PIQUA — Authorities with the Piqua-SidneyShelby Tactical Response Team executed a search warrant at a Piqua home located in the 300 block of South Downing Street on Tuesday afternoon after a new state law went into effect this week.

At the beginning of the council meeting a hearing was conducted on the proposed rezoning. Jim Larson has requested the rezoning of two lots from conservation to one-family residential. He told council members that future plans call for the construction of homes on the property by his son, David Larson, and his son-in-law, Andy Shaffer.

Miami East officials warn of changes if levy fails Deficit projected without new funds BY MELANIE YINGST Ohio Community Media myingst@tdnpublishing.com CASSTOWN — During its regular board meeting Monday, Miami East school officials warned parents and community
members that if the district is unable to pass its levy on Nov. 8, the school district would look vastly different. New district part-time treasurer Lisa Fahnke presented the board the district’s five-year forecast, which projects the district will end this fiscal year $576,706 in the red.
Fahnke reminded the board that the district had a financial analysis done by the Ohio Department of Education, which placed the district in fiscal caution. According to the fiveyear forecast, the district’s expenditures continue to See Miami East/Page 2

Jamison said the new state law banning bath salts is what spurred the investigation, though the department’s first encounter with a bath salt arrest took place early Monday morning — just two hours after the new law took effect. “We did recover enough evidence to notify the landlord to evict the residents,” the police chief said.

Miami East Continued from page 1 climb, outpacing revenues from both state, federal and local sources. According to the report, the forecast predicts the district will be $1.11 million in the red at the end of 2013; $1.467 million at the end of 2014; $1.807 million in the red at the end of 2015; and $2.179 million at the end of 2016. The Nov. 8 ballot issue will seek to convert the district’s current continuing 1 percent traditional income tax to a continuing 1 percent, with an additional 0.75 percent earned income tax. The ballot issue would raise $2.55 million dollars per year of general operating funds through the conversion of the current, continuing 1 percent traditional income tax, coupled with the additional 0.75 percent through the earned income tax. The additional 0.75 percent earned income tax would raise an additional $882,000 per year. Later in the meeting,
Miami East Local Schools Superintendent Dr. Todd Rappold requested parents, community members and families to go to the polls on Nov. 8 as an educated voter. “This district will almost be unrecognizable if this levy fails,” Rappold said, noting that not only music, art and elective programs would be affected, but the individual classrooms as well, to include increasing class sizes. Rappold urged the public to attend a levy information meeting beginning at 6 p.m. at the new high school Sunday.

Dispose of leaves at the city compost facility free
PIQUA — In an effort to assist residents with their leaf pick-up, the city of Piqua will allow residents to dispose of their leaves free of charge. Starting on Oct. 17 through Dec. 16, residents may take their leaves to the city compost facility, should residents not wish to wait on their scheduled leaf pick-up date by city crews. Residents may contact the street department to schedule a time to take their leaves to the compost facility. Normally, the cost to dispose of leaves is $10 per truck or trailer load. But in an
effort to assist residents as well as city crews, this fee will be waived during this time period. The more residents that participate in this program, the more beneficial it will be for residents and city crews. This will allow residents to remove their leaves at their convenience, which will free up parking spaces in residential areas, keep leaves from collecting in storm sewer systems, and allow city crews more time to work on street related issues. The city is hoping to get a multitude
of residents to participate in this new program, which is a win-win for all involved. All leaves collected will be composted and sold next spring and summer as compost for gardens and flower beds. It is a very nutrient rich product that resembles top soil. The city has been composting leaves, and making mulch at this facility since 2003.
All leaves brought to the facility must be free of brush, bushes or any type of wood. Those items may also be taken to the compost facility for a nominal fee. The facility is located on Piqua-Troy Road, approximately a mile and a half south of Garnsey Street. For questions or scheduling call the street department at 778-2095.

“We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he has done.” (Psalms 78:4 AKJV)
Guest Column
Boehner says House takes action to aid job creation here is no more urgent task right now for either party in Washington than helping our economy get back to creating jobs. President Obama has offered a plan he believes will support job creation in the United States. My colleagues and I in the House have offered a plan as well: the Plan for America’s Job Creators, available online at Jobs.GOP.gov, which we first put forth publicly back in May. I believe the American people expect us to look for common ground between these two plans, find the things we can agree on, and get them done. In September, we told President Obama we would consider his plan, and pledged we would take action on any elements of that plan that could attract bipartisan consensus. We asked that in return, he give similar consideration to the Republican job creation plan, which we would also continue work on simultaneously. We’ve kept our word. In the weeks since the president presented his latest jobs plan to Congress, we have moved a steady stream of jobs legislation. Some of the bills we’ve passed are included in the president’s jobs agenda, and represent areas of common ground between congressional Republicans and the White House. Others are bills from our own agenda that enjoy bipartisan support in the House. • We’ve passed multiple bills aimed at halting excessive federal regulations JOHN BOEHNER that are hampering small business job creation in our 8th District Congressman country. These bills have bipartisan support in Congress. Hamilton-based SMART Papers and Cincinnati-based Hilltop Concrete are among the many employers in our region that have said such action is needed to stop American jobs from being lost or shipped overseas. • We’ve passed a veterans hiring measure that is an important element of the jobs plan the president has been urging Congress to pass. The legislation is now awaiting action by the U.S. Senate. • We’ve passed long-delayed free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea that will create new American jobs and open new markets for American products, including many products created in our district. Alan Wuebker — whose family farm in Darke County produces hogs, corn, soybeans, alfalfa, and wheat – was my guest in the House chamber recently for an address by the president of South Korea marking passage of these agreements, which will help to boost the economies of both countries. • And later this month, we’ll vote on another jobs measure that is included in both the president’s agenda and ours — a bill to fix an IRS rule that is impeding job creation by wrongly imposing a 3 percent tax on businesses of all sizes that interact with the federal government. We’ll also vote before the end of the year on a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. If passed by Congress and ratified by the states, such an amendment will provide certainty to American job creators of all sizes. By enforcing the tough caps we placed on future government spending this year in exchange for granting President Obama an increase in the nation’s debt limit, a balanced budget amendment will ensure the expansion of our government is kept in check, giving the economy the relief needed to heal and return to creating jobs. Many Democrats support the idea of a balanced budget amendment. By endorsing such a measure, President Obama could put it over the top. This is an area where presidential leadership can make all the difference. What won’t help to end the jobs crisis in America is political gamesmanship. I was disappointed to hear the president say recently that he hasn’t yet seen a job creation plan from Republicans. The reality, of course, is that we have a plan, and we’re acting on it — and it even shares some common elements with the president’s own proposals. By removing government barriers to economic growth, we can liberate our economy and get America working again. My colleagues and I in the House are doing everything we possibly can to make this happen. We’re ready to work with the president, and we hope the president will work with us.

