This is the column in which we always try to give our annual Halloween report. This year we are able to continue the tradition by noting that the Ellsworths had 16 trick-or-treaters. Of course, that would be the trick-or-treat total for the Ohio Ellsworths, the weewe and wee-she.

We must say that we quite agree with everyone who has said to us that they are sick of the upcoming presidential election and can’t wait for it to be over. And we certainly hope that it is by this time next week.

We were interested to learn that on Saturday, Nov. 1 at St. Mary’s Church here in Cooperstown there will be a food event, namely a soup luncheon, held for the benefit of the Cooperstown Food Bank. The idea behind the soup luncheon is based on the Brothers Grimm tale ``Stone Soup’’ in which a village is convinced to help travelers produce a delicious and nourishing soup starting with nothing more than a pot of water and a stone.

Unfortunately, we have decided that we must admit, much as we don’t particularly want to, that we have indeed moved from the summer season into the fall season.

We must say that we do not harbor kind thoughts about hurricane Ike. Our sister Ellen, who lives on the west side of Houston, spent what had to have been a less than pleasant night riding out the effects of Ike. And she was one of the extremely lucky ones as her biggest problem was losing her electricity from Friday evening until the following Tuesday.
