'Our Town' presents farewell performances

Halloween care advised

This is the last weekend to see "Our Town" in the Palomar College CommunityTheatre. Performances tonight and tomorrow are at 7:30 p.m. David Boyd has directed the Thornton Wilder drama.

Boyd also said he has decided to follow the original production, choosing not to use sets or props. "It's pretty much up to the imagination of the audience to fill in the pieces."

A critically acclaimed drama, "Our Town" is set at the turn of the century in a New Hampshire village. Director David Boyd said there is "A little humor and some very moving moments. The play reflects centuries of time, social history and religious ideals of the villagers."

"It's probably one of the most done productions in high school and college. It provides roles for a wide variety of talent. 'Our Town' is a good way to get your feet wet in acting."

Did you fmd Halloween less than thrilling as a child? Did you fmd the costumed adults frightening and the long walks tiring?

If so, you're not alone, according to associate professers Dr. Goody Berk and Ms. Margie Ruzich of the Child Development Department.

According to Berk and Ruzich, the Halloween holiday is actually geared more towards adults than children, and parents should take care in how they celebrate the event with their child.

A main concern expressed by Berk and Ruzich is the fear children have of masks and costumes. They say from infancy to about eight years of age, children can't differentiate between a mask and reality, and they are frightened when a parent or someone else they know puts on a mask.

There are several reasons why a child reacts with fear to a mask. The first is that the mask is unfamiliar to him. A child who has become accustomed to family and friends suddenly finds a stranger in the room and is likely to become frightened.

To the child the mask is not play or fantasy, it is real. The person with the mask is a strange being that the child doesn't recognize and this causes that child anxiety.

Not only are the masks unfamiliar to the children, they are also often grotesque or unnatural looking. A face with only one eye and pointed teeth can be unfamiliar, unnatural and frightening.

Even if a mask is not meant to be scary it can still cause a child anxiety.

This is because, unlike a human face, the features in a mask do not move.

The lips don't move when we talk, the eyes don't blink and the eyebrows don't go up and down. There is no expression. This is unnatural, unfamiliar, and, once again, can frighten the child.

Not only the way we look but also the way we act when we wear a costume can make a child anxious.

Often when we put on a costume we change the sound of our voice ~d say unusual things. In addition, people in costumes often thrust themselves at others in order to scare them. This invasion of a child's "personal space" can be distressing, according to Berk and Ruzich.

Although Berk and Ruzich discourage masks and scary costumes, they

tory and composition of earthquakes, factors that affect their intensity, location and major faults, the mechanics of seismographs and the prediction of earthquakes.

Special emphasis is placed on the causes of earthquakes and what to do if they occur in Southern California and specifically in San Diego County.

Persons desiring more information about the broadcast may call the Office of Television and Productions at Ext. 2431.

do offer alternatives. Their first suggestion is that parents let their children use face paint. The child won't have to deal with a suffocating mask, he will have control over what his face will look like and he will still have natural facial expression and movement.

The professors suggest that costumes be concocted from items found

in the home. They discourage parents from spending lots of money or hours at a sewing machine on a costume for their child.

"These costumes that parents spend so much time on are for the parents, not the kids," says Dr. Berk. "Lots of little kids don't even like to dress up."

She stresses that the costume should be a negotiated agreement between the parent and the child. She suggests fantasy figures like Cinderella and Superman, because "they meet our needs to be adventurous, without having to leave the home."

Music of Beethoven and Bach will be featured in the first concert of the Palomar Community Orchestra Sunday at 3 p.m. in the Palomar College Community Theatre. Robert Gilson will conduct.

Two works by Beethoven, the Symphony No. 2 in D Ml\ior and the Piano Concerto No. 1 will be on the program.

Pianist Dr. Peter Gach is the soloist for the piano concerto.

The orchestra concludes the program with Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5.

Ticket prices are $7 general admission, $5 for senior citizens and $4 for students.

Tickets are available through the Theatre Box Office. The same concert will be repeated on November 7 at 7:30 p.m.

