get tired of the moment her clients finally take that first look in the mirror after all of her hard work, whether it be for an actual bride or Frankenstein’s bride.

“Whenever people see themselves with what they’ve been wanting, it’s a really nice feeling,” Hall said.

She also specializes in colored lashes.

“They’re fun and they last a little while,” she said. “So, if you have a couple of parties, they are a good thing to get.”

And the glam horror makeup trend Hall thinks is going to be the most rocked this Halloween?

“There is going to be a lot of Aliens,” she said as she added some more bluish-green glitter alongside the zipper glued on model’s face. “It’s because of the Area 51 take down.”

Hopefully, they come in peace.

tips for the

zipper look • Zippers can be bought in the Walmart sewing area • For bloody texture, use tissue paper • Give yourself an hour to two for the full application process — remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

• Hall’s go to beauty product she uses for the zipper look is — surprise — nail art • Use lash glue — super glue is not recommended • When it comes to bruises and cuts: “You want to make sure it looks like it’s actually on their skin,” Hall said, “so, you don’t want to goop it on.”

• For a white foundation, use face paint. “If you want it to stay on better and for it to be thicker, you want to use something cream based,” Hall said.

• For black and white looks, contouring with grey and black is key. “It just gives it a little bit more hmph,” Hall said. **A full cosplay look costs around $130, while a glam horror zipper look will run you $50. To book an appointment with Danielle Hall, call 812-8972509 and make sure to call in as far in advance as possible.

MAKE YOUR PHOTOSHOOT POP LOCATION

PROPS

Newburgh provides numerous options for backdrops. You can create an urban photo taken downtown or use the fall foliage of Angel Mounds. Be sure to scout out other hidden gems and remember brick walls and rolling hills make for a beautiful location as well.

Think subtle and simple. Wooden chairs, a flannel blanket or wooden crates give photos a boost and they are easy to transport if you need to switch up your location.

COLOR SCHEME

Wide angle group shots are a necessity for Christmas cards, but photos will be cherished for a lifetime. Closeups and overhead shots hold their own magic and give photos an intimate feel.

Berry, jewel and earth tones portray themselves well against the golden foliage background.

E R ’ E W

PERSPECTIVE

DETAILS Photos aren’t just for catching smiles, they need to catch emotions. The way a couple holds hands, the way a child smiles at their favorite toy and how the family embraces one another will make a heart melt at first glance.

HIRING

Newburgh Magazine is the go-to publication of the area providing locals and visitors with a lifestyle guide encompassing dining, shopping, people, DIY, trends and expert perspectives.

We are looking for a self-motivated freelance writer who can handle event and interview assignments for the monthly publication. Previous reporting experience and knowledge of basic photography is a plus, but those with strong writing samples will be considered.

Ability to meet deadlines is a must.

From pie to decorations, pumpkins are a fall staple.

Whether you’re making jacko-lanterns with the family or working on your pie skills, we’re lucky in Newburgh to have an option to deck out our homes and support a local business.

Wright’s Berry Farm on Anderson Road has locally grown pumpkins and gourds again this season.

[pumpkins]

Operator Julie Durbin said the you-pick farm and produce stand has been operating for 32 years. The stand is known for blueberries and strawberries, but retired strawberries this year as owner Warren Wright (Julie’s father) has also retired from running the farm.

Durbin said the stand will include pumpkins from their own farm or other local farm through the end of October when the stand closes for the season.

Autumn is the best time for stargazing since nightfall comes earlier and the temperatures are still comfortable.

S’mores taste equally delicious whether it’s warm or cold outside, and in winter they can be accompanied by toasty mugs of hot chocolate.

[recipe] WYATT’S “EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK” TURKEY CHILI This is my “award winning” chili. Actually, I won people’s choice in a chili cook-off in 2012, but still, it has always been a winner with my friends and family.

You can make this with ground or shredded turkey. Shredded turkey breast is my personal favorite. If you do go shredded, it doesn’t hurt to season with salt, pepper, paprika and cumin while cooking the turkey breast.

