Halloween is fun because you use your imagination, create a cos-tume and trick or treat! That’s all good, but safety has to play an im-portant role on Halloween “Trick or Treat” time. Here are a few tipsto help.
Pumpkin Safety Tips► Decorate your pumpkin with markers or paint. Leave the carvingto the adults.► Use candles carefully. Candle lit pumpkins need to be away fromanything flammable like curtains. Never leave them unattended orbetter yet - use flashlights or battery operated flameless candles.
Home Front Tips► Clean up and put away anything that a trick or treater could tripover. Turn the lights on.► Control your pets. Take no chances that the family pet may getfrightened or bite someone.► Consider sugar substitutes like stickers, pencils, rubber insects,etc.
Costume Safety Tips► Create a costume that is bright in color. Trick or treating is tradi-tionally held during the evening so your costume needs to be seenby both pedestrians and vehicles. A good idea is to use reflectivematerials or tape attached to your child’s costume and trick or treatbag. A flame retardent costume is also a good idea. Make sure thecostume fits well, including the shoes and you have plenty of roomto dress warmly.► A mask can obstruct your vision - make sure it fits and you cansee. How about make-up instead? Test costume makeup on asmall area of skin to make sure you are not allergic to it.► Any weapons or props should look and feel harmless and bebrightly colored. Make sure they are bendable and do not have anypointed ends.
Trick-or-Treating Safety Tips ► Never go into a stranger’s house and only accept treats in thedoorway.► When you are trick or treating, make sure your parents or a re-
sponsible adult is with you at all times. Never trick or treatalone.► Be careful when you cross a street. Look in all directionsand make sure there is not a car coming. If you are withyounger children, take their hand and help them cross. Crossthe street at the corner or at a crosswalk. Do not cut throughback alleys or fields.► Do not get into a stranger’s car.► Plan your entire route a head of time.► Be sure to say thank you for your treats.► Be careful walking near lit pumpkins or luminaries.► Only go to houses where the lights are on.► Walk on sidewalks or driveways.► Make sure someone has a cellular phone in case of emer-gency.► Carry a flashlight or glow stick to make you more visible.► Go out trick or treating only during specified times for yourneighborhood.► Have your parents check your candy BEFORE you eat itwhen you get home. Keep only the treats that are unopenedwith wrappers that aren’t torn or have holes in them. After youeat candy, don’t forget to brush your teeth!
Halloween can be so much fun, so be safe this year and havea wonderful time.

(Dorr) – On Wednesday, Septemeber 23rd, St.Stanislaus School kicked off the first day of fall with TheAnnual Home and School Walk-A-Thon at BysterveldPark in Dorr.
Dix Street's 3rd graders join a tour of Constitution Hall onlinefor Constitution Day.
Third graders got an inside look atthe United States Constitution bylogging onto a virtual tour inPhiladelphia on Constitution Day.
(Otsego) - Learning about how our nation’s laws came to be and what they mean forour country was just part of the lesson for Dix Street Elementary’s third graders onThursday September 17th, Constitution Day. They also talked about the Preamble andlearned a fun song with movements to remember the words.
After those activities, they logged on to a national website, with other classrooms fromacross the country, to connect with Constitution Hall in Philadelphia, where our foundingfathers penned the Constitution. A tour guide walked them through several exhibits atthe Hall to learn about the important pieces of the documents and the people who wereat the forefront of our country’s founding. They learned fun facts about some of theexhibit pieces and about the Constitution itself, including the fact that it would takeabout a half hour to read the entire thing.
One student raised a great question, “What if there wasn’t a Constitution and nogovernment?”Teacher, Mrs. Seger, then asked the class, “There were be no laws, no rules, noconsequences. What would that be like?”
The student responded, “It would be really bad.”
Constitution Day falls at a time when most of the elementary and middle schoolclassrooms are developing their Social Contracts, a document that details the rules ineach classroom. These rules come directly from the students. They are asked aboutthe proper behavior in class and their thoughts on how the classroom should operate.Once they’ve worked on that set of rules, every student signs it to show that they willnot only follow the rules, but also help to uphold them, much like the Constitution.