For ticket information call Ext. 2453.

It was stressed that parents shouldn't promote cultural stereotypes by having their children dress up such as Indians or Hawaiians. "We want to be careful that we don't use children as vehicles to foster our own stereotypes," says Ruzich.

The professors gave other tips for a safe and happy Halloween: Draw a face on your pumpkin, or use Mr. Potatohead pieces. Children under five years don't appreciate all the carving that goes into making a jack-o-lantern.

HUMOR

Writer remembers hobo Halloweens

By Robin Rauch

I've been trying to think of my favorite Halloween costume from my trick-ortreating years, but the only word that keeps coming to mind is "bum."

I certainly did dress up as a bum for many of my trick-or-treat outings, but it bothers me that it should come to mind as my favorite costume of all time.

You see, I was one of a houseful of dirty screaming children, and there was never much money in my family for fancy plastic costumes from the aisles of Sav-on. I dreamed about being a princess or a fairy angel for Halloween, but I usually wound up being a bum.

Year after year, we children were left to rummage through the closets and the garage to fmd something that would make us look scarier than we already did. At least two weeks before the haunted night arrived, we'd sit around in the family room chewing on the wax lips we were wearing and discussing what great costumes we could come up with for that year.

We talked about get-ups like witches and cats, and some of the more ambitious of my siblings even managed to get these costumes together. We talked about being something crazy, like a pumpkin, or a toothbrush, or Sister Bernice. We considered ghosts and flowers and monsters. But generally, when the long awaited night arrived and we were all ready and dressed to head out the door, at least half of us were dressed as bums.

I think this is partly because a bum outfit was the easist to access, and partly because we got to get really dirty when we dressed as bums. It was easy to find the costume, because all we had to do was open my dad's closet.

We'd start with some sort of plaid sportscoat and then choose striped trousers to go with it. The shoes were anything from sneakers to loafers (still dad's, of course), and the shirt was anything that clashed properly. All these items were sufficiently oversized and worn in such a

way that it looked as though we had just picked them out of the trash can.

Next came the make-up, which was the really good part. We'd start with a charcoal briquette, which we would first rub all over our faces. I think this was supposed to give the effect of a 5 o'clock shadow, or what would now be termed "The Don Johnson Look." Next we would rub the charcoal on the backs of hands and any other visible body parts. I think this was supposed to be dirt.

The next step was my mother's black eyelining pencil, which we would use to black out a few of our front teeth. I don't know how, or if, we got this off the next morning.

The fmal step was the Vaseline petroleum jelly, which we would scoop out of the jar and run through our hair, to make it look as greasy and dirty as possible.

There were several · variations to this outfit. Some of us would don a hat, or carry a stick with a bundle tied to the end (a Hobo Kelly), or bring along a dog on a leash.

But regardless of the variations, the bum outfit was consistently a success. It was comfortable, which allowed for easy running from house to house. It had a jacket, which provided comfort on chilly nights, and could be removed when one got too warm. And it matched perfectly with large· pillow cases, which is what we always used to collect candy.

As I write this, laughing and smiling and remembering along the way, I think I understand why a bum was my favorite costume. But I must admit that I have also remembered that one year I did dress as a princess. I recall very little, except that my dress was white and I was wearing a plastic mask from the glorious halls of Savon.

The thing that stands out the most is that it was very hot inside the mask, and my breathing made the air condense inside, so that my face was wet and sticky the whole evening. I don't think it was a good night.

No wonder I repressed it.

Being a bum is a much nicer thing to remember.

HUMOR

Holiday gives chance to relive childhood

By Fred Tracey

Halloween holds many memories for me.

I suppose my fondest memories are of when my friends and I would play pranks in the neighborhood. The lucky part was that we never got caught. Most of the pranks were harmless; well, some of them.

Each Halloween would mean different pranks. When people are too old to take part in the traditional "trick or treating" from door-to-door they must fmd other activities to take up their time.

