Haunted Victorian Ghost Walk
PLATTSMOUTH, NE –The Plattsmouth Conservancy Inc. is the host of the 2010 Haunted Victorian Ghost Walk. The event will be held in Plattsmouth on Friday, October 22, and Saturday, October 23, 2010. The walk will start at 7:30p.m. each evening and conclude at 10:00 p.m.
Step back in time and visit historical homes and buildings nestled within the haunted hills of Plattsmouth.
Follow the night watchman to each location to experience a chilling evening of frightful ghost stories from present day and years gone by.
Guests will travel by foot with lantern carriers to three historic homes and the historic Cass County Court House under the care of the night watchman. Along the way story tellers will tell true ghost stories from the local Plattsmouth area.
Guests will also have the opportunity to step inside the historic homes and courthouse and listen to Victorian Ghost Stories and Nebraska Ghost stories portrayed by a cast of actors in Victorian period attire.
Following the walking tour all guests are invited to meet at the Historic Plattsmouth Public Library for light refreshments and a viewing of the silent movie “Dracula”.
This is not your typical “Haunted House” event. There will be no skeletons popping out at you or giant spiders dropping down on you. But.. perhaps you will catch a glimpse of a ghostly spirit who chooses to make their presence known at this time of year when the veil between our world and the spirit world is most easily penetrated.
Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased at “Antiques Off Main”, 125 South 5th Street, Plattsmouth, Nebraska. They can also be purchased through the mail by contacting Leigh Jean Koinzan at the contact information above. Advanced reservations are required.

Gale offers voter guidelines for Election Day
LINCOLN – Secretary of State John Gale offered guidelines for Nebraska voters to prepare for the Nov. 2 general election.
“Going to the polls in Nebraska is easy and convenient,” Gale said. “But there are some simple steps you can take to make sure your voting experience goes smoothly.”
Gale offered the following guidelines for Election Day:
--Check your voter registration and polling place. People can check the status of their voter registration and location of their polling place by contacting their county election office or accessing https://www.votercheck.necvr.
--Change of address. If a registered voter has moved within a county (out of their former precinct) and not updated their registration, the person should go to the polling place associated with their current residence. The person will be required to vote a provisional ballot.
--Be prepared. Before going to the polls, the voter should become informed about the candidates and issues on the ballot. Sample ballots are printed in newspapers and posted on county websites. Mark and take the sample ballot with you to the polling place.
--Conduct at the polls. To maintain proper decorum at the polls, it is requested that people turn off their cell phones.
--Campaigning prohibited. Campaign items such as buttons, stickers and T-shirts are not allowed in a polling place. It is illegal to campaign within 200 feet of a polling site.
--Voter identification. Proper identification will be required at the polling place of people who are newly registered by mail and did not provide identification. These people will be required to provide identification showing their current residence. Identification at the polling place is not required of other voters.
Polls are open on Election Day from 8 a.m. CDT (7 a.m. MDT) to 8 p.m. CDT (7 p.m. MDT).

Halloween, celebrated each year on October 31, is a mix of ancient Celtic practices, Catholic and Roman religious rituals and
European folk traditions that blended together over time to create the holiday we know today. Straddling the line between fall
and winter, plenty and paucity and life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. Halloween has long
been thought of as a day when the dead can return to the earth, and ancient Celts would light bonfires and wear costumes to
ward off these roaming ghosts. The Celtic holiday of Samhain, the Catholic Hallowmas period of All Saints' Day and All Souls'
Day and the Roman festival of Feralia all influenced the modern holiday of Halloween. In the 19th century, Halloween began
to lose its religious connotation, becoming a more secular community-based children's holiday. Although the superstitions and
beliefs surrounding Halloween may have evolved over the years, as the days grow shorter and the nights get colder, people
can still look forward to parades, costumes and sweet treats to usher in the winter season.
Enjoy your Halloween preparations, Louisvillians! Take a look at the Scarecrows Among Us to get into the spirit! :)
Have a wonderful week, Louisvillians!
