Halloween is one of the oldest holidays celebrated around the world. It’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Over 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United King-dom as well as France celebrated their New Year on the 1st of November. This date was chosen as mark-ing the end of summer harvest and the beginning of dark, cold winter and death. Celts believed the on the night before New Year that the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead dimmed and the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. Celts felt that the presence of the spirits allowed the priests to make predictions about the future. The prophecies gave assurance and direction.
To commemorate the coming of the spirits the Celts wore costumes and burned crops and animal sacrifices to the spirits. By 43 A.D. the Roman Empire had conquered much of Celtic land and in the course of 4 hundred years of ruling the Celtic lands they combined the Roman Holidays of Feralia (passing of the dead) and Pomona (goddess of fruit and trees) with Samhain. The apple is the symbol of Pomona and in-corporation of the apple with the other celebrations may explain the tradition of ‘bobbing for apples’ that is practiced on Halloween.
Eventually, with the spread of Christianity, Pope Gregory III (731-741) expanded the holiday to in-clude all saints and martyrs to be celebrated. All Saints were celebrated on November 1st and All Souls on November 2nd. It is believed that the church was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related but church sanctioned holidays. The form of celebration was still bonfires and costumes of saints, angels and devils. The celebration was also called All-hallows or
All-Hallowmas and the night before it, began to be called All-hallows eve, which for the Celtics, evolved into Halloween.
Halloween came to America but was limited in the colonies because of rigid Protestant beliefs. Over time customs and ethnic groups meshed and a distinctly American version of Halloween emerged. The first celebrations were public events which celebrated harvest where neighbors shared stories of the dead, told each others fortunes, danced and sung and made mischief of all kinds.
When America was flooded with new immigrants in the second half of the 19th century, especially the millions of Irish fleeing the potato famine helped to popularize Halloween nationally. Taking from Irish and English traditions, Americans began to dress up and go from house to house asking for food or money which has become today’s ‘trick or treat’ practice.
Halloween Inspirations
“When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam, may luck be with you on Halloween”. Irish
“Eat, drink and be scary”. Unknown

And if something scares you and you want to run
Just let on like it’s Halloween fun! Unknown
‘When witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers, it’s near Hal-loween’. Unknown
‘The littlest pumpkins have the biggest grins’. Halloween saying on a small pumpkin.

Riverhouse Reef and Grill
995 Riverside Drive, Palmetto, FL 34221
www.Riverhousereefandgrill.com (941) 729-0616
Hello Everyone! I waited until we had our wonderful October weather to write about the
Riverhouse Reef and Grill because I would highly recommend eating outside with an amazing view
of the Manatee River. The location is simply amazing and the food is very reasonably priced
ranging from $8 - $28. The atmosphere is casual yet elegant. Upon walking in the door there is a
bar on the left and a hostess stand on the right. Décor of brick and rich wood, and huge glass
walls revealing a clear view of the River and Marina creates an instant feeling of relaxation.
There are tablecloths/candles on the dining room tables and a brand new patio seating area of
brick and wood.
I visited on a Thursday evening which happens to be Prime Rib night. There was also a spe-
cial appetizer and fish entrée that evening. My friends chose the $18 prime rib and it was a very
healthy sized melt in your mouth piece of beef. I order the Chilean sea bass fish special which
was a delight at $22. The wine list was not extensive but provided a decent variety to choose
from. Service was excellent with appetizers served promptly and dinner came about 10 minutes
after our appetizers were cleared. Very pleasant epicurean experience.
Now for entertainment, not only did we have live music by acoustic guitar and a singer but
were also delighted by the antics of frolicking dolphins in the river as the sun slowly set in the
background. Truly wonderful and just a 20-25 minute drive from home.
I will briefly go over some of the offers:
Daily Happy Hour runs 3 - 6 pm, $2.50 Drafts, $4 Wines, Margaritas, Planters Punch, and Arnold
Palmers $5 appetizers
Margarita Mondays $3 Margaritas
Tuesday is Ladies Night where ladies drink free from 7– 7:30 pm
Wednesday is Taco Trifecta serving soft shell crab taco dinner at $18
Thursday is Prime Rib night at $18 with live music
Friday through Sunday there are weekend specials and live music.
When you are finished enjoying your dinner experience if you still want to continue your evening
out and burn some calories you can take a walk across the water at River Walk.
Enjoy!!!

Columbus Day
In remembrance of Christopher Columbus’ arrival to the Americas on October 12, 1492 on the sec-
ond Monday in October people are invited to celebrate the discovery of their country. Some towns and cities
hold church services and parades. New York and San Francisco are noteworthy. The first celebration origi-
nated in San Francisco in 1869 as a celebration of Italian American heritage. The first state-wide celebration
was in Colorado in 1907. In 1937 it became a holiday across the country and since 1971 it has been cele-
brated on the second Monday in October.
Not all parts of the USA celebrate this holiday. It is controversial because the settlement of the Euro-
peans led to the demise of history and cultures of the indigenous peoples. It is not a public holiday in Califor-
nia, Nevada and Hawaii. Indigenous People’s Day is celebrated in Berkeley California and South Dakota cel-
ebrates Native Americans’ Day.
Columbus is portrayed as the discoverer of the New World. This is controversial as there is evidence
that Viking explorers from Scandinavia were the first Europeans to cross the Atlantic. In addition to the fact
that the land was already populated by indigenous people who ‘discovered’ the Americas thousands of years
before.
Inspirational Quotes
One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.
Great scientific discoveries have been made b men seeking to verify quite erroneous theories about the
nature of things.
When asked by an anthropologist what the Indians called America before the white man came, an Indian
said simply, “Ours”.
If Columbus had an advisory committee he would probably still be at the dock.
America’s one of the finest countries anyone ever stole.
He leaves in the background of fame all other navigators whose names are written in the priceless an-
nals of discovery.
Columbus went around the world in 1492. That isn’t a lot of strokes when you consider the course.