Letters to the Editor
Voters urged to take tour of buildings To the Editor: Last Monday, I had the opportunity to tour Springcreek Primary School. It was built in 1922, and is the oldest building in the Piqua School District. It was eyeopening, to say the least. Our district has done a yeoman’s job maintaining our school buildings, but the buildings are certainly showing their age and they are in desperate need of huge amounts of repairs. Very expensive repairs to still old buildings. None of our elementary buildings meet State codes and regulations. The district is opening its buildings to the public this week. I urge the voters of the Piqua School District to attend one or more of the “Between the Walls Tours” and to see for themselves why we need to take advantage of the money the State of Ohio is offering us at this time
for three new, cost effective, energy efficient, technologically up to date, handicap accessible buildings. Building tours are scheduled as follows: Oct. 19, Favorite Hill Primary at 6 p.m.; Oct. 24, Bennett Intermediate at 6:30 p.m., Oct. 25, High Street Primary at 6:30 p.m.; Oct. 27, Wilder Intermediate at 6:30 p.m.; and Nov. 1, Washington Intermediate at 6:30 p.m. Take a tour and be an informed voter by looking at the current conditions of our present facilities and see if you agree with me that supporting the Piqua School bond issue and tax levy is the right thing to do. This is Piqua’s “Opportunity of a Lifetime!” Please vote for the Piqua bond issue on Nov. 8. —Darlene Bayman Piqua
‘Make a difference’ on Nov. 8 To the Editor: On Nov. 8 we all have an opportunity of a lifetime to make a difference. On Nov. 8 we all have the opportunity to cast a “yes” vote for our Piqua City Schools construction project. Never before have I been given an opportunity like this one where I can make a difference in providing our community with new buildings that will save us millions. Never before have we as a community been provided with 47 percent of the funding for our construction project which will allow a homeowner the opportunity to provide three new schools in our district for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day! No one ever moves into a home thinking that they will live there for 60, 70, or 80 years. Right now our “newest” school building is 56 years old. We need new fa-
cilities and we need them at a time when the state is funding 47 percent These old school facilities are costing the district, which are us the community and taxpayers, much more in the long run than three new buildings will cost us. When will we ever have a chance again to provide three new buildings with one of them being built on land purchased for $1 and the other two being built on land already owned by the school district and will allow the students to remain in their current location until the new buildings are ready. On Nov. 8 we all have an opportunity of a lifetime to make a difference. Vote “yes” for the proposed bond issue and tax levy for the Piqua City Schools District. —Kathy Sherman Piqua
Residents say vote twice for Fess To the Editor: This letter is to encourage the voters of Piqua to re-elect Lucy Fess as both commissioner and mayor on Nov. 8. Lucy has exhibited her dedication to the citizens of the city of Piqua over the past several years and her experience is valuable to the city. We have known Lucy throughout most of her life and know first hand how much she loves and support the city of Piqua. It is our understanding that one of her opponents was with the P.O.I.N.T. group during the failed attempt to unseat 80 percent of our city commissioners earlier this year. She
demonstrated class and strength during that difficult time and our citizens were smart enough to overcome that challenge. We need a strong person in the positions of mayor and commissioner at this critical time in the city of Piqua and one who is willing to go the extra mile to support the best interests of the citizens of the city of Piqua. Lucy Fess is that person. Please join us in showing your support by voting twice for Lucy Fess as both mayor and commissioner. —Chris and Arlene Evans Piqua
Reasons cited for passing Piqua levy
To the Editor: Our community has been given a golden opportunity this Nov. 8 to make a decision that will positively affect our lives, the lives of our children and community for years to come. It truly is “Piqua’s opportunity of a lifetime.” There are several aspects of this opportunity that makes sense to me. First, the consolidation of eight schools to three schools is a great move. This saves our school district millions of our tax dollars which will affect everyone in the future. It is an intelligent decision by our elected officials. Second, this project will bring some needed jobs to our community at a time when jobs are Boehner represents Ohio’s 8th District, which in- a premium. Third, we are able to pay for cludes all of Darke, Miami, and Preble counties, most of this project with low interest loan Butler and Mercer counties, and the northeastern cor- which will save every tax payer in the ner of Montgomery County. community. Finally, the state of Ohio is
providing 47 percent of the construction bill. These are just a few of the benefits of this golden opportunity. We will also have new facilities with up to date technology in the classrooms for our teachers and students. We will be competitive with other school districts. Everyone benefits from this project. I commend our school board for their diligent work on this project. They have provided our community with a golden opportunity. The passage of this project makes sense. Piqua City Schools should change their motto to “Great Schools, Great Value” in the future. Please vote “yes” on Nov. 8 to ensure the future for the children of our community. —Larry and Lisa Butt Piqua
To the Editor: Piqua City Schools have been an integral part of our lives. We attended High Street and Spring Street schools, Wilder Junior High and are graduates of Piqua Central High School. We went on to college then came back to reside in Piqua. Gail was a teacher at Favorite Hill School for 30 years and still volunteers there. Steve has been a local businessman for more than 30 years and volunteers to read at Nicklin Learning Center. We support Piqua City Schools both financially and with our attendance at school functions and athletic events. We have two sons who also attended Piqua City Schools from elementary to graduation from Piqua High School. Our younger son was in the first class at Piqua Junior High School. After having been in a crowded classroom of 30 students at Washington School, he was thrilled to be at a brand new school with lots of space and smaller class sizes. Both sons, Ryan and Drew, took Advanced Placement classes at Piqua High School; these prepared them for college and even enabled them to forego some college courses. Each played sports but more importantly were scholar athletes and received academic scholarships at their respective colleges. This proves they were each well educated in Piqua City Schools. We enthusiastically support the Piqua City Schools bond levy and want Piqua’s students to get the new schools they deserve! We will be voting “Yes” and encourage you to do the same. —Gail and Steve Staley Piqua

