SECTION TWO - Vote For Gore

There are so many things we love 
about this month, it's impossible 
to fit them all into the newsletter.  
We've poked around and decided to 
offer up one particularly clever 
and one sentimental favorite.  
First, for a one-stop-Halloween
-shopping experience, go to 
http://www.horrorfind.com.
There, you'll discover Halloween 
fonts for your pc and a haunted 
auction.  You can also participate 
in a survey about which movie 
was the most gory and which had 
the best zombies.  The name of the 
survey is...are you ready?...
"Vote for Gore!" (The site gets 
extra credit points for coming 
up with that.) Next, you can go 
to one of this editor's favorite 
places in the world: the Salem 
Witch Museum.   If you can't 
make it to Salem on Halloween, 
you can visit their website.  
Frighteningly enough it's 
called http://www.salemwitchmuseum.com
The museum is more of a 
history lesson about the Salem 
witch trials than anything 
remotely black magic-y.  It's 
linked to The History Channel 
and has been deemed a Safe Site 
by CyberAngels.  We hope every 
Boomer and Boomlet has a safe 
and healthy Halloween!


 
 SECTION THREE - October 15th - 21st Teen Read Week
  


	2000 Theme: Take Time to Read		
	
When teenagers and teachers come to the conclusion 
that more time is needed to read for the fun of it, 
it's time to listen to what they are saying. The 
American Library Association was listening and 
responded by choosing "Take Time To Read" as the 
theme for Teen Read Week 2000, which will be 
observed October 15-21.  The need for more time to 
read is expressed by teens in an online survey 
http://www.smartgirl.com/results/trwsummary.html 
conducted by SmartGirl.com and the Young Adult
Library Services Association during Teen 
Read Week 1999.  Nearly half (43%) of the 
3,072 young men and women between the ages
of eleven and eighteen said they enjoyed 
reading for the fun of it but did not have 
time to do so.  A seventeen-year-old girl from 
Quincy, Massachusetts, said, "I do love reading, 
I just don't have time . . . with work and school. 
I don't like people getting the impression I don't 
read or I don't like to, because I wish I could 
read more for pleasure." 	

Time spent reading is related to reading success. 
Time spent reading is associated with attitudes 
toward additional reading. Time spent reading is 
tied to knowledge of the world. Reading is a 
worthwhile life experience. 




 
 SECTION FOUR - The World Series
 



October is one of those in-between months. It's 
not warm and it's not really cold yet - as I 
said, in-between. There are some wonders that 
occur in October: the leaves turn all those 
beautiful indescribable colors: red-yellow-
orange-brown and tan. The trees turn bare as 
they await the harshness of Winter. But, to 
many of us, October has one meaning: The World 
Series. I was born a Yankee fan in a house full 
of Dodgers. Somehow, I always had a fondness for 
October. Recently, the Yankees have dominated 
the world of major league baseball. This year, as 
I write this, the playoffs are around the corner 
and we will see what we will see. The history of 
the World Series is closely tied to the history 
of our country. Many people remember where they 
were when Don Larson pitched his perfect game 
in 1956. Many remember The Mick, Sandy, Say-hey 
and THAT catch, Carlton Fisk and his begging the 
ball to stay fair, Bob Gibson, Reggie - Reggie - 
Reggie, and on and on and on. To read about the 
World Series year by year, here's a treat 
 The history of the World Series and here is the subwayseries.com 
Web site. 

Let's go Yanks!

Trivia:

Group Members Jimi Hendrix  Marvin Isley  O'Kelly Isley  Ronald Isley  
Rudolph Isley  Everett Collins  Chris Isley  Vernon Isley

The Isley Brothers recruited a young guitarist to 
play on their 1964 tour, a player named Jimmy James. 
The unknown James was actually the legendary Jimi
Hendrix who went on to become the quintessential 
guitar player.  Hendrix also made his first 
recordings with the Brothers Isley.
