For the next four weeks, theLoveland Herald will ask theseven Loveland city councilcandidates about issues facingthe city. Candidates are beingasked to limit their responses to100 words.

The seven candidates, in al-phabetical order, are DavidBednar, Linda Cox, Pam Gross,Barry Kuhn, Arthur Phelps,Rob Weisgerber and BrentZuch.

This week’s question:What changes, if any, would

youmake in the city’s budget toensure financial stability?Would you support another at-tempt at an income tax in-crease?

David Bednar

“Loveland’s budget has beenstructurally balanced for manyyears, 2013 is no different.Members of council, city staffand the financecommitteehavemadespendingcuts, consolidat-ed services, collaborated withother municipalities, out-sourced services and priori-tizedspendingtomaintainabal-ancedbudgetwhilemaintainingour services at a high profes-sional level. In-light of strongincome tax collections, we need

tomaintain our fiscal conserva-tive approach in years to come.I wouldn’t change the budget aswe are on the right road.

“I heard the voice of the resi-dents about a tax increase andwill honor their voice going for-ward.”

Linda Cox“The budget is a plan, not an

end in itself. Council must di-rect administration to plan to

operate efficiently within ourmeans. There has been no dis-cernible loss of services overthe past few years. In fact, thecity has been able to tap its re-sources to begin filling thedowntown site to prepare it forredevelopment.

“Voters were absolutelyright in resoundinglyvoting 'no’for the 25 percent earnings taxincrease. The city tightened itsbelt and today revenues and

housing and business starts areup.Thingsare trending inapos-itive direction, all without a taxincrease.”

Pam Gross“The 2013 budget was bal-

anced; now we must initiatemeaningful changes in the waythe city does business: consoli-date services that lend them-selves to joint cost savings, de-velop partnerships with the

MIAMI TWP. —Miami Town-ship has a new fire chief, andhe comes fromWest Chester.

Stephen Kelly, formerlythe captain of emergencymedical services for WestChester Township, was of-fered a conditional contractlast month.

“He targetedwhat wewerelooking for,” said Trustee KenTracy.

“He came from an out-standing township – WestChester Township, which isone of the largest townships inthe state of Ohio – with greatexperience and knowledge.”

Kelly recently received hismaster’s degree in public ad-ministration from NorthernKentucky University and saidhe is excited to put it to use inMiami Township.

“As far as personally andprofessionally, I’m a drivenperson – very motivated. I’vebeen with West Chester for 17years, so I’mverydedicated tothe organization I work for,”Kelly said.

Kelly, a Mason resident,takes over the position afterofficials bought 1.12 acres ofland on Sugar Camp Road topotentially be used for a newstation.

“I think initially (my chal-lenge) is going to be getting toknowthecultureof thedepart-ment and township as a

whole,” Kelly said.“Getting with the depart-

ment, I understand they haveacquired some landandare in-terested inaddinga fourthsta-tion. That presents a greatdeal of challenges ... as (to)how how we would go aboutdoing that in a fiscally respon-sible manner.”

ButKelly has been a part ofsimilar expansion during histime in West Chester.

“When I first started wealso had three stations. Thenin 1998, West Chester addedtwo stations,” he said.

“With Miami Township po-tentially looking (to add a sta-tion), I feel like there are a lotof experiences I had there(will be beneficial).”

“We created residentpanels to suggest cuts,which were incorporated.We balanced the budgetby reorganizing depart-ments, outsourcing, pri-vatizingandcollaboratingand staff is down nearly20 percent.

Barry Kuhn“I believe that the cur-

“I think thatwe need tofocus more on increasingour revenue streams(such as the revitalization

of the Loveland-MadeiraRoad corridor) than oncutting more items fromthe budget. We need tomake this city more at-tractive tosmallbusiness-es,and lookforcompaniesto fill any vacancies in theindustrial park.

“This city needs morejobs, not taxes.”

Arthur Phelps“I would not support

another attempt at an in-come tax increase. Citi-zens voted on this last No-vember and rejected it. Iaccept this. The city hastoo and has taken neces-sary and responsible belttightening actions involv-ing spending cuts, staffreductions and some out-sourcing of services in or-der to balance the budget.The main change to Love-land’s budget I would liketo see is an increase inrevenues – somethingthat can be provided withmore economic activity,business developmentand redevelopment.

LOVELAND — With six golf-ers in the Eastern CincinnatiConference’s top10, it shouldn’tbe a shock that Loveland HighSchool’s boys will be replacingtheir divots in the Division Idistrict tournament for a sec-ond straight year.