One "activity" that was a favorite in my neighborhood involved water balloons and cars. This was not a particular favorite of mine. I could imagine some poor old soul driving down the street only to fmd a water balloon exploding on his windshield, resulting in a heart attack and accident.

For some of my cohorts, water wasn't the only thing that could be used in the balloons.

Other pranks were more traditional. Door bell ditching was in. One time we picked a house of a resident nobody was really fond of. The idea was to quietly walk up to the door and either knock or ring the door bell and run away as fast as we could without getting caught. This one family had gone out for the evening and left their lights on inside their house. We didn't know they were gone.

I proceeded up to the door, with my friends behind me, knocked on the door and proceeded to turn around to run. What we didn't know was that the family was pulling into the driveway just as we were leaving.

We all ran in different directions. I ran to hide in some bushes down the street. The family car passed by slowly within minutes looking for us. Luckily we got away. But we never picked that house again.

My favorite prank some people will find cruel.

We would fmd a life-sized baby doll and just before dusk we would put the baby doll in the middle of the street and hide in nearby bushes to see what the drivers would do. Being that it was just about dark, nobody could tell if the doll was real or not.

Some drivers would actually slow to a halt and make an inspection only to fmd that it was a toy. This happened two or three times until one driver came to a screeching halt and looked out to see that it was a toy. He got back in his car and pulled into reverse then fowarded it, running over our doll. The various parts flew in all different directions, to our delight.

Now that the maturity has set in, Halloween has taken on new meanings. I still like to dress up, as do lots of people my age. Being able to dress up just on one day is an opportunity to re-live part of one's childhood.

REVIEW

Cast performs well, finds play's essence

By Fred Tracey "Our Town" is one of those productions which require the cast to capture the essence of the time period the play is set in.

Director David Boyd has assembled such a cast for Palomar's version of Thornton Wilder's turn of the century drama.

Set in a New Hampshire village, "Our Town" tells of two young people's short life together. The play is principally centered around George and Emily (Lon Sierra and Daniela Heggem). The two meet as teenagers and eventually fall in love and marry.

During childbirth, Emily dies. She is given the opportunity to go back for one day. She does, but comes back with the realization that she is unable to say things she wanted to say when she was alive.

Heggem gives an excellent portrayal as Emily. She was able to cover the wide range of emotions that character goes through during the course of the play. During the fmal moments, Heggem's performance was at its best.

Lon Sierra's performance was also well done. His character, George, probably represents every naive teenager finally discovering girls. Even in this time period, the emotions are the same as they are today.

Sierra captures it well.

The play is transitioned together by Russ Noel who acts as the stage manager, giving narration and telling the audience about the characters and sometimes interacting with the cast and audience. Noel is a versatile actor.

Excellent performances were given by Patrick McBride (Dr. Gibbs, sort of the old country doctor). McBride's character is believable and well projected. Rhonda Revette's performance as Mrs. Gibbs was also well acted as was Bruce Blackwell's Mr. Webb.

Other notable performances were given

by Eric Rumpler as Howie Newsom, and James-Garcia as Simon Stimson, the church choir director with a drinking problem everyone in the village seems to know about.

Final performances are tonight and tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the Palomar Theater. Those who come in costume on Halloween will be admitted for $2, those who don't come in costume will get two tickets for the price of one. Tickets are $5 for students and seniors, $6 for general admission.

Letter to Editor I

Caring for the planet should be everyone's business, as we all have a stake in its health.

The human race threatens itself with extinction in many ways, but the issue I wish to address is pollution.

The problem lies in seeing ecology as something apart from ourselves, instead of living our lives responsibly.

Recently I have read several articles explaining the serious enviromental hazards produced by the use of Styrofoam. Toxic wastes are created in its production, it is nonbiodegradable, and chlorofluorocarbon gas used in its production breaks down the earth's ozone layer.

The other day I went into the cafeteria to buy a coke and couldn't help noticing that the containers that are offered are made of Styrofoam. In an institution of education, it seems unwise to show disregard to this problem. Through education, solutions to serious problems can be discovered.

