Thanks for the spooky times

Goblins, ghosts and witches joined in the annual Spooky House Halloween event at the Odd Fellows home in Saratoga on Oct. 31. To make this possible, the Saratoga High School Interact Club's more than 25 students planned and implemented this event.

Games, a fortuneteller, face-painting and a very scary haunted house were all part of the safe evening for local children.

The residents and staff thank them for all their community spirit and service, and for the use of their Day of the Dead figures, which added to the special function.

What will they think of next?

I have seen dumb ideas in my life and probably did even dumber things, but the recent action of the Planning Commission in this city takes the cake. I have a dumber idea: instead of having the One World School parents place a placard on their dash so the neighbors can have a peek, why not have them sew an armband on? An armband probably can be seen easier and will also identify these parents when they are not in the vicinity of the school, so that the whole world will know where the One Worlders are. What business is it of anyone who comes and goes to the school and how they get there?

The school is either approved or it isn't. What will the Planning Commission think of next? This whole thing reminds me in a small way about a recent past event. Are we repeating history here in Saratoga?