The Tigers tee off at Weath-erwax Golf Course on Oct. 10.

“Getting past sectionals isalways a nerve-wracking expe-rience,” coach Andy Fredettesaid. “Fortunately, they rose tothe occasion.”

After nine holes at the sec-tionals at Glenview, Fredettehad some frustration. Midwaythrough the round, his Tigerswere fifth. Fortunately, theyralliedwith149on thebacknineto finish second to Moeller(305-315).

Loveland’s top four scores intheir 315 total were from co-medalist senior Colin Joseph at71; junior Isaac Vock at 79; sen-ior Reid Waddell at 81 and sen-ior Brian Bullock at 84. JuniorAustin Osborne also shot 86.

“IsaacVockwasnineoveronthe front nine and came backwith two under (34) on thefront,” Fredette said. “We’retalking about a huge turn-around. Very impressive.”

Vock’s 34 was the lowestnine-hole score of the day.That’s how it’s been the pastcouple of months. In any givenround, a given Tiger can catchfire.

“They’ve all been prettysteady,” Fredette said. “Proba-bly the best thing about theteam is we had six leaguematches andwehad five differ-ent kids be medalists.”

Loveland has actually hadthe entire team shoot medalist-worthy scores. Fredette wouldlove to see that typeofgroupef-fort at Weatherwax.

“We played the preseasonECC tournament and all six

were under 80,” Fredette said.“They’ve done well this year.This next tournament is a bighurdle with Moeller, St. X,Springboro, Oak Hills and Bea-vercreek. There’s some toughteams out there.”

Joseph, a senior transferfromKalamazoo, has led theTi-gers all season and averaged37.42 at presstime for nineholes. The rest of Loveland’slinksmen fall in from 38-40 be-tween Vock, Waddell, Bullock,Osborne and Perry Strong.Loveland subs BrianMcElveenand Tyler Davis would be reg-ulars at most schools.

“Iwould saydepth-wisewiththeir ability to shoot low scoresas a team, they’re one of thebest teams I’ve had,” Fredette

said. “From one to eight,they’re certainly one of thebest.”

The difference in last year’sdistrict qualifiers and the 2013Tigers may be experience andconfidence. They’ve been toWeatherwax before and Fre-dette thinks the course sets upwell for his guys.

“Last year we were onlyabout seven or eight shots fromqualifying for state and I thinkthat really opened their eyes,”he said. “With the addition ofColin (Joseph) reaching theirultimate goal is not that far offat all.”

Loveland last had a stategolfer in 2010 when ThomasRooney made it individually. Ayear ago, Reid Waddell lost aplayoff that would’ve sent himto Columbus.

If the Bomber were toplay the Old Course todayhis score would be betterconsidering the improve-ment in his game fromlast season to this. At thesame sectional last sea-

son, Magowan shot a 76,which is nothing to beashamed about, but his 67this year just shows hismaturity on the course.

“I’ve come a long wayto thispoint fromlastyearwith my game,” he said.“… I’ve felt changes withhelp frommy coach (AlexKepley) and my brother,who helped coach me, soI’ve seen a lot of thingsthat have gotten better.Looking towards the fu-ture I think if I keep at ittherewillbe lessmistakesand more greatness.”

Magowan has one traitthat any golfer will tell

you is the key to success:A short memory. His abil-ity to forget the last shotand focus on the presentone iswhatultimatelywilllead to his success at St. Xand beyond.

“… Each day is a newday, each shot is a differ-ent shot andwhen you areplaying well you just takeevery shot one-by-one,”Magowan said, whowon aPGA Junior Series eventat Kearney Hills GolfLinksthissummerinKen-tucky. “I don’t really looktoo far ahead; I’mmore ofa person that stays in themoment of things.”

The Southwest Ohio AirQuality Agency has recordedragweed in recent pollencounts signifying ragweed hasbegun to bloom in GreaterCincinnati.

Ragweed is a summer annu-al that produces abundantpollen and is the primary causeof hay fever. Although rag-weed is already present, Sep-tember tends to be its peakmonth and those who sufferfrom allergies may have in-creased symp-toms duringthe next sev-eral weeks.

Ragweedplants aredominant inthe Midwestand producebillions ofpollen grainswhich areeasily caughtby the windand spread throughout theregion. The severity of hayfever depends on the amountof pollen in the air and thedegree of sensitivity of theperson.