Big man abused by girlfriend fights to turn the other cheek
Hayner presents first concert of the season
DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Carmen” for a few years, but in the last year she has started becoming violent when we are having an argument. I think this is domestic abuse, but she claims it isn’t because I’m a man. I’m not someone who can take abuse without repercussions. I’m like a mirror. If someone brings violence into my life, I reflect it back on them. So far, I have restrained my instincts — but eventually I know Carmen will cross the line and I’m going to snap. I have the potential to hurt her badly. I have tried everything to make Carmen understand how I feel, but she continues to insist it doesn’t matter because I’m so much bigger and stronger than she is. When she hits me, it doesn’t hurt physically, but the anger I feel is indescribable. I’m at the end of my rope and considering breaking up with her before I hurt her. I don’t want to end the relationship, but I think it’s the only way to make her see things from my perspective. Or should I call the cops the next time she hits me? — BRUISED AND ABUSED BOYFRIEND
TROY — The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center, 301 W. Main St., Troy, presents this season’s first chamber concert performance in October. Dr. Randall S. Paul will perform a clarinet recital at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25. The concert is presented free and open to the public. Paul is a performer, scholar, and educator.

His debut performance at Carnegie Hall received critical acclaim in The New York Times. Paul has more than 20 years of professional regional orchestra experience performing as guest principal clarinetist with The Utica Philharmonic (NY) the Dayton
Advice lonely. I have multiple health issues and struggle with money. I need someone to talk with about me and how I’m feeling. Whenever I find a counselor, member of the clergy, teacher, etc., I end up BEING the counselor, teacher, listener, whatever. Living in a small town, it’s almost impossible to find anyone who doesn’t know me or my family. I went to a minister and ended up taking him to an AA meeting. I went to a counselor at a nearby university; she began asking me for advice about her health. I’m hesitant to try to find someone online. I’m not looking for a lover or an “adventure” — just someone to talk with. My batteries are constantly being drained and opportunities to recharge are few and far between. I’m not asking for much, just someone to be there for me the way I am for many others. I tried talking with my wife about this, but she’s so emotionally insecure that even thinking I want someone else to talk with upsets her. Please help me. — LONELY IN A CROWD

Sudoku Puzzle Notrump contracts frequently feature a race between declarer and the defenders for the establishment of tricks. The time factor is often crucial, as illustrated by this deal where South was in three
notrump. West led a spade, and South took East’s jack with the queen. Declarer crossed to dummy with a heart and returned the jack of clubs, hoping to lose the trick to West, who could not harm him with a spade return. But East smartly went up with the ace of clubs and returned the eight of spades. West’s spades thus became established before South could set up his clubs, and the contract went down one. In effect, East-West won the race against time. However, South could and should have won the race. He should have realized at the start that the only real threat was the

possibility that West had five spades and a club entry. This might well have led him to the winning solution: to allow East’s jack of spades to hold the opening trick! South would still have scored two spade tricks sooner or later, as he would have had the Q-10 to deal with West’s king, but, more importantly, he would have finished with 10 tricks instead of only eight. After East’s jack holds the first trick, the best he can do is return a spade. Declarer wins and attacks clubs. If East wins the first club lead, he does not have a spade to return — thanks to the holdup at trick one — and South makes four notrump.
If West wins the first club, the outcome is exactly the same. He can establish his spades, but then has no subsequent entry to cash them. Either way, South wins the race against time. Tomorrow: A delicate operation.

DEAR BRUISED AND ABUSED: You may not want to, but it’s time to end the relationship before something happens you both regret. Your relationship with Carmen isn’t a healthy one. You will land in jail if you respond the way it appears she wants you to. Please think ahead — if Carmen resorts to violence when she becomes upset with you, then she very likely will with any children you would have together. She may think her abusive behavior is normal because this was the environment in which she was raised. But we both know it’s not — it’s a huge red flag. Run!

GOLDEN YEARS
Wednesday, October 19, 2011
End-of-the-season pears perfect for this delicious bread October 17 is always a reminder to me of my parents anniversary. They were happily married for 42 years before Dad’s passing away in 2000. We still miss them dearly but they left us many good memories. Meanwhile, we received the sad news of the death of Joe’s cousin Ben’s wife Salome. She was only 46 years old and that dreaded cancer overtook her. Our sympathy goes to the family. They lost a son some time ago from a fall while working on construction. The funeral is on Wednesday and we hope to find a way to attend. Lots and lots of leaves have been raked around here. Saturday was a windy day and blew away a lot of our leaves, which made us all happy. Last week, Kevin, 6, brought home a pumpkin from school and wanted me to carve a face in it for him. I told him I don’t have time but he didn’t give up until I took time and carved one in for him. I lit a candle inside and he was proud of his little pumpkin. My husband Joe shelled all the remaining popcorn from our garden. The harvest wasn’t as much as we thought it would be. I think maybe I planted it too close. This is the first year we tried growing popcorn. Do any of your readers have suggestions on how to grow the best popcorn? We still have plenty to enjoy for quite a few times. Joe popped some on Saturday to see how it tastes and it tasted very good. Friday afternoon Uncle
LOVINA EICHER The Amish Cook Joe and Betty stopped in for a short visit. Betty always brings bananas for Kevin. She knows that he likes them and when he got home from school and saw the bananas he said “Joe and Betty were here!” Joe and Betty planned to spend the weekend here in Michigan. They were here on Saturday evening for supper. Also here were my sister Emma, Jacob, and family, my sisters Verena and Susan and my daughter’s friend, Timothy. On the menu was fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and gravy, corn, cheese, green peppers, and hot peppers, bread, butter, green tomato jam, chips, ice cream, watermelon, and peanut butter dessert. Our winter supply of coal was delivered on Friday. It is always a relief once you know you have coal to keep the house warm during the winter months. We have been hearing that we might have a bad winter so it is good to be prepared. We heat our house from a hopper-fed coal stove in the basement. We heat all three stories of our house so it takes a lot of coal for a winter. I am glad that the basement is heated during the winter months to help dry the clothes. So far we have not had to
start our stove yet. We like to try to put it off as long as we can. The heat from our propane lights feels good on these chilly mornings. It usually puts off enough heat to take the chill out of the house. The thermometer this morning shows 42 degrees but it looks like the sun is coming up now which should warm things up. We are hoping for a nice laundry day today. This afternoon we plan to pick potatoes up out of a big field close to Emma and Jacob’s. We are hoping we are going to be able to pick up enough to supply us for most of the winter. With the harvesting of pears wrapping up for the season, I thought I’d share this delicious pear bread recipe with you readers. HOMEMADE PEAR BREAD 3 cups flour 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1 tablespoon cinnamon 3/4 cup oil 2 cups sugar 2 cups peeled and grated pears 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup pecans 3 eggs, beaten 2 teaspoons vanilla Preheat oven to 350. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients until evenly mixed. Then in a small, separate bowl, combine liquid ingredients together and then blend in with the dry ingredients. Pour into two lightly greased loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Yield two loaves. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans.

