    no rest From the wicKed in west FensThe end of baseball season used to usher in a reliably quiet few months for West

    Fens residents, giving them a chance to recover from trafc jams, park-trashing

    fans, and the buzz of circling blimps. The new Red Sox ownership seems bent on

    eliminating even that short respite with its growing program of concerts, hockey

    games andget thisa haunted house attraction from New Hampshire. To mark

    its 20th anniversary, Spooky World, star of late-night TV ads and popular with the

    shopping-mall set, signed a deal with the Sox to produce 14 shows in Fenway Park

    between October 28 and November 6. The attraction will be open from 5 to 11 p.m.

    each day during its run, with added four-hour childrens matinees on Saturdays

    and Sundays (Oct. 28-29 and Nov 5-6).

    Tito Jackson, Jr., and Sheneal Parker will face off in

    November for the Boston City Council seat representing

    District 7. Jackson, the incumbent, took 76% of the vote

    in the September 27 preliminary election; Parker, a Fenway

    resident, captured 11%. Two other candidates, Althea Garrison

    and Roy Owen, split the rest of the vote. Jackson won a special

    election to replace Chuck Turner last year, after Turner was

    forced off the Council in the wake of his conviction for taking

    a bribe in an FBI entrapment scheme. Parker, actively involved

    with several neighborhood groups, is a teacher in the Boston

    Public Schools and the mother of a 15-year-old son. The two

    candidates meet again in the general election on November 8.

    David Rose (r), two

    local students, happenedacross the Fenway

    Garden Societys annual

    FensFest on Sept. 10 andwere so charmed by it

    they volunteered to helpout at the grill. Although

    Hurricane Irene had

    passed through just aweek earlier, toppling two

    of the Victory Gardenss

    large willow trees, theparty went on as usual.