On cloudy, windless or rainydays, the average sufferermay have fewer symptoms dueto little pollination and dissem-ination of the pollen. When theweather becomes hot, dry,sunny and windy, symptomsmay spike and return. A frostusually ends the hay feverseason for most sufferers.

To reduce exposure to rag-weed and other pollens andmolds, the Southwest Ohio AirQuality Agency recommends:

» Avoid areas with freshlycut grass and avoid lawn careactivities, such as rakingleaves or working with com-post.

»Minimize outdoor activitybetween 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. –when pollen levels are highest.

» After being outdoors, it isbest to shower and changeclothing, as pollen can adhereto clothing, skin and hair. Beaware that pets can also bringpollen into your home.

»Keep windows closed anduse an air conditioner in thehome and car as much as pos-sible to reduce the amount ofallergens entering.

»Don't hang sheets or cloth-ing outside to dry. Pollens cancollect on them.

» Contact an allergist ordoctor for medical advice.

The Southwest Ohio AirQuality Agency tracks pollenand mold levels on weekdaysand posts the counts by 10 a.m.at 513-946-7753 andSouthwestOhioAir.org. Thehigher the pollen and moldcount is, the greater the likeli-hood that particles will maketheir way into the nasal pas-sages and lungs and induceallergic symptoms. Additionalinformation can be found inthe Living with Allergies bro-chure, available for downloadat SouthwestOhioAir.org ormailed by request.

The Loveland Police Divi-sion needs your help.

The phrase “do more withless” has been used so muchrecently it seems like ancientwisdom. This is a nice phraseto say. However, actuallydoing more work with fewerresources is extremely diffi-cult.

What I think people reallymean is “work smarter withwhat you have.” This, I cancertainly understand andappreciate. Loveland, likemany of its neighbors, hasbeen forced to make sometough economic decisions. Wehave weathered through

many toughdays, but itlooks likestablegrowth maybe ahead.

This is agood time toreflect onhow we havedone andprioritize ourpath for-

ward. Sir Robert Peel usednine principles of profession-al policing to establish thefirst professional police agen-cy in London in the early1800s. The roots of all profes-

sional police agencies, in-cluding the Loveland PoliceDivision, can be traced backto these principles. They canbe loosely summarized bysaying professional policeagencies derive authorityfrom the approval and re-spect of the community.

This month, the LovelandPolice Division will mail asurvey to random residents ineach neighborhood asking fortheir feedback. We are askingthe community not only howmuch do you approve andrespect our work, but also,what are our future priori-ties?

The Loveland Police Divi-sion takes great pride respon-ding to our community needs.This survey will help us nar-row down those needs evenmore and “work smarter withwhat we have.”

If you receive a surveycard in October, please take amoment to fill it out and dropit in the mail. You will beproviding us valuable feed-back about our performance,and help establish a path for-ward for both of us.

“I would feel safe aboardthe Delta Queen on the OhioandMississippi rivers. Com-pare the DQ’s safety recordversus the Ocean-going Carni-val cruise liners with thou-sand of passengers on board.Granted the DQ is wood, butat least land is in site 100 per-cent of the time and there arenot any Somali pirates (IndianOcean), ice bergs (Titanic) orcowardly captains (CostaConcordia). It will be great tosee the Delta Queen back inthe Queen City at the NewBanks. Hopefully The Belle ofLouisville will be here to racethe DQ again for opening day.I will look forward to thatoverhead picture (from ablimp) and all the politiciansthere taking credit. They mayoutnumber the passengers. Go

“I would love to be a pas-senger on the Delta Queen ifthe cost wasn't so exorbitant. Ithink it's great that the DeltaQueen is still in operation toremind us of our past mode oftransportation that didn'tinvolve cars.”

“I would feel more safe onthe Delta Queen, for if were tosink, at least you could swimto shore. If I were to ride withthe government, I think wejust keep sinking and no way

to be saved.”D.J.“Why not? The Delta Queen

still appears as a sound vessel,and I am certain all mainte-nance is up to par according tomaritime and Coast Guardregulations. Yes, I would loveto take a trip on this historicboat.”

why not?