The best part about chili is that you pretty much have zero work to do to make it aside from cutting up a bit of onions, celery and green peppers.

However, it is important to make sure things are put in at different times to make sure certain flavors don’t overpower others. I use a 4:2:1 ratio when I need to make it in one day, but you can also stretch out the first cook time or shrink all of the times to fit your schedule (i.e allow two hours for the first step, one hour for the second and a half an hour for the third).

“Bram Stoker’s Dracula” (1992) To be honest, I wasn’t allowed to watch “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” featuring Keanu Reeves, Gary Oldman, Winona Rider and Anthony Hopkins. I mean, I wasn’t even 5 years old when it came out. But, a few years later I had a friend with access to all the movies I wasn’t allowed to watch and one October afternoon after school we popped in Dracula. 1 1/2 minutes in and I was already terrified by the blood dripping from the eyes of the stone angels as Gary Oldman’s young Dracula denounces his faith.

Looking back now, it is not that scary, but it certainly affected the highly religious young Wyatt. I know there have been other Dracula movies that have come out since, but this one still holds a pretty high spot in my list of favorites. That being said, I was really taken by the storytelling and the way the movie used cinematic elements to portray what I later learned to be a classic Gothic novel.

It got me interested in classic literature in a way that few other things could for a 10-year-old. I am still a fan of the classics and I have to say that I fully believe that influences like Dracula have made me into the Shakespeare loving, Gothic novel discussing, poetry reading person I am today.

As I mentioned in my letter from the editor earlier in this edition, my favorite fall movie to watch is “The Nightm are Before Christmas.” I mean, who can resist a good Sandy Claws reference! Though, if I’m feeling like being scared for the night (and sleeping with all of my lights on) my favorite scary movie is “The Strangers.” The story follows two people staying the night in a cabin out in the woods – while three people wearing unnerving masks taunt them from both inside and outside of the house.

With a small cast, it’s the subtle details throughout the film that make this movie a memorable horror flick.

Megan Purazrang, Editor

[staff picks] hocus pocus For a wicked watching, Kenny Ortega’s 1993 Halloween film, “Hocus Pocus,” is the only choice. It’s a childhood classic that stands the test of time, with a unique plot of a virgin teenage boy Max (played by Ormi Katz) resurrecting three evil witches in Salem, Mass. and himself, his love interest Allison (played by Vinessa Shaw), scrappy sister Dani (played by Thora Birch) and an immortal human stuck in the body of a black cat named Thackery Binx (played

by Sean Murray, voiced by Jason Marsden,) trying to figure out how to put them back in the grave by the end of Halloween night. If they don’t, the witches will devour the souls of all of the children to become immortal. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy are iconic in the role of the three Sanderson sisters — I’ll never get tired of Parker giddily eating spiders as she slays the black-lipstick look or Bette Midler attempting to seduce famed director Gary Marshall wearing red horns, believing he was the devil in the flesh. And you can’t help but dance during the costume party scene when the sisters sing “I Put a Spell on You” to a crowd of unaware and liquored up parents. “Hocus Pocus” truly is a wholesome family movie with some dangerous delights in it and if you watch it this Halloween, I guarantee you’ll be spellbound.

Marisa Patwa, Staff Writer

Halloweentown I’m a 90s baby and was raised around babysitting so my go-to fall movie is “Halloweentown.” This classic Disney Channel movie has a mild scare to it, but it’s suitable for my children to watch. Also, you have to admit that Debbie Reynolds would make for the coolest grandma EVER!

[trails] WRITER: WYATT SQUIRES After a stifling summer, fall is the perfect time to head outdoors and enjoy the scener y around Warrick County.

A perfect chance to take in the changing leaves and fall air is at NEWBURGH’S RIVERTOWN TRAIL. The multi-use greenway extends from the new Locks and Dam Park east of town, through downtown Newburgh and to Mulzer Fields west of town. The wooded path at the Aurand Trail head takes trail-goers over a historic bridge on the way to a lookout over the Ohio River and is a perfect chance to go for a fall walk or bike ride.

