Child ID Program at Deepwells Haunted House It was a spooky time indeed at the Deepwells Haunted Mansion on Saturday and Sunday, October 24 and 25. Larry Glazer, President of the St. James Chamber of Commerce, had his associates, Ryan McDougal and Jeff Blum, provided a child identification program, sponsored by New York Life Insurance Company. The service consisted of a laminated ID of children, including fingerprints, for the parents’ records. Many families took advantage of the program as they departed from the “Haunted House.”
See pages 104-105 for photos and article about the Deepwells Haunted House. See Halloween Parade pictures on pages 108-112.

I would like to thank the st. James community for their continued support of the Chamber businesses.

Several types of devices with manual and automatic operations are available: • Check-valve devices allow water and sewage to flow away from the drain, preventing water and sewage from backing up into the drain. • Gate-valve devices operate like a gate, closing and shutting off the water flow. Sump pump systems assist in keeping out unwanted water. there are several types of pumps, including single pump and dual- level systems. a battery generator can be used to power the pump in case of a power failure. Remem - ber to test your system monthly. it’s important to make sure your sump pump outlet is not con - nected to your home’s main plumbing system. Sometimes water still gets in. items stored in basement areas should be on shelves or kept off the floor. the furniture should be on casters or shims and arranged away from the floor drains.