Dorothy Love hosts lunch for vets SIDNEY — Dorothy Love Retirement Community is inviting veterans and their spouses to the Dorothy Love campus on Nov. 3 for a complimentary lunch beginning at 12 p.m. in the Oak Tree Dining Room, and a AARP Refresher Course beginning at 12:30 p.m. in the Amos Community Center. This is free to all veterans and their spouses. Crowded roads, aggressive drivers, and even eyesight that is not what is used to be can spell trouble on the road, which is why Dorothy Love Retirement Community is offering the AARP Refresher Course, designed especially for drivers 50 and over. There is no teaching how to drive — just a reminder how to survive. There is no driving, and no written test to hand in.
It is a good way to recover from many years of bad driving habits. Newly updated and revised, the AARP Refresher Course can help meet challenges faced daily on today’s roads. In lively discussion groups, participants will learn: • Defensive driving techniques, new traffic laws and rules of the road • How to adjust to agerelated changes in vision, hearing and reaction time • How to deal with aggressive drivers • How medications may affect driving • How to safely use anti-lock brakes, air bags and safety belts • And more Other discussion will center on changes that have taken place on the road and with insurance, including: • Other drivers, cars,
traffic laws, highways and ourselves have changed. Normal changes caused by aging, perhaps bad habits developed over time or new distractions. • The Ohio Department of Aging says that brushing up on driving safety can help older drivers overcome issues relating to driving skills and recommends this course. • Many insurance companies give a premium discount for taking this course. • This is a classroom course with no driving, no test results, only self-evaluation. During the break, participants will enjoy ice cream sundaes and door prizes. All participants will receive a Certificate of Completion. Pre-registration is required by calling Lu Ann Presser at 937-497-6542.
■ Grandparenting
Angry young man Dear Grandparenting: I have a problem with anger. Actually it’s my grandson’s anger and I don’t know how to handle it. I was raised in a family where nobody fought, mainly because my mother always gave into my father. Anyway, for better or worse, I have not been exposed to anger much during my lifetime. I don’t like to associate with angry people. Anger upsets me and throws me off balance. My daughter’s family has moved in with me to save us all money. They have a 15-year old son. Sean is an angry young man. Sometimes he goes off on me. Sometimes he blows up at his parents. I am always scared that something I do or say
TOM & DEE HARDIE KEY KIDDER Columnists will set Sean off. Can you give me some advice about how to manage this situation? I don’t think my grandson is evil, but he’s a lot more comfortable with expressing his anger than anyone I’ve ever met. How can I make this stop? Call me Lost, Frederick, Md.
Dear Lost: When you’re dealing with adolescents, anger often becomes a reality to accept, not a problem to eliminate. It seems probable you’ve been thrust into your grandson’s struggle to break free from parental authority; like all resurrections, it gets messy, and spills over onto bystanders like yourself. Angry young granddaughters commonly vent through crying, but angry young grandsons are more apt to act out loudly and aggressively. It can certainly shock one’s system when they turn on you; the trick is to manage their anger constructively and not let it trigger a reaction that intensifies conflict.

Cancer genetic testing counseling offered during Awareness Month TROY — October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, designed to help educate women about their risk of developing the disease and the importance of detecting it in its earliest stages.

Sarah Jones, RN, MS, Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist, will answer
questions in personalized sessions. Participants will receive information and an opportunity to participate in door prize drawings.

The American Cancer Society guidelines for early detection of breast cancer include: yearly mammogram starting at age 40; clinical breast exam every three years
beginning at age 20 and annually for age 40 and over; and monthly breast self-exam beginning at age 20.

Fall concert set at Piqua High School PIQUA — The PHS Choral Department will present its annual Fall Concert at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25, in the Hartzell Center for the Performing Arts. The choirs are under the direction of Tom Westfall. Accompanying the choirs will be Brenda Vetter, music department educational aide. Performing on the concert will be the Women’s Chorus, doing “Jubilate Deo,” the spiritual “Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel,” and a Slovakian traditional lullaby, “Dobru Noc,” which means “Good Night.” The Men’s Chorus will perform “Sing Now, Ye Sons of Art,” a piece from the “Birthday Ode for Queen Mary” (1694). Guest student soloist will be trumpet, Aaron Van Pelt. The chorus will also perform “There Is Nothin’ Like A Dame” from the musical “South Pacific.”
Student soloists in this number are Ian Supinger, Brandon Pummell, Austin Collett, and Rob Spiggle. The Men’s Chorus will close their portion of the concert with OSU and Piqua school songs.