For those looking for a little more fright in their trail experience, head up to Scales Lake in Boonville for the TRAIL HEADS - SOUTHWEST INDIANA Haunted Trails. The haunted trail will take place on Oct. 5 and Oct. 12 and will feature scares along the bike trails at the park with proceeds from the event going back to improvements for the trail.

While the trail will play host to the man-made haunts, the trails aren’t without ghosts of their own.

If you listen closely to the sounds at Scales Lake in Boonville, you may hear a whistle in the wind or maybe the cries of a young woman.

Legend tells a stor y of a fire that took place in the home of a local doctor that sat on the area now known as Scales Lake Park. Either before or during that fire, a young employee of the home, Annie, lost her life.

Many have reported hearing her cries in the area of Tennyson Road and in the trails at the park.

Avoid seasonal allergies by exploring natural ways to find prevention or relief.

• REDUCE SPREAD OF POLLEN Prevent pollen from being tracked indoors. Remove shoes when walking through the door. Take off clothes worn outside and launder them promptly, showering to wash pollen off of the body. Use an air conditioner or keep windows closed when the pollen count is high.

• RINSE OFF POLLEN

[under the weather]

Use a mild cleanser to rinse the eyelids and eyelashes of pollen, as this is where it tends to congregate after being outdoors. Use saline spray to clear nasal passages of excess pollen.

• UP OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS It is well documented that fatty acids are good for brain health and cardiovascular well-being. But these acids also may help with allergies. A German study linked foods high in omega-3 fatty acids with the ability to fight inflammation, which is a hallmark of allergy suffering. Foods that are high in fatty acids include walnuts, flax, eggs, and cold-water fatty fish.

eucalyptus oil to cleansing products can help kill dust mites around the house.

• TAKE NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS A study published in the journal Clinical and Experimental Allergy found participants who used tablets of the herb butterbar showed significant allergy relief after only one week. Select herbs from reputable manufacturers who certify them.

• USE EUCALYPTUS OIL

• WEAR A MASK

This oil is great to have in the house to help clear up sinuses and provide nasal congestion relief. Mix a small amount with coconut oil and rub onto the chest. There also is some evidence that adding a few drops of

When doing housework or yard work, wear a mask to reduce the inhalation of specific allergens.

It is a great way to reduce depression, help others and see some smiling faces. Newburgh provides many volunteer opportunities from festivals to local churches. Check with the hosts of any of the upcoming festivities throughout the holidays to see how you can give back to Newburgh today.

Pups in costumes?

One of Newburgh’s seasonal events is WagO-Ween, put on by the Warrick Humane Society. According to Lindsey Hagedom, this year marks the second annual event and the community is invited to what she describes as a “hauntingly good time.”

This is an event to support the WHS. Everyone is encouraged to dress up in their favorite Halloween costumes and enjoy the festivities and of course this is totally pet friendly.

To enter the costume contest, attendees are asked to bring a donation either monetar y or something from the Drive For Rescue Pets.

Items on the wish list include paper towels, kitten food, bleach, laundry and soap. A full list of items needed will be discussed during the event.

Guests will be able to enjoy free games for the kids, the monster mash bubble party, hot dogs and puppy chow and drinks will be available for purchase with all proceeds donated to help WHS. There will be the first official WagO-Ween Adoptable Pet Parade where people can see some adorable dogs looking for their forever homes.

Several local rescues will have vendor tables with items for sale to support their organizations. You can become acquainted with different volunteers from the local rescue community.

The event also includes trick-or-treat booths and they will be participating in the Teal Pumpkin Project and have non-edible treats available for kids with food allergies at each station as well as traditional candy. Attendees are encouraged to wear unique costumes and feel free to put your pet in costume as well.

[yard to table] Mums are a fall flower favorite, so much so that Zeidler’s Flowers in Evansville only keeps them in stock when they start “showing color.”

“The thing with mums is, people want them blooming — the colors are so fabulous,” said Zeidler’s Flowers spokesperson Debbie Clark. “But it takes cool nights to make that happen, so Mother Nature determines that part of the plan.”

Clark said many Warrick customers love incorporating mums into their exterior and interior designs.