I urge the students and staff of Palomar to join me in boycotting Styrofoam products. In the meantime, perhaps the cafeteria will find a suitable replacement for these containers.

Wrestling team loses grip 21-20

By Scott Lane Wrestling coach John ·woods remains optimistic despite seeing his team let what seemed like a sure win against Rancho Santiago October 21 slip away when the Comets were pinned in each of the final two matches. · Palomar had a 20-9 lead going into the night's fmal two matches when Raab Rydeen (190 lb.) and Mike Butler (hvwt.) each went down . "We were wrestling really well. We've just got a lot of freshmen ," said Woods. He went on noting that Rydeen had beaten his opponent before, but just made some mistakes. Palomar lost the meet 2120.

Mermen face crucial games

By Robert Rowsey With two more must-win games ahead of them, and the Comets water polo squad pulling together nicely, coach Greg Ormsby is looking to the future.

Recent wins against Cypress have added to the Comets' enthusiasm.

Coach Ormsby thinks the slump experienced after the October 2 game against S.D. Mesa is over.

"We're back on track now. I don't think anyone thinks we played our best the first time around," said Ormsby of his team's fust meeting with Mesa.

He noted Brian Seymore's skilled performances on both offense and defense, and Terry Wrightson's agressive defense of the goal as being two strong points of the teams recovery.

Consistant scoring by Jose McNally, Brian Williams, and Jay Rafails pro: vided a good shot in the arm as well.

Contributing in the October 20 victory over Rancho Santiago 13-6 were-Seymore with four and McNally with three each. Joe Huizar, Bill Freeman and Bill Coffm scored one each.

On October 23 the Comets tromped Cypress 17-9. High scorers in the win were Seymore with seven goals, while Rafail, McNally and Huizar had two each.

Williams, Rob Stepanow, Freeman, Mike Jarvis, all scored one each. Goalie Wrightson frustrated Cypress with 15 saves.

record to 4-3 following the loss to Rancho Santiago. Woods expressed disappointment regarding the loss but believes his team has great potential.

"I was a little disappointed to lose that last duel meet. We're coming around though. We have lots of talent and if some of the other teams don't watch out we might just go and win the state meet. We're six or seven weeks away from state so we've got time."

Currently the Comets have four wrestlers ranked in the top six in the state. Andre Bartlett (ll8) is ranked fourth, Mike Field (126) is also fourth, Glen Clutter (167) is ranked second, and Brian Millum (134) and Mark Fredricks are wrestling well at this point in the season.

The results from the duel meet against Rancho Santiago are as follows: Andre Bartlett (118) dec. over Joey DeLaVega (Rancho) (3-0).

Mike Field (129) lost to Bo-Bo Leyva (3-0).

Mike Saletta (134) dec. over Pablo Garcia ( 4-0).

John Nelson (145) lost dec. to Bill Furnish (3-0).

Mark Fredricks (150) pinned Mike Gayer (6-0).

George Oakley (158) lost dec. over Danny Furnish (3-0).

Glenn Clutter (167) won dec. over Matt Fletcher (3-0).

Brian Millum (177) won dec. over Rob Frick ( 4-0).

Raab Rydeen (190) was pinned by Corry Watlick (6-0).

Heavyweight Mike Butler was pinned by Dave Grisafe (6-0).

The wrestlers travel to Cypress this weekend for the two day Cypress Tournament. Next Wednesday Coach Woods' crew faces Cerritos there at 7:30p.m.

Soccer squad tops El Camino Coach Judy Mazzarella's women's soccer team took only five shots against El Camino, number one ranked in the state, but it was enough for the Comets to win 3-2.

Alyce McNally scored the flrst goal on a penalty kick, and then was assisted by Noemi Lizalde and Sheri Miranda for her second. The flnal goal, made by Tracy O'Rourke, was assisted

by Roma Pylant.

Mazzarella said that the outstanding defensive players were goalkeeper Janice Taft with 17 saves, Milena Iacobelli at right fullback and Catherine Curren at sweeper.

