Peter Hagg and Tricia Koziol take a walk through the haunted house set up at MMI. “A lot of the time, haunted houses aren’t handicapped accessible, so we try to provide the typical haunted house experience here, especially for the children at JP Lord in wheelchairs,” said Kelley Coutts, assistant director of recreation therapy at MMI. “It’s more fun than scary, but still stimulating in its own way.” |

A pumpkin was carved in the likeness of Interim MMI director, Mike Leibowitz, Ph.D., for the employee appreciation picnic held earlier in October. |
