Of vengeful spirits, ghouls and jack-o’-lanterns By David Myers

Stillwater NewsPress • Thursday, October 29, 2020

About Real Estate

At least one man killed during the Salem Witch Trials may have obtained his revenge from beyond his grave. DEAR DAVE: I grew up in Massachusetts, so I am quite familiar with the Salem witch trials in the early 1690s. As a kid, we also heard lots of stories about the ghosts of those who were killed because they were wrongly accused of being witches or warlocks but now haunt the area today. Are any of them true? ANSWER: Thousands of local residents and visitors from around the world have claimed to have seen the spirits of the 19 men and women who were put to death for allegedly practicing witchcraft in the Salem, Mass., area during a gruesome 15-month period that began in February 1692. Hundreds more were accused and many of them imprisoned, where some of them died in filthy conditions. Many of the departed souls who were killed during the brief but deadly mass hysteria that gripped the Colonial village in 1692-93 have allegedly been caught on (often grainy) photographs or videotape, roaming around the places where they are buried, were hung or otherwise brutally put to

death. The most famous of these restless wanderers is said to be the ghost of Giles Corey. He was a wealthy farmer and devout churchgoer who was accused by five girls of “being in league with the devil,” perhaps because he had a reputation as being an inconsiderate and short-tempered man. Corey was arrested and pled “not guilty,” but refused a jury trial because he knew that the law back then said that a suspect could not be condemned nor executed until he was proven innocent or guilty. He was thrown into prison but essentially remained mute, perhaps because he figured that he would automatically be found guilty by a hysteria-fueled jury if he uttered a single word. Exasperated by his refusal to stand trial, a local court eventually broke the state of Massachusetts’s own laws by deciding that he should undergo the brutal torture of “pressing” – a process usually reserved to make a suspect admit to a crime, whether guilty or not, and go to prison or be hanged rather than suffer a far longer and painful death. Corey was soon dragged naked to an open field and placed into a shallow pit. Bricks and heavy stones were then laid atop his body and more were gradually

added because Corey still wouldn’t make a confession. After nearly three days of suffering excruciating pain, with no food or water, local sheriff George Corwin knelt on the ground next to Corey after seeing his sun-blistered lips finally move. Sheriff Corwin thought that Corey was finally going to admit to his alleged witchcraft crimes. But instead, Corey uttered these now infamous words: “More weight!” It’s unsure whether the sheriff obliged. Corey lived a few hours longer, but not before some witnesses say that the dying man uttered one last thing. “Damn you,” Corey moaned to the sheriff. “I curse you, and I curse all of Salem.” Sheriff Corwin died not long after. He suffered a fatal heart attack, although he was only 30. Several of Corwin’s succeeding sheriffs reported seeing the ghost of Giles Corey. Some also then suffered heart problems or other ailments, and a few of them also died at an early age. Their building was eventually demolished and rebuilt in nearby Middleton, where no sightings of Corey’s ghostly apparition have been reported. Law enforcement officials aside, Corey may have gotten revenge on his once-beloved Salem, too. Sev-

eral people said that they had seen his ghostly figure shortly before the Great Salem Fire of 1914, which killed and injured dozens and left a staggering half of the city’s 36,000 residents homeless. The blaze began near an area called Gallows Hill – not far from where Corey’s wife, Martha, had been hung for allegedly being a witch within days of Giles Corey’s own death. ••• DEAR DAVE: Are we the only country that carves jack-o’lanterns? ANSWER: No. It’s a ritual that’s performed in many parts of the world around

this time of year. The custom actually began in Ireland and Scotland in the 1800s. But the people there used large potatoes or turnips instead, because pumpkin seeds hadn’t been introduced to that part of the world yet. When the Irish and Scots started coming in droves to the U.S. in the 1890s, they brought their carving custom with them but found the larger, more colorful pumpkins easier and more fun to work with. It didn’t take long for the ritual to spread. ••• DEAR DAVE: Have you ever heard of a ghost called “Bandage Man”?

