Making Halloween a Real Treat

MAKING HALLOWEEN A REAL TREAT: Paul Yates and Amanda Hurley of Tazewell Avenue (shown with the Bride of Frankenstein) do Halloween right. After all, is any Halloween house fully decorated without a 1969 Cadillac hearse in the front yard? And this hearse comes complete with coffin — which may or may not be secured after midnight. Yates’ hearse is a fixture in town parades, although it went missing for a while. Last summer, in a weak moment, he sold the hearse to a Pennsylvania collector and bought a pair of jet skis in its place. It was a big mistake, as he realized how much he missed the big black Caddy. After a few months he persuaded the Pennsylvania buyer to sell it back to him, and Yates swears he’ll never part with it again. Both Yates and Hurley are town employees, but they commute to work separately. Hurley usually rides her bicycle, while Yates occasionally takes the hearse. (Wave photo)
