The List

Friday night, the school board, and what costs nothing.

New, and the only section in this paper written for a reader still in high school. One piece a week, on the Friday night it happens. The register is deliberately not the rest of the paper's.

Out of the House

The haunted trail is the 29th and the 30th. Not Halloween.

GTM's EstuSCARY trail runs two nights, Thursday the 29th and Friday the 30th, 7 to 9:30. The web address for it says oct-29-31 and the page never says the 31st once. Free trick-or-treating on St. George Street runs until 4 this afternoon. The Alligator Farm is open for Creatures of the Night tonight until 9. The Hastings trunk-or-treat that was on for tonight is cancelled. And if you are under 16, the Elkton corn maze will turn you away at the gate without an adult.

Screens and Sound

Under 17? The 8 o'clock show needs an adult who is 21.

Both cinema chains in this county publish their door rules and neither puts them on the poster. At Epic, anybody under 17 needs an adult of 21 or older for any film starting at 8 p.m. or later, whatever it is rated. Under 12 cannot see an R at all. Twelve to 16 needs a parent sitting there the whole way through. Photo ID is required for an R. And for Halloween week there is one more: masks, hoods and makeup that cover your face are not allowed in.