NEW PRICE! L

IMM

P ING

ANSWER: Sure. He’s a well-known spirit that countless people say they have encountered in and around picturesque Cannon Beach, Ore., a town of about 1,700 people that’s roughly 75 miles northwest of Portland. Many locals believe he’s the gruesome but harmless ghost of a lumberjack who was chopped nearly to death in a sawmill accident, rushed to the local hospital, bandaged heavily but died there. Residents of Can-

non Beach have reported coming back to their homes after a long day of work, only to find a broken window or door. Their valuables usually aren’t missing, but there’s a foul odor in the air and, sometimes, small pieces of bloody bandages. Bandage Man apparently likes to travel, too. His bloody spirit, smelling of rotting flesh, has been reported as posing as a hitchhiker and then jumping (uninvited) into the backseat of a car.

Stillwater NewsPress • Thursday, October 29, 2020

While Payne County was fortunate in that our first round of rain fell while temperatures were above freezing, parts of our area still suffered significant ice damage. Here are some things to keep in mind as we move beyond the storm. Assuming you have an otherwise healthy tree or shrub, there is not much you could have done to prevent ice damage from happening. It is best to simply let the process play out. Trying to be proactive and covering plants will end up causing more damage since the covering will catch and hold more ice than if the plants are left unprotected. Once the storm is over, the first priority is to make absolutely sure no downed power lines are in the area. If there are, your landscape can wait; it’s just not worth the risk. Once it is safe to do so, it can be helpful to take photos of the plants that appear to be damaged. Photos can serve a couple of purposes. If you do have to call in a tree care professional, it may help them to know what the tree looked like at its worst since ice damage splits or ruptures can virtually disappear after the ice melts and the limb springs back into place.

Many of Boeck’s clients were already homeowners, living in homes and in neighborhoods they enjoyed, but with no accessible bedrooms or bathrooms. They would hire him to design a new master bedroom suite downstairs, or making a bedroom and bathroom wheelchair accessible. In addition to teaching at OU, Boeck serves as the Planning Commissioner for the city. He teamed up with attorney Bill Hickman, NCC member Kate Bierman, former NCC member Sereta Wilson, Jeff Hughes with Progressive Independence, occupational therapist Kendra Orcutt, Wanda DeBruler, a public housing developer who specializes in accessibility and Mary Dulan with the Metropolitan Fair Housing Council of Oklahoma to put together a visitability code

ordinance that establishes minimum regulations for the design criteria for visitable homes. Boeck said the ordinance incentivizes builders to construct visitable homes. “Builders pay local taxes on building materials, and we figured that if they withdrew the city tax on building materials, then they could save up to $8,000 on materials cost,” Boeck said. After conversing with Attorney Sean Rieger, who deals with zoning changes about visitable housing for the city of Norman, Boeck received Reeves’ contact information. Reeves had built eight floor plans at the Springs at Native Plains neighborhood, located at SW 164th and Pennsylvania Avenue in south Oklahoma City, and invited Boeck to come walk those

plans with the purpose of planning for a similar community in Norman. “We walked those together and [Boeck] was pleasantly surprised that we had incorporated some things into those homes for visitable living, but he also had some great ideas that he would like to see us include and obviously it starts out with things like building a house with no steps,” Reeves said. In 2018, the Landmark Homes team gained experience in building a visitable home in Norman for Tamera Fore and her spouse, a disabled veteran who had an amputation above the knee on one leg. The house features lowered cabinets, wide doorways, an open floor

plan and a large roll in shower. “We took out the bathtub in some of the plans, and they were able to make a very large shower that allows her to get her wheelchair in the shower, and it doesn’t have any ledges so she doesn’t have to worry about a hump she has to get over,” Fore said. “It doesn’t have a glass shower enclosure or a curtain, but it drains well so no water gets on the bathroom floor.” Fore said her spouse sometimes requires oxygen, so the house also has a generator in case the power goes out. For the new community in Norman, Reeves is looking to incorporate features like three-door openings, extra room in

the bathrooms for wheelchair maneuverability, cabinets close to the ground and space under counters for an individual in a wheelchair. “[Boeck] has had some great ideas and we were thankful to get to learn from him,” Reeves said. As aging in place continues to grow in popularity, Boeck said he would like to see more developers try to incorporate visitability into their builds. He said no developers are venturing into doing visitable “spec homes,” movein ready starter homes that some local builders focus on, but hopes that will change in the future with the success of visitable custom homes.

