And seriously, how hasn’t Halloween been completely revamped? We’ve practically re-shaped all other holidays: Columbus is actually not a great person, Christmas is too commercial and the first Thanksgiving was a fabrication of American folklore.

How are we still celebrating a day where strangers pass can- dy around to children at the doorstep of their houses (candy that MIGHT be filled with razor blades)? And what’s the point of haunted houses? Why would I live a conscious version of my nightmares? I don’t need people who have fake intentions of killing me jumping out and scaring me. I already have a hard enough time watching “Silence of the Lambs” without having a sheet over my face. Also, Halloween is the only holiday meant to be a pre- cursor holiday that is better than the holiday that follows.

Solutions Posted Online October 26, 2018 THE SCOUT A9 SPORTS Dominguez honored at White House

BY AUSTIN SHONE Sports Editor

A white sheet of paper sits on the bookshelf behind Bradley baseball coach Elvis Dominguez’s desk in his office. It is loose leaf. It is not framed, but he still keeps it there. Every once in a while, Dominguez turns around in his chair, picks up that piece of paper, and thinks to himself, “That didn’t actually happen.” About six months ago, Dominguez answered a routine call on his phone. He didn’t know the number. He didn’t think much of it. He answered. It was the White House calling to let him know he was on a short list of finalists to be honored by the president and the first lady. In August, the second call came. Dominguez was officially invited to a reception at the White House for being an influential Hispanic person in the United States. “How I got nominated; I still to this day don’t know,” Dominguez said. “But it was myself and about 175 other people from around the country. We were [going to be] guests of the White House.” It was impossible to decline an invitation like that, so in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Dominguez and his wife Mary Pat, took his first trip to Washington D.C. For the first two and a half days, they experienced a behind the scenes look at the U.S. Treasury and Library of Congress, visited with Illinois Representative Darin LaHood and even stepped on the Senate floor in the Capitol.