“They are very popular in the area,” she said. “They come in so many colors and sizes and are widely used in outdoor displays and decor.”

And during the pre-fall season at Zeidler’s Flowers, the fun is in designing and hand picking their fall bouquets, which include Autumn Inspiration, Bonfire, Branching Out, Fall Classic, Fall Fantasia, Golden Harvest, Harvest Mum, Orange You Pretty and Pumpkin Patch.

“If you ask the question: ‘What is your favorite fall flower among those who work at Zeidler’s?’ You will get a variety of responses,” Clark said. “Sunflowers, viking pomps, orange roses, safflowers.”

But she said the unanimous answer is they love the clean slate of new designs. “[It’s a whole new color palette that’s rich with warm colors of red, yellow, orange, burgundy, touches of purple, and shades of green,” Clark said. “After a long, hot summer, it’s a great change of pace. Also, there are the beautiful accents that are found in nature — wheat, cattails, leaves and lotus pods.”

Below, Clark breaks down what makes up their beautiful, bright and bold fall and Halloween inspired bouquets.

This beautiful mum signifies the season like no other blooming plant? This version is shown in a decorative tin, and decorated with leaves, a lotus pod, wheat and a bow.

Mums make a great gift and seasonal decorations for your home, office or gathering.

28 NEWBURGH MAGAZINE October 2019

WRITER: MARISA PATWA Just like the extras on AMC’s hit TV series “The Walking Dead” have to go to zombie bootcamp, the junior members of the Newburgh Civitan must also go through a similar “scare training” to prepare for the annual haunted house fundraiser.

The Newburgh Civitan Zombie Farm is run by local students in grades 6th through 12th who paint their own gory makeup on, dress up in freaky costumes and hide behind walls or in dark cages to scare people the whole month of October.

Though, it’s all in good fun and to raise money for several local organizations, including Easter Seals.

Newburgh Civitan vice president, Lakota Hebner, has been a member of the Newburgh Civitan Zombie Farm since 2010 and is now on the other side, helping to teach the younger generation how to personify zombies.

“We also watch tutorials online and they can do anything that sparks their interest,” the 25-yearold said. “With the scare training sessions, we teach them how to yell and work with them on their tones and their ability to be big and scary. We are big on no touching, so we have to be big in other ways.”

Zane Smith, a recent Castle graduate, said the fun in getting to terrify people for a few hours is what made him stay on as an adult member after joining as a sophomore.

“It’s just fun to scare people,” he said. “In the shocker scene, it’s two victims and a doctor and whenever someone comes by, we flip on the switch and they get freaked out with the strobe light.

That’s always a good shock.”

Smith said although it’s a thrill to work two to five hours a night — with snack breaks of course —

inside the house, he also enjoys the outside scares.

“We usually have a chainsaw at the end of the house,” Hebner said. “And if there’s a kid who really likes it, we’ll let him use it in the backyard.”

Smith said the shocker scene is not advised for anyone who has epilepsy, while Hebner said the chainsaw is not motorized.

The haunted house takes thrill-seekers through several sets with different themes, set pieces, actors and props, including killer clowns and a giant Bloody Mary.

This year, the organization is resurrecting a giant skeleton piec, which they haven’t used in 10 years.

“They built that in the volley ball pits,” Hebner said. “It’s made out of foam and they covered it in extra latex to toughen it up because it was really destroyed.”

For those who tend to watch scary movies with the covers over their eyes, the Newburgh Civitan also provide no-scare tours, which includes a guide taking patrons through the zombie farm with the lights on and without all of the horror special effects.

“So that way, your first time through a haunted house will be a good experience,” said Newburgh Civitan president Mark Fisher.

Fisher said they are also be hosting a special kids day from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19.

“We will have a bounce house, face painting from the Hadi Shriners,” he said. “And the police and fire departments will also be there.”

But anyone who isn’t afraid of getting some goosebumps should take a visit to the Newburgh Civitan Zombie Farm this month, Smith said.

“It’s a great time and it’s for a great cause,” he said. “Scaring is caring.”
