Haunted House SALEM Rik Sassa wants you
to have a scary good time this Halloween.
Sassa is one of the main men behind turning the historic Salem Courthouse into a haunt-ed courthouse leading up to everybody’s favorite spooky holiday.
The show starts on Friday, Oct.
12, and runs for the next three weekends from 6 to 9:30 p.m.
each night, cul-minating the
weekend before Halloween.Sassa said the organizers try
to provide something for all ages, with both scary and funny versions of the tour available, and they use the whole building and more, with all three floors in use — including the 1906 jail cells — as well as an outdoor maze. There’s also a kids’ color-ing area outside of the haunted house, so very little people can stay occupied while older sib-lings treat themselves to a fright. Sassa also said there are a number of bail-outs along the route, in case it gets too intense for visitors.
While Sassa and Glenn Cruise do a lot of the setup, it takes a troupe of between 15 and 25 cos-tumed characters to populate the courthouse of horrors. Expect to spend between 20 and 30 heart-pounding, palm-sweat-ing minutes going through the tour.
The event is a nonprofit ven-ture, with proceeds going to the courthouse itself.
Shows are Friday and Saturday evenings, Oct. 12, 13, 19, 20, 26 and 27 and the finale on Sunday, Oct. 28; 6 to 9:30 p.m. nightly. Cost is $10 for adults, $5 for children 13 and under, $5 for volunteer fire or rescue person-nel with identification and $25 for families.

“Rising Low,” choreographed to
music by bluesman Otis Taylor and country artist Iris DeMent, and “Sandungera,” a dance that takes Latin Jazz and Cuban music to a new level.

Music.” He has performed at
Lincoln Center, The Vans’ Warped Tour, the United Nations, Sundance Film Festival, and at concerts with Phish.
Prior to the performance, Knaack will conduct two “JunkJam” workshops. The Kids’ Workshop will take place at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13 in the Freight Depot Theater at Hubbard Hall.

The JunkJam Workshop for teens and adults will take place at 3:30 p.m. Participants are encouraged to bring their own junk from home, as they explore basic jamming, improvisation, and working as a member of a musical team. During the clos-ing hour of the workshop, there will be a “JunkJam” on the sidewalk in front of the theater to create a real community event.
Tickets for the adult work-shop are $20; a combination ticket admits one person to the workshop and concert for $30. Musical experience is not nec-essary to have a good time!

~ Eye On Business ~
I was born in Glens Falls, but have lived in Massachusetts the majority of my childhood. I have been a dancer since the age of two. Dance is my passion, it could be dancing with my babies in the living room to our favorite song to dancing at a club with my girlfriends. I love any and all forms. I became an instructor in April of this year in Poughkeepsie, NY. Zumba has become my new way of life! I have found its a great outlet for me. From teaching my classes, to participating in Zumbathons. Every aspect is great and rewarding. It’s a worry and judgment free zone. As long as you’re moving and having fun, that’s all that matters! If you try it once you will hopefully transform yourself into a Zumbaholic!! The best thing about Zumba is its great for all ages and fitness levels! Zumba is an awesome way to loose some extra pounds or just maintain a healthy lifestyle! I would love to share my love and passion with everyone!
Classes are being held at Fort Hardy Park in the Youth Center.Currently classes are held Tuesday at 6:30pm and Saturday at 9amLooking to add more class days and times all suggestions are welcome!Private classes are also available!518-681-0002 [email protected]“like” on Facebook Zumba Fitness With Nichole Donisthorpe.

You Know the Reason
for Getting a Mammogram.
glensfallshospital.org
Here are 5 Reasons
to Choose Glens Falls
Hospital’s Breast Center.
We offer full-field digital mammography, helping
doctors detect breast cancer in its earliest stages.
Breast health is our specialty. Our specially trained
staff take the time to get the best images possible, and to
answer all of your questions.
You get your results quickly. One in 10 mammograms
reveals an abnormality — 90 percent of which WILL NOT be
breast cancer. We quickly schedule ultrasounds, biopsies
and other follow-up tests — all at Glens Falls Hospital —
to get you your results as soon as possible.
We are part of the The C. R. Wood Cancer Center, the
region’s comprehensive, nationally accredited cancer center.
We are close to home, with three locations offering
pleasant, caring environments:
• Glens Falls Hospital
• Advanced Imaging at Baybrook
(Bay Road, Queensbury)
• Greenwich Regional Medical Center
To schedule your mammogram, please
call 926-5333. Evening hours are available.
FREE mammograms are available for the uninsured
through the New York State Cancer Services Program
by calling 800-882-0121.
