Greetings, friends, and welcome to the Halloween edition of the Beach City BUZZ.  Just a few more days until the creepiest, eeriest, scariest night of the year, when little ghosts, goblins, and witches will be knocking upon your chamber door looking for tricks and treats.  Of course, it’s the perfect time to examine some seasonal trivia:  When asked which candy trick or treaters would prefer to find in their Halloween bags, it was discovered that candy corn was chosen as least favorite. The #1 preferred Halloween candy is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups;  A National Retail Federation survey said Americans will spend $8 billion on Halloween this year;  The most popular adult costumes for 2012 are Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, Big Bird and (ugh!) Honey Boo Boo.  (Honey Boo Boo and her mother are the winners of the 2012 BUZZ “Train Wreck Award” - they’re horrible, but you just can’t seem to look away!) For costumes for the young ‘uns, you’ll most likely get a good number of Angry Birds, Harry Potters, Disney Princesses, Super Heroes, and Justin Biebers knocking at your door; The U.S. Census Dept. has put your tax dollars to work unearthing such jaw dropping statistics as:  An estimated 41 million kids ages 5 to 14 are expected to go trick or treating this year, and says that places around the country that may put you in the Halloween mood would be: Tombstone, Arizona, Skull Creek, Nebraska, Pumpkin Bend, Arkansas, and Transylvania County, Pumpkin Center, and Cape Fear, all in North Carolina.  (Apparently, North Carolina is big on Halloween). 15.1% of Americans plan to dress their pet in a costume; If you’re actually afraid of Halloween, your fear has a name - you’re suffering from Samhainophobia;  The average American eats 1.2 pounds of candy on Halloween - the equivalent of 280 M&M’s. (Looks like I am way above average on that statistic). In a recent survey, 45% of all adults said they would be dressing in costume this Halloween.  Count me in!  I’m passing myself off as a writer!  Pretty scary stuff!  Trick or Treat -- here’s the BUZZ - A hearty round of applause to Cindy Tatelman, Director of Revere’s Commission on Disabilities, and her very dedicated volunteers, including Rene Shalachman, Olga Pena, Lucy Cavallo, Rose Lepore, and Florence Gurliaccio, who were awarded Certificates of Appreciation by the Revere City Council.  One of the services which the Commission offers is an Equipment Loan Program - Revere residents may borrow canes, wheelchairs, commodes, crutches and walkers.

A great big thank you to Cindy and crew for all of their hard work...Adrienne Maguire emailed to let us know that it’s time for the Family Fright Night Halloween Bash, sponsored by Mayor Dan Rizzo and the Revere Recreation Department.  It’s Sunday, October 28 beginning at 4:30 PM at City Hall with a parade down Broadway to Harry Della Russo Stadium.  From 5:00 - 7:00 PM, there’s a party at the Stadium with pizza from Nonni’s, soft drinks, goodies, Silly Willy, pony rides, petting zoo, hay rides, moon bounces and more.  It’s FREE to all, and don’t forget your costume!...Ran-dumb thoughts:  Are there Weight Watchers meetings in Gainesville, Florida? This year’s political candidates seem to have a lot in common with my breakfast cereal - same corn, different flakes; If worms took over the world, would we  have global worming? And isn’t a slug just a snail with a housing problem?  A businessman boarded a plane, to find sitting next to him a very elegant woman wearing the largest, most stunning diamond ring he had ever seen.  He asked her about it.  “This is the Klopman Diamond,” she said. It is beautiful, but there is a terrible curse that goes with it.”  “Oh, no! That’s horrible! What’s the curse?” the man asked.  “Mr. Klopman.”...Very, very special Happy Birthday wishes being sent out to one fabulous guy this week, my own second born, Andrew.  You make your MOM proud every day in every way, and may all your birthday wishes come true!...Ward 2 City Councillor Ira Novoselsky emailed to let everyone know that Revere’s 1st Santa Run will take place on Sunday, December 9 from 10:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M. starting at the Cronin Rink – Run, Walk, Crawl – to Revere City Hall and all proceeds will go towards beautifying our city!  For more info, please contact Priscilla at 781-289-3399.