Jerseys and Jeans to take place Oct. 29 Editor’s Note: This is the second of a three-part series on the history of the Piqua Education Foundation and its upcoming Celebration of Education dinner. PIQUA — The Piqua Education Foundation will hold its annual Celebration of Education dinner, Jerseys and Jeans, at 6 p.m. Oct. 29, at the Piqua Country Club. This yearly event will honor the Piqua City School Teacher of the Year as well as recognizing the accomplishments of many of its students. Founded in 1984, the Piqua Education Foundation (PEF) is a non profit organization that seeks contributions to benefit students attending Piqua City Schools. It provides scholarships for deserving students and awards education grants to encourage teacher and student creativity and achievement. Each year the PEF has been able to increase the amount of money being distributed to students. This year PEF is proud to have awarded 161 students more than $220,000. From humble beginnings the PEF has been
able to increase the amount of scholarship money available to students. “We are pleased and proud to be able to provide this kind of support for our students and teachers. Given the nature of the economy right now, it is even more impressive,” said current president Dr. Doug Hulme. Through the years, the list of donors has grown. One of the earliest and longest donations is from the Carl Felger Trust Fund. Mr. Carl Felger was born and reared in Covington, graduating from Covington High School in 1919. Mr. Felger graduated from Wittenberg University with a bachelor of arts degree and received his juris doctor from the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 1932. In 1941, he was elected Probate and Juvenile Judge serving in that capacity until 1948, when he resigned to enter a law firm in Piqua with the late George M. Berry and William M. McCulloch. He practiced law in that firm, now known as McCulloch, Felger, Fite and Gutmann
Co., L.P.A.., continuously from that time until his death. In 1983, he was honored by the Ohio State Bar Foundation by receiving the Foundation Honor for Service to the Public for Fifty Years The award is given annually to an attorney for service and contributions to his profession and community. Mr. Felger was only the 20th recipient of the award. Judge Felger had a distinguished career in public and community service. He served as a trustee of the Miami County YMCA for 40 years. He also served on the Board of Governors of Dettmer Hospital from 1966 to 1983, and was instrumental in the creation of the hospital by his assistance in litigation to secure the funds from the estate of Jacob Dettmer. One of his contemporaries said of him, “He had devoted his entire life to making Miami County a good place to live. He has practiced his profession with integrity and distinction and he has made outstanding contributions to the social and
service needs of our community. Few others are of his caliber.” A Celebration of Piqua Education is an evening to promote the positive accomplishments of the students and staff from Piqua and a way to say thank you to the loyal supporters of the PEF. Your support will allow the PEF to continue to provide financial assistance to deserving high school graduates to help ensure their collegiate pursuits. Reservations for Jerseys and Jeans may be made by contacting Mindy Greggerson at 773-4321 or greggersonm@piqua.org. The cost is $50 per person. The event will be from 6-9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29 at the Piqua Country Club. Dress is casual and all are encouraged to wear their favorite team jersey or other sports apparel. Proceeds from this event are donated to the Piqua Education Foundation, PEF a non-profit organization that provides scholarships to selected graduating seniors and post-graduates, educational grants to teachers, and supports special activities for Piqua City School students.

Bond issue
Obituaries three new ones. Should the measure gain majority favor, the preliminary plans call for three new schools to be built: two pre-kindergarten through third grade schools, each located at the current Washington and Springcreek school sites; and a fourth through sixth grade school at the grounds of the former Piqua Memorial Hospital site. Those proposed schools would then join the Piqua Junior High and Piqua High schools to form the rest of the school district. With tax valuation at 35 percent, the levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $150.68 annually, or $12.56 a month. In addition to construction costs, the money col-
lected through the levy includes the demolition of the old buildings. The levy proposal is similar to those in neighboring school districts that have been on a waiting list to receive state funds from Ohio’s school facilities commission. But, in order to have access to the money, the tax levy needs to be passed. School officials say they have waited for more than a decade for this opportunity. School officials also said rebuilding and consolidating schools in the Piqua district, from 10 schools down to 5, will save millions to the taxpayer during the duration of the levy’s run. However, if the levy is not passed, the state funding could disappear. “With such high stakes
in this opportunity of a lifetime, it’s key that every Piqua citizen carefully study this proposal,” Hanes in his message. “If we reject the state money, it will go to other communities and Piqua taxpayers will wind up paying the full cost of this needed program sometime in the future.” Additionally, Hanes said the levy was a great opportunity from the standpoint of reducing operating costs school officials expect with consolidating schools and building new ones. “When you look carefully, at some point this project is going to need to get done and with the help of the state, it goes back to ‘pay a little now or pay a lot later,’” Hanes said. “It’s a great opportunity.”
and Zoning for approval to move forward with the home construction. “I don’t think the site plan is going to make all that water go away,” Tobias said. However, he did say that the site plan will make sure “that property doesn’t add to the problem.” It was noted that any future site plan will be considered at a Planning and Zoning Commission that will be open to the public. Although Mayor Ed McCord said earlier in the hearing that he didn’t think action would be taken on the rezoning, but after council reconvened in regular session, members voted to approve the rezoning request. Earlier in Monday’s meeting, McCord presented certificates of appreciation to members of the Covington-Newberry Historical Association for their work to preserve the community’s history and traditions. Receiving the certificates were Mary Nickel, Dixie Harnish and
Mark Shilling. “Mary is the real driving force of the historical society,” McCord said in presenting Nickel with her award. Council heard a comprehensive presentation by Larry Johnson, vice president of the Hylant Group based in Sharonville, on his review of village property and liability insurance coverage. Johnson said his review, with the help of village employees, surveyed all village properties and equipment. He then assessed the village’s current insurance coverage to see if changes were needed. Johnson said in many cases it was determined that the village did not have sufficient coverage and adjustments were made. Council member Chip Shaffer noted the changes nearly doubled the village’s coverage, but only increased the total premium from $22,199 to $26,765. “You’re talking about a pretty big amount of
money,” Shaffer said of the additional coverage that now stands at $13.5 million. Council authorized McCord to enter into an agreement to extend the village’s coverage for another month until village officials, including the Covington Board of Public Affairs, have a chance to review all the changes. Final action is expected during a council meeting in November. In other action council: • Gave first reading to a revised village income tax ordinance. • Accepted the resignation of Chris Alexander as a member of the Covington Fire Department and approved the reinstatement of Nick Meyer, who is rejoining the department. • Approved hiring Jeremy Yingst as a part-time employee during the absence of village employee Ben Vincent, who suffered a sports-related injury. • Approved a contract with SMS proTech Maintenance at a cost of $207.
Covington Continued from page 1 He said a definite timetable has not been for set the construction of the homes. During the public comment portion of the hearing, local resident David Kenworthy raised concerns about drainage problems in the area. “We’re not against building houses, all we ask is drainage be put in to take care of the flooding conditions,” Kenworthy said. Council members were presented with photos showing flooding in the area. Shaffer pointed out that there are other areas contributing to the flooding in the area, not just his family’s property. Council member Scott Tobias, who also serves on the Covington Planning and Zoning Commission, said the issue at hand was whether to approve the rezoning. He said drainage issues would be addressed when the Larsons present a site plan to the Planning