It’s that time of the year again to go in search of the Great Pump-kin. But have you ever wondered how did your pumpkin grow?Gather up the family and let’s head to your favorite pumpkin patchand find out.Your pumpkin’s life started a few months ago. The farmer had to
carefully chose the spot for planting the patch, a large area with a lotof sunshine. Sometime after the earth had warmed from the winterand the mornings were no longer frosty in late May and early June,the pumpkin seeds were planted into the dark rich soil. The sun con-tinued to warm the earth and rain fell on the land. Deep in the soil,the pumpkin seed grew roots and leaves began to appear out of thedirt. The leaves grew large and after five weeks, the first flowers ap-peared. It contained two kinds of flowers - a male and a female
flower. The male flow-ers had a stamen inthe center that con-tained the pollen. Thefemale flower had ababy pumpkin at itsbase. The pumpkinvine’s big bright flow-ers attracted many in-sects. They wouldcome often to visit theflowers and as theywalked from the maleflower to the femaleflower, pollination oc-curred. The flowers then fell
from the plant and thepumpkin began togrow. It seemed togrow slowly at first andlooked just like a smallgreen ball. Within afew weeks, it grew tothe size of a basket-ball. Pumpkin plantsare very thirsty so the
The Perfect Pumpkinfarmer had to make sure that your pumpkin had plenty of water. Thepumpkin plant grew and stretched into long vines that covered theground. In August and into September, the pumpkin started to changeit’s color from green into orange. Now it’s October and the patchboasts of big, beautiful, orange pumpkins. So, let the search beginfor your perfect pumpkin!Once you get your pumpkin home, the best way to keep your pump-
kin fresh is to protect it from cold weather and bacteria that can makeit sick and rot too soon. On nights when the weatherman says it willfreeze, put your pumpkin in the garage or basement. Next comes the fun part! Deciding what to do with your pumpkin!
You could use it as a decoration for your Thanksgiving table, paint itwith a smile like your own, or carve it to make a jack-o-lantern. Letyour creative juices flow. You can use yarn for hair, vegetables for fa-cial features, even add earrings and dress them up with clothes!After Halloween, do not throw away your pumpkin! If you have a fewseeds left inside the shell, you can recycle your pumpkin by putting itin your garden over the winter. After the snow falls and spring beginsto warm the earth, Mother Nature may leave you a surprise! A newpumpkin plant of your own!
1. When carving your pumpkin, separate the seeds from the strings,place in a bowl of water and wash them between your fingers. Thenplace them in a strainer to dry for about 30 minutes. Make sure theyare all dry before cooking. Preheat the over to 275 degrees. Placeseeds on a cookie sheet. Spread out evenly. Melt the butter and driz-zle over seeds and sprinkle them with garlic sault and WorcestershireSauce. Cook for 10 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Turn every 5minutes until finished. Sprinkle with salt. Serve hot or cold.

Bowling is one of the most popular sports around the world.There are many reasons for its popularity: • Children and adults of nearly every ability level and age can par-ticipate.• It can be enjoyed as a relaxing, fun exercise for many years.• Bowling can contribute to toning muscles, balance, coordinationand motor skills.• Bowling is considered a social activity.
• Bowling is ac o m p e t i t i v esport.
The rules ofbowling are nothard to follow.The equipmentyou need is rightat the bowlingalley which in-cludes a bowlingball and bowlingshoes. Manybowling alleyswill offer instruc-tion for the be-ginner. Themodern daygame of bowlingis played on anindoor woodenor urethanelane. Ten pinsare arranged ina triangular for-mation 30 cen-timeters apart.
Bowling Is A FunWay To Exercise!
The game is played by rolling a ball down the lane in an ef-fort to knock down all the pins stationed at the other end ofthe lane. Each person is allowed two attempts per frameto knock down the pins. One game consists of 10 frames.The person with the highest score knocking down the pins,is the winner. Most bowling alleys offer rails or bumpers up on the sides
of some of their alleys for children. The children too youngto execute a full approach can stand near the foul line andusing two hands, shove the ball down the lane. This helpskids have the chance to knock down the pins! The bowl-ing alleys also have special shoes to fit children and bowl-ing balls that are not too heavy!

The Violin!One of the best known instruments in the orchestra is the violin.
The violin can be traced back to Italy in the early 1500’s. The vio-lin was officially designed by Andrea Amati, an Italian lute maker.Amati was asked to build the violin as a lighter alternative to thelyre.
The violin is played with a bow. It is the highest pitched instru-ment in the violin family which includes the cello, the vass viol andthe viola. It is made up of the front, ribs, neck, fingerboard, pegbox,
the scroll, the bridge,the tailpiece, chinrest and the f-holes.It has four strings (G, D, A, and E )which are fastenedto the tailpiece, restover the fingerboardand run to the peg-box. At the pegbox,the strings are at-tached to the tuningpegs. By turningthese pegs, the violincan be tuned. Whenthe musicianchanges finger posi-tions on the strings,different notes aremade. The bow isdrawn across thestrings which soundthe tone.
In the 17th and18th centuries, thecraft of violin makingbegan. Artists such
Itzhak PerlmanIsreali-born United States violinist, Itzhak Perlman has been
noted as being among the leading violinists before the public. Inthe twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, no other concert vi-olinist hasachieved thewidespread ex-posure or popu-larity attained byPerlman.
Despite a boutwith polio at theage of four thatleft his legs par-alyzed, he wasa prodigy andmade his U.S.television debutat age 13 on the Ed Sullivan Show. Taking up residence in NewYork City, he enrolled in Julliard School of Music. There is stud-ied with Ivan Galamian and Dorothy DeLay. Recognition of hisgifts led to a highly successful career as orchestral soloist andchamber-music player, with scores of recordings. Blessed with apopular touch, he has appeared on television, played jazz andklezmer music, and involved himself in educating young musi-cians.
as Antonio Stradivarius, Giuseppe Guarneri and Jacob Stainermade them in their workshops. Antonio Stradivarius is responsi-ble for creating possibly the best violin in the world named afterhimself, the Stradivarius. Many professional violinists choose toplay this instrument and they can sell for millions of dollars.
At first, the violin wasn’t very popular and considered low sta-tus socially. But by the 1800’s, well known composers such asClaudio Monteverdi used the violin in operas. The violin began togain some stature in the Baroque period as more known com-posers began using the violin in their works. One of these com-posers was Johann Sebastian Bach. By the mid-18th century,the violin was a vital part in instrumental music. It wasn’t until the19th century that violin virtuosos emerged.
