Get into the Halloween vibe early with the 13th annual Ghost Walk on Oct. 11. Guided tours of 45 minutes in length depart the SullivanMunce Cultural Center, 205-225 W. Hawthorne St., every 15 minutes from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The tour stops at up to seven distinct locations, where vignettes re-enacting ghost stories from Zionsville’s past will take place. Kinda makes the hair on the back of your neck stand at attention, doesn’t it? For more information, call 873.4900.

This whole Volkswagen thing is an incredible mess. If you don’t own a VW, you’re probably thinking the fallout won’t affect you. Wrong. You and we, via the federal government, paid out in excess of $51 million for green-car subsidies – all because the emissions reports were pure fiction. Fleeced again, fellow taxpayers, weren’t we? And yet nobody seems to care. It’s just another headline fading to white by now.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) can’t make up her mind about a lot of issues, can she? With a U.S. Senate voting record that shows her as uncompromisingly pro-choice with respect to abortions, the campaign cycle has brought about a different response. She said to NBC News that she was “open” to restrictions on late-term abortion. Draw your own conclusion.

The Stupid Americans of the Week Award (we just made up that title) goes to the couple in central Ohio that knocked off a community bank and followed that by posting photos of themselves with fistfuls of dollars on Facebook. Didn’t need Sherlock Holmes to solve that.