Piqua girls soccer seniors Cheryl Bell and Kelsey Deal have the numbers to show they are the best in the Greater Western Ohio Conference at their position — but a win Thursday night when Vandalia-Butler visits Wertz Stadium for a Division I sectional game would top that. “It might have been when Kylie Hayes was playing,” Deal said about Piqua’s last win in the postseason. “We haven’t done a lot in girls soccer since then. To beat Butler and win the tournament game, that would be the best feeling.” And the Lady Indians have had a lot of those feelings this year, rolling up wins like they haven’t done since Hayes senior year in 2005, when the Indians had a school best record of 13-4-1. This will their first winning season since the Hayes era ended and a win Thursday would give them 10 wins for the first time since 2005. “I wanted my senior

year to be my best year,” Bell said. “It definitely has been. It has been a lot of fun this year.” Bell has been a scoring machine this fall after moving from midfield halfback to forward. She has 21 goals and eight assists for a total of 50 points. Bell has had one four goal game, two three goal games and been held without a goal or assist just four times. “I wanted my senior year to be a big year,” Bell said. “I think the biggest thing has been the change in position. I was hoping I would have this kind of year.” And Piqua’s opponents have started to take notice. “Troy man-marked me in our last game,” Bell said. “That had never happened before. Miami East did that same thing. Not really (the extra attention doesn’t bother her). I know I couldn’t have done this without my teammates. That’s why this has been such a good year.” Bell’s 21 goals are five more than Emily Riviello of Wayne and her 50 points are 11 more than
Erica Ytterbo of Miamisburg. “Cheryl (Bell) had good years as a freshman and sophomore,” Piqua girls soccer coach Karen Horvath said. “I think Cheryl was a little disappointed with the numbers she had last year.” Horvath said the position switch was to get the most out of Bell’s game. “She was great as a midfield halfback,” Horvatch said. “But, I felt like she could do even more if we moved her up top. Cheryl just took off from the start of the season and has had a great year.” ■ It is hard to remember the last time there wasn’t a “Deal” in goal for Piqua. Kelsey has followed in her sister Laura’s footsteps, providing the final line of defense for the Lady Indians the last three years and frustrating numerous opponents along the way, along with picking up a several school records along the way. “She (Kelsey Deal) is just a natural athlete back there,” Horvath said. “Not, See PIQUA/Page 12

QUOTED "My boss is a very patient man. Don't want to play poker with him, do you?" —Marvin Lewis on the Bengals trading Carson Palmer
Raiders make bold move for quarterback Pay high price to get Palmer ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders made a bold move to replace injured quarterback Jason Campbell on Tuesday, trading two high
draft picks to the Cincinnati Bengals for Carson Palmer. Coach Hue Jackson paid a high price to acquire a quarterback he knows well but who has struggled in recent years and refused to report the Bengals this season de-
spite being under contract through 2014. The Bengals had been adamant about not trading Palmer, who wanted to be dealt from a team that has had only two winning records in the last 20 years. Owner Mike Brown re-

peatedly insisted he wouldn't consider Palmer's request for a trade because he didn't want to reward him for holding out. He changed his mind after the Raiders offered a 2012 first-round pick and a second-rounder in 2013 for the 31-year-old
quarterback. The Raiders (4-2) became desperate for a quarterback after Campbell broke his collarbone during a win over the Browns on Sunday. Campbell had surgery Monday and was See PALMER/Page 11

Continued from page 10 expected to miss at least six weeks, leaving the Raiders with only Kyle Boller and Terrelle Pryor on the roster. Jackson's mantra all season has been "the time is now," and he backed that up by dealing for Palmer, who is coming off a 20-interception season last year with the Bengals. Brown said the play of rookie quarterback Andy Dalton made it easier to trade Palmer. "We also find ourselves rather suddenly in position of being able to receive real value for Carson that can measurably improve our team, which is performing well and is showing real promise for this year and years to come," he said in a statement. "When this opportunity arose, we felt we could not let it pass and needed to take a step forward with the football team if we could." Palmer, who had been working out in Southern California, already reported to the Raiders' facility and will immediately start learning the offense. Oakland hosts Kansas City on Sunday and then has a bye week. While Palmer has not played or practiced since last season, he has a history with Jackson, who was his offensive coordinator for two years at USC and the wide receivers coach for three seasons in Cincinnati. Jackson was with the Bengals when Palmer had his best season in 2005 when he threw for 3,836 yards with 32 touchdown passes and a 101.1 rating while leading the team to an AFC North title. Palmer tore up his left knee during a playoff loss to Pittsburgh that season. He came back and had two solid seasons before partially tearing a ligament and tendon in his passing elbow during the 2008 season. He has not been an elite quarterback since, despite getting back to the playoffs in 2009. Over the past two years, Palmer completed 61.2 percent of his passes for 7,064 yards, 47 touchdowns, 33 interceptions and a passer rating of 82.9 while posting a 14-18 record. Those numbers are comparable to what Campbell has done since the start of the 2009 season. But the Raiders were not willing to trust their playoff chances with
Boller, who had not started a game since 2009 and had lost his previous 10 starts since October 2007, or Pryor, a project who will need time before he can be an NFL quarterback. "It'll be a learning curve for him because he hasn't played football in a while but I'm excited to have a leader on that side of the ball of his caliber," Raiders defensive tackle Richard Seymour told SiriusXM NFL Radio. "Anytime you have an opportunity to acquire someone of Carson's pedigree I don't think it's something that you can pass up on." This is the second trade the Raiders have made since the death of longtime owner Al Davis, who also served as general manager and oversaw the entire football operation. Jackson dealt last week for former No. 4 overall pick in 2009, linebacker Aaron Curry from Seattle. The trade leaves the Raiders with picks only in the fifth and sixth round in next year's draft. They traded their second-rounder during April's draft to New England for the picks to draft offensive lineman Joe Barksdale and running back Taiwan Jones. They used their thirdrounder to take Pryor in the supplemental draft in August. They traded their fourth-rounder in 2010 to get Campbell and the seventh-rounder for Curry. Oakland is expecting to get compensatory picks after losing Nnamdi Asomugha, Zach Miller, Robert Gallery, Thomas Howard and Bruce Gradkowski in free agency. The Bengals (4-2) have started well with Dalton taking Palmer's place. The message board by the entrance to the Bengals' locker room Tuesday had an anonymous scrawled message: "Let My People Goooooo!" Otherwise, there wasn't much reaction from a team that had moved on from Palmer a long time ago. "I don't think even one player in this locker room's even thought about that," left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. "We haven't worried about it. We've gone forward with the guys we have and tried to play as good as we can and that's all we can do." The Bengals severed ties with Palmer when the season started and he didn't show up, giving his locker to Dalton.