El Camino, prior to the game with the Comets, was 9-0. Palomar after the game on October 23, is 4-4-2 in the South Coast Conference.

On October 20 the Comets tied Bakersfield with only one score by Tracy O'Rourke, assisted by Lisa Leese.

Defensive standouts were Gerri Richards and Michele House.

The next home games scheduled are today at 3 p.m. against Oxnard and Friday, November 6 at 2:30p.m.

It was a big win without question, but after watching the Palomar Comets' 27-16 victory over Citrus College last Saturday, it is still obvious the Comets have some rough edges to work out.

As has been the case during the previous three weeks when the Comets stumbled to an 0-2-1 mark.

The inability to punch the ball into the end zone is still a shortcoming of the Palomar offensive attack.

In the flrst half the Comets were inside the Citrus 30 yard line four times but came away with only three points on a John Ashworth three pointer.

"We let two touchdowns get away," said Comet head coach Tom Craft.

"Those are the opportunities that we have to capitalize on. We could have easily been up 24-0 at the half."

However, the Comets were able to bounce back after several minor setbacks and gain the Mission Conference victory.

Palomar entered the contest without the services of leading rusher Tracey Kenney (flu) and defensive back Will Reed (neck il\iury).

And once the game started they lost

starting quarterback Mark Heintschel after a pulled hamstring on a 23 yard option touchdown run for the first score of the ballgame.

Enter freshman Brent Watson. On the afternoon Watson came through with a stellar performance, hitting 17 of 29 passes for 176 yards and a touchdown.

After the game coach Craft was pleased with the effort of his defense.

"We only took away their strength as a team," referring to Palomar only allowing 45 yards rushing on 36 carries. "We contained their rushing attack and that was the key to the game."

That second half begins Saturday when the Comets travel up to Rancho Santiago College. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

Haunted houses on local agenda

By Fred Tracey Tonight and tomorrow night are the last chances to visit some local "haunted houses" as part of Halloween.

"Scream in the Dark" has been popular in the past. This year they are housed in the auto shop in the old Sears store in Hillcrest. You'll be able to visit the Insane Asylum as well as "Nightmare on Elm Street." At presstime, hours and admission prices were not available.

"The Halloween Tour of Terror at Starlight Bowl" has received good reviews. Hours are 6:30p.m. to 10 p.m.

Starlight Bowl is located in Balboa Park next to the Aerospace Museum.

Admission is $4.

Locally, "The Haunting of the Moonlight" takes place at the Moonlight Amphitheatre, 1200 Vale Terrace, Vista in Brengle Terrace Park. Hours tonight are 6:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. tomorrow night.

Admission is $3.

Those who want to take a more "classical" approach to Halloween, California Ballet presents their worldpremier ballet, "Dracula," in Symphony Hall in San Diego. Call560-5676 or 276-5820 for more information.

can be found where her love lies, in the water. Appropriately enough, Miller has a house with an ocean view.

"I find swimming in the ocean destressful," she said. "It's a release for me to use my own strength to propel through the water like a fish."

Miller also described the love for water as a type of baptism.

She prepares for high activity by running for her cardiovascular system and weight lifting for endurance.

Miller says she doesn't like to compete because that requires preparation time and preparation time takes away from some of her more fun activities.

Miller has expressed an interest in doing more rough water swims. "Now that I've gotten the hang of it, I'll do it more."

A commitment to health and an obsession with activity are two factors that helped Maria Miller complete the rough water swim at La Jolla Cove last September.

Miller is an associate professor in the Counseling Department and a teacher here.

The thirty-three year old Miller doesn't consider herself competitive but says she does enjoy the activities she participates in.

"Rough water swimming is usually done in the ocean but it also is done in the cove," Miller said. "The water was at 67 degrees, which is pretty normal for the water in that area."

Miller said the challenge is the temperature of the water, the kelp and changing currents.

She completed the swim in 40 minutes, missing her goal of a 36 minute fmish.
