He also says top management officials had meetings each month with union leaders, until the UNION decided not to hold them anymore.

(( The movie "Practical Magic" has neither the complexity or the menace of Alice Hoffman's novel, but it still manages to be an enjoyable diversion. The story involves a family of women with a history and local reputation for witchcraft. There is a curse on the Owens women that decrees that any man who gets involved with them will die. Sally
(Sandra

Bullock, playing a character too similar to the one in "Hope Floats") and Gillian (Nicole Kidman-wild and crazy) go to live with their eccentric aunts when their father dies as a result of the curse; and their mother dies of a broken heart. The aunts are proud participants in the craft and school the girls in it; this makes them pariahs in the village. Sally just wants to fit in, so she refuses to use her powers. Gillian glories in her abilities to snare men with her spells-and sex appeal. But when Gillian picks up a particularly nasty specimen who gets violently abusive, she and Sally accidentally kill him, then try to bring him back to life which is a BIG mistake. Adding to this witches' brew is an attractive marshal
(Aiden

Quinn) who comes looking for the dead man; and who fits Sally's idea of the perfect guy.
The movie version is not as dark as the book; the moviemakers have focused more on the lighter elements and the romance between Sally and the marshal then on the supernatural elements and the frightening figure of ghoulish Jimmy. The witchy aunts (Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing) are portrayed with more humor as well. So, just a B for this one; it isn't as good as it could be, but it provides a few Halloween shivers for the season.))

It's a significant time, considering this Halloween marks the hundredth anniversary of the death of Avenel's first matriarch, Frances Steptoe Burwell.
Amid the "ghost stories", Avenel emerged over the years as a key cultural and historical center.
In 1985, the Avenel Foundation purchased the house and has since worked to restore it.
The walls and ceilings were cleaned and painted, and some of the floors were replaced.
The Avenel foundation received a 50 thousand dollar matching state grant, but still needs to raise its share of the money to re- do the parlor and chimney.
Fixing up Avenel is a "retirement" project of sorts for former builder, Jack Robertson.