Three Piqua seventh grade wrestlers recently competed at the Buccs Battle Royal in Covington. Leading the way with a first place finish was Andrew Bolin (shown above), going 3-0 with three pins on the day and spending less than a minute on the mat. Nick Baker finished third in a very tough bracket, and Desmond Carter wrestled very well against some bigger opponents settling for a fourth place finish. All three qualify for the Border Wars National Folkstyle Championship on November 12th in Battle Creek, Michigan.

Rangers pitcher Wilson coolest guy in Series Will start opener tonight for Texas ST. LOUIS (AP) — The coolest person at the World Series is C.J. Wilson. The Texas Rangers pitcher chilled out as he prepared to face the St. Louis Cardinals in
Wednesday night's opener. He spent 2½ minutes in a Dallas cryotherapy chamber, where liquid nitrogen lowered the temperature to a frosty 295 degrees below zero in an effort to speed body recovery. "So 35 degrees should be no big deal, right?" Wilson said Tuesday after examining the frigid forecast

for Game 1 at Busch Stadium, where he starts against the Cardinals' Chris Carpenter. Wearing a dark ski cap, dress shirt and vest in the interview room, Wilson said he read about the Dallas Mavericks trying out cryotherapy last season, when they won the NBA championship, and
had Rangers head athletic trainer Jamie Reed check out the relatively new treatment with Casey Smith, his Mavs' counterpart. "I'm kind of an experimental guy. I'll go for the hyperbaric chamber, drink a new type of sports drink that's supposed to keep your blood sugar regu-
lated. I'll do whatever," said Wilson, one of baseball's best talkers. Eric Rauscher, managing director of the Millennium Ice facility that Wilson uses, said the treatment has been available in the U.S. for about three years. It's an improvement over an ice bath, which lowers the

Browns don’t trade Hillis BY JEFF SCHUDEL Willoughby News Herald CLEVELAND — Colt McCoy is getting older quickly as a starting quarterback in the NFL, and he has the battle scars to prove it. McCoy will make his 14th NFL start Sunday when the Browns host the Seahawks. They will be trying to break a twogame skid, during which McCoy threw 105 passes and had his bones rattled as though he were thrown into a giant blender set on chop for 60 minutes each game. Each time the Browns lose, Coach Pat Shurmur is left to defend his quarterback without exonerating him. It was no different Monday in the wake of a 24-17 loss to Oakland the day before. McCoy completed 21 of 45 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns in Oakland. Over the first 55 minutes, he was 11 of 29 for 104 yards. "I think he's a young player working through what it takes to be an NFL quarterback," Shurmur said. "I think his confidence level is high. He's disappointed we lost. There are plenty of things he needs to work on, and that's what we're going to be about." The most startling statistic from the Browns' first five games is this: They have had only eight offensive plays longer than 20 yards. That's the fewest in the league. Shurmur said there is more than throwing deep to gaining bigger chunks of yardage. When the West Coast offense works smoothly, receivers catch short passes in stride and turn them into longer gains. “Last week, McCoy said running after the catch is something the receivers have to work on, but part of that is also McCoy getting them the ball in open space. For that to happen, the receiver has to separate from the defender. "I don't know about (throwing) down field," Shurmur said. "There are times in the game when he was off the mark. We'll just keep working on getting him better. “There's nothing specific. Each pass play has a component of protection, a component of a route, route depth and then an accurate throw tied to mechanics. “We just have to get better at all of it." Shurmur made adjustments during the bye by making rookie wide receiver Greg Little a starter and getting Evan Moore more involved in the offense. Moore caught three passes against the Raiders. Little was targeted 12 times and caught six passes. McCoy ranks 23rd
among NFL quarterbacks, based on quarterback rating. Not surprisingly, the top two quarterbacks are Aaron Rodgers of the Packers and Tom Brady from the Patriots. One of McCoy's problems in the losses to Tennessee and Oakland was the Browns had virtually no run offense in either loss. McCoy threw 61 passes in the 31-13 loss to the Titans and 45 passes against the Raiders, when a hamstring injury sidelined Peyton Hillis after just six carries. Coupled with that is the notoriously slow starts Shurmur is getting weary of explaining. The Browns have been outscored, 34-3, in the first quarter. They have outscored opponents, 88-83, over the final three quarters. "This week is going to be a lot about trying to figure out why it takes us so long to get started," Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas said. "When you look at the grand scheme of things, it all comes down to execution. What's the cause of not executing early on? “I'm not sure. But that is certainly something we have to find an answer for so we can start early and often against Seattle." The Browns outscored opponents, 77-44, in the first quarter last year. The rest of the game belonged to the other side. The Browns in 2010 were outscored, 134-91, in the second quarter, 47-37 in the third and 105-66 in the fourth quarter. ■ The Browns made no trades before the NFL trade deadline of 4 p.m. Tuesday, but they did pick up a running back from the Texans' practice squad. Chris Mortensen of ESPN reported teams were trying to persuade the Browns to trade Peyton Hillis. ■ The Browns added Chris Ogbonnaya and made room on the roster by waiving running back Armond Smith. The addition of Ogbonnaya could signify the hamstring injury that forced Hillis out of the game in Oakland could hinder Hillis this week. Ogbonnaya has played in four career games with 14 rushing attempts for 56 yards and one reception for 19 yards. He has three carries for six yards in two games with the Texans this season. He was on the Texans' practice squad the last four weeks. Ogbonnaya was drafted by St. Louis in the seventh round (211th overall) of the 2009 draft. He spent the first 11 weeks of his rookie season on the Rams' practice squad before appearing in two contests, in which he rushed for 50 yards on 11 carries and added one reception for 19 yards.
skin-surface temperature to about 48 degrees. "The body goes into fight-or-flight syndrome, and surrounds the major body organs with enriched blood," Rauscher said. Preparing for the treatment, Wilson stripped down to his shorts, and put on special gloves and socks.

