O u r L ady o f L o u rdes West Islip and North Babylon Patriot Girls 2 . BEACON NEWSPAPER, November 4 ,2010 •Congratulations to Jean and Roger Carpenter! Their daughter, Kerri Tri- carico gave birth to the first boy in the family in at least three generations on Jean’s side! John Francis, Jack, was born on October 21st, weighing 7lbs, 10 oz. The happy father, Michael Tri caría), is beaming about his newborn son, who was 21.75 inches long at birth. Kerri and Michael live in Manhattan, so the grandparents will have many opportunities to dote on Jack. Jean and Roger already cherish two other female grandchildren, Emilie and Ella, children of their daughter Kristin and husband, John VanBourgondien, Jr. •Tip of the week: If you buy new clothes or bed ding, check where it was made. If imported, throw them into the dryer for a few minutes before using. Apparently, this is how the bedbug epidemic has spread. The clothes, etc come into the country with bedbugs or their larvae on them and the buyer’s home becomes infested. The heat from the dryer will kill both bedbugs and their larvae. •The Babylon Rotary Club is donating an industrial freezer, in memory o f Tom Kane, to the food kitchen of the First Presbyterian Church in Babylon Village. •I had a suggestion from one of the readers about limiting the hours that children can trick-or-treat. It seems that in Florida, trick-or-treating is limited to the hours o f 3:00 p.m. to 8 p.m. It sounds like a good idea to me, because there are a lot of people who go to bed early. Let’s face it; no one enjoys having the doorbell ring any later than 8. •Speaking of Halloween, I like to tell the story of something that happened while I was in college in Burlington, Vermont. One night, a group of female students, including myself, were bored. In spite of the fact that Trinity was a Catholic school and we’d all been taught that the Ouija board was “the Devil’s tool”, we decided to play with it. Several of the girls were touching the dial (or whatever it’s called) and asking questions. The Ouija board kept telling us that bad things were going to happen to one o f the girls in the room. I sug gested they ask if there was someone in the room the board didn’t like. The board answered yes and all o f us thought it would name the girl it had been saying bad things would happen to. When the students asked the board who -it didn’t like, all of us were stunned when it spelled out the name. “G-O-D”. That was the end o f using the Ouija board for that group of young women. Since then I have told the story to a number of people and two came back to me to confirm the same thing happened to them when they asked that same question! Burlington is certainly not the Twi light Zone, but it sure felt like it that night! 2nd Thursday Concert Nov. 11 The Babylon Village Arts Council will present its Second Thursday concert, Nov. 11, 7:30 p.m. at the Masonic Lodge, 250 W.