annually for an average car, or about 650,000 pounds of coal burned at a conventional power plant. “In three and half years, we’ve provided 60,000 meals and there have been times when our utility bills have been so high that we didn’t know how we were going to pay them, but we always managed to. That’s where we got the idea for the need for solar panels,” said Tri-Community Association President J.R. Sellers. “We couldn’t do what we are doing if it wasn’t for Cherokee Nation. We are getting things today that we couldn’t get any other way.

To say thank you would be an understatement.” NAFI, serving residents of South Coffeyville in Nowata County, was the first Cherokee community organization to receive the solar panels. NAFI received 11 solar panels with a 4.4kW system, which will offset approximately 70 percent of the community building’s energy costs, saving more than $23,000. The system is estimated to reduce emissions equivalent to nearly 10,200 miles annually in an average car, or 110,000 pounds of coal. – Cherokee Nationa Media

ment, and one result of that investment is enabling Cherokee community buildings to install rooftop solar panels,” Hoskin said. “I could not be prouder of these two organizations, who have served as the local leads for food storage and distribution to elders and Cherokee families in need. By reducing their energy costs, we free up dollars to help more citizens and feed more people. Our community organizations will be able to expand their reach, and we hope this is just the beginning of building similar cost-saving installations for other Cherokee community buildings.” Under the Housing, Jobs and Sustainable Communities Act, 75 percent of the $30 million is helping Cherokee citizens with housing repairs. The other 25 percent is set aside to upgrade Cherokee community buildings with connectivity and sustainability projects such as solar power, HVAC systems and Wi-Fi connectivity. The solar proj-

Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr., Deputy Chief Bryan Warner and other tribal officials met with community leaders to cut the ribbon on the energy-efficient projects as part of the $30 million Housing, Jobs and Sustainable Communities Act Chief Hoskin announced in August 2019. “A fundamental principle of our Cherokee culture is that we should consider the impact of what we do today on the next seven generations of future Cherokees. We are answering this sacred responsibility by investing in strong communities and a clean and healthy environ-

Blowout US economic growth in summer is already fading By Chris Rugaber

WASHINGTON – Americans may feel whiplashed by a report Thursday on the economy’s growth this summer, when an explosive rebound followed an epic collapse. The government will likely estimate that the economy grew faster on an annualized basis last quarter than in any such period since record-keeping began in 1947. Just be forewarned: The sizzling pace won’t last. The economy is weakening and facing renewed threats. Confirmed viral cases are surging. Hiring has sagged. Government stimulus has run out. And even last quarter’s outsize growth will leave the economy far below its level before the pandemic struck in March. “The strength of this figure is an optical illusion,” Nancy Vanden Houten, an economist at Oxford Economics, wrote in a research note. “Growth has since slowed, and we expect markedly weaker activity” in the October-December quarter and beyond In the last major report on the U.S. economy before Election Day, economists have forecast that growth in

“The big issue is not how big the third quarter rebound is, but how fast is the next phase of the recovery coming?”

the July-September quarter soared to a 31% annual rate, according to data provider FactSet. That would follow a plunge of 31.4% in the April-June period – by far the worst quarterly drop ever – when the eruption of the coronavirus closed businesses and threw tens of millions out of work. If the analysts’ outlook proves roughly accurate, the economy, as of last quarter, will have recovered only a bit more than two-thirds of the output it lost to the pandemic recession. The economy shrank at a 5% annual rate in the first three months of the year. Mathematically, a bounce-back that equals or even slightly exceeds an earlier drop doesn’t mean the economy has fully recovered. The reason is that the rebound comes off a smaller numerical base. To use a simple example: A drop from 100 to 70 is a 30% fall. Yet a 30% rebound from 70 gets you only back to 91. You’d need a 43% gain to get back to 100. There are deeper reasons, too, for viewing Thursday’s report on gross