Piqua Continued from page 10 that she doesn’t work hard at it, because she is a very hard worker.” Deal has recorded 161 saves this season, including a season best 25 in a close 3-1 loss to Beavercreek. She has recorded 10 or more saves in nine of the Lady Indians games and is credited with 9.9 shutouts this season. She has allowed more than two goals just three times all season and her 161 saves are seven more than Ellen Sears of Miamisburg. “I was checking the website every day,” Deal said with a smile. “I never really expected to do anything like this.” Deal admits the team’s success has made this season much more enjoyable — and a lot of it has to do with the defense in front of her. “It has made it a lot eas-

The game will be played at 7 p.m. tonight at Xenia. ier for me,” Deal said. “They (the defenders) understand what they need to do and do a great job.” Horvath agrees. “It really help a lot having Holly (Black) back there who is also a senior,” Horvath said. “Kelsey (Deal) can rely on all four girls in front of her and this is the first year we could say that.” And this year’s team is a product of four years in Horvath’s system. “In the past, the girls would kind of look at it as we are going to try our best and whatever happens is OK,” Horvath said. “This year, they go out
there expecting to win and if they don’t, they are mad. “I came from successful programs in high school and college. “The seniors know what I expect. When I came here, I told them is not a traditional soccer school, but we are going to make it one. “It has taken four years, but kids just have a different attitude and I am just so proud of them.” She would be even happier to get the sectional tournament monkey off the team’s back. “We haven’t won a tournament game since I have been here,” she said. “Of course, we want to go as far as we can in the tournament, but we have to get that first win first.” And add to what Horvath hopes will be looked back on as the break-out season for the girls soccer program.
The Lehman Li’l Cavs football teams advanced in the Super Bowl tournament with wins over Celina White. The JVs won 27-6. Ian Bollheimer had a 50-yard TD run, while Brent Arnold had a 25yard TD run and RJ Bertini ran 5 yards for a score. Arnold completed a 10yard pass to Zack LAvey for a TD, while Brenda O’Leary, Landon McIver and Bertini all scored PATs. Nathan Copsey had a fumble recovery. The varsity won 40-0. Preston Rodgers had two TD runs, including one from 70 yards out. Jacob Edwards had a 60-yard TD run, Wyatt Bensman ran 20 yards for a score and Aiden Endsley had a 60-yard TD run and Benny Davis ran one in from 5 yards out. Edwards had a PAT, while Lon Richard completed a PAT pas to Kameron Lee and Tyler Lachey completed a TD pass to Seth Stiefel. David Potts recovered a fumble to lead the defensive shutout. The Super Bowl tournament will continue this Sunday. The Li’l Cavs will travel to Ansonia, with play beginning at 1 p.m.

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2011 Instead of taking gambles on persons or things about which you know little, bet only on yourself in the year ahead. You’ll have several good potential projects and, even if you fail, you’ll know why and what to do about it in the future. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Take care not to let your anger out on an innocent bystander if you are overpowered or outmaneuvered on an important matter. Count to 10 before opening your mouth. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Maintain mental discipline regardless of what happens to throw you off. Underestimating the value of essential elements in your endeavors could cause you to unravel. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Keep both your social and business contacts separate and, above all, avoid all speculative arrangements with friends. If things don’t go the way they should, you’ll be to blame. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Taking on more objectives or projects that you can comfortably manage is self-defeating, so don’t gamble on your workload. Dedicate yourself to only one or two targets. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t be coerced into putting your signature on something that you’re hesitant about, and be wary of even a verbal commitment. What you agree to might be deliberately distorted. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — It behooves you to be self-reliant, because people upon whom you depend might make promises they later find they can’t keep. Personal requirements will take precedence over yours. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you’re a bit slow and your thinking isn’t quite as sharp as it usually is, forgo attempting to match wits with an adversary. Back off until a riper time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Look before you leap when attempting to handle a complex assignment. You could easily misread something and end up making your task twice as hard to accomplish. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — There is a strong chance that some social plans you’ve been looking forward to will get canceled or postponed. Be prepared with some backup plans so you won’t experience a total letdown. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It’s never smart to allow someone who can be dead weight into an arrangement where you and several others are aiming for a specific target. He or she is likely to hold you back once again. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — There is one thing that could cause you much disarray, and that is proceeding forward on an idea without laying out a proper game plan. Take a moment to formulate one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Unless you are prudent in the management of your resources, you’re not likely to have the financial wherewithal to make ends meet when you really need to.

Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is and eventually fake bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

Halloween is more enjoyable when safety is part of the holiday.
WAYS TO MAKE HALLOWEEN SAFER Halloween is a time for people young and old to enjoy a little mischief and mayhem. To make the holiday even more enjoyable, celebrants can heed a few tips to make Halloween as safe as it is pleasurable. 1. Use face paints instead of masks that obscure vision. 2. Wear reflective tape on costumes of dark colors for trick-or-treating at night. 3. LED lights or glow sticks are a safer alternative to lit candles. Some lights even flicker to offer the appeal of candles.
4. Trick-or-treat in a group; never alone. 5. Take a planned route and don’t wander off the path. 6. Be sure costumes are not tripping hazards. 7. Costume on young children should be age-appropriate and free of hazards, such as strings that can strangle or small parts that can choke. 8. Stick to trick-or-treating in trusted neighborhoods. 9. Be extra-cautious of cars when walking at night. 2225298
Stay on sidewalks as much as possible