“Division 1 (FBS) athleteson full scholarship get room,board, meals, tuition andbooks. These scholarships canlast up to five years; so far sogood. However the Schol-arships can be withdrawn orrenewed on a yearly basis. Notall athletes playing a sporthave these 'full rides.’ Ath-letes on full rides are not al-lowed to work. They put inabout 30 hours per week ontheir sport plus going to classand studying. Many athletescome from homes that can notprovide spending money; theycannot sell their tickets ormemorabilia. Many of thesecollege sports (football, bas-ketball) provide billions inrevenue to the colleges via TVpackages and tickets sales. Ihave no problem with theseathletes getting some reason-able spending money.I amquite sure the athletic depart-ments can spare this stipend. ”

Our elections letters,columns policy About 2,400 years ago, the Greek play-

wright Agathon wrote, “Only this is deniedto the Gods, the ability to change the past.”

I know of no surviving elements of hisplays, but the importance of the quote hasintrigued me for years. In these times it

bears serious thought.For those who are not

familiar with Greek thea-ter, let me give you a fewtips. The plays were shortand carried a messagealmost like a sermon. Theyusually presented a seriousproblem, but not an an-swer. This was to be dis-cussed as the viewerswalked home from theperformance. As the group

reached a crossroad they stopped in orderto continue the discussion. This led to acommon word of today, trivia, meaningthree ways.

The Gods had human attributes andoften human failings so that mortals couldrelate to them. Tragedies were generallyabout personal faults and comedies tendedtoward societal failings. If you read someof these plays, you will find that they canbe presented as present day problems.

“Lysistrata” (cleansing of strife) is anantiwar play where the women of Greecego on a sex strike to make the men quitgoing to war. Is often presented in a mod-ern format.

As Albert Einstein noted, humanity hasnot changed, but we create mass technol-

ogy to do harm to others. Sadly, we con-tinue our tendency to do so.

I think the major part of that problem isthat we tend to be very intensely partial toour own social sub groups. We tend to viewothers with extreme disfavor at the worstor with guarded acceptance at best.

I have been fortunate to have traveledamong many very diverse groups. Insteadof dismissing them as strange or unequal, Ihave tried to understand and accept themfor what makes their society unique. In thisway I learn and appreciate my new foundinterests.

Old hostilities lasting for centuries arenot forgiven, but often intensified to thedisadvantage of all. They are mostly, butnot all, toward other races or religions.Even worse is the prejudice that seeps outof these hatreds and causes others to makepoor judgements. Those only add to theproblems of humanity.

Lately, government forms seem to addto the problems. Somemay feel that theycause discrimination. I have a private joketo let you in on. When I get one of theseforms, in the space for race, I put “human.”For religion, I enter “yes.” You might imag-ine what I enter for sex if I am in a whim-sical mood!

We cannot reverse the wrongs that all ofus have committed during our lives. In thisera of bitterness over religion, race ornationality it is time for humanity to over-come the cult of feigned superiority.

LOVELAND — Firefightersfrom six departments joined po-lice officers and sherrif depu-ties in Loveland to commemo-rate the 12th anniversary of the9/11 terrorist attacks.

“The promisewe allmade af-ter 9/11 was to never forget,”Loveland-Symmes Fire ChiefOtto Huber said.

“This a way to take it back toMain Street every year andthink about the importance ofcommunity.”

Huber, along with 25 fire-fighters from his departmentand their comrades from Deer-field Township, Lebanon, Go-shen, Sharonville and Blue Ash,gathered for the 11th time to laya wreath at the base of the 9/11

Memorial just off the LovelandBike Trail.

The memorial in Lovelandwasthefirst toreceiveapieceofsteel from theWorld Trade Cen-ter,whichwas affixed to theme-morial for the fire department’sfirst commemoration ceremonyin 2002.

“It’s nice to support the com-munity,” saidBethSaum,wifeofLoveland-Symmes FirefighterJeremy Saums, who attendedthe ceremony with her husbandand two daughters.

“We have to remember whathappenedthatday,andalsowhat

has happened to all firefighters,and pull together as a communi-ty and support everyone.”

The ceremony was attendedby about 50 people, includingLoveland Councilman BrentZuch and Councilwoman LindaCox.

“I think it’s great the Love-land-Symmes Fire Departmentorganizes this every year,” Zuchsaid.

“You know, 9/11 is a day to re-member those who lost theirlives and to strengthen our re-solve – it’s never been easy to bea beacon of hope and liberty forthe rest of the world and that’sreally our role as Americans.”

OCTOBER 9, 2013 • LOVELAND HERALD • B3LIFE

The seasons on ourlittle patch of heaven aremarked by what’s goingon outside in our gardensand what my husband,Frank, is doing with ouroutside equipment. Rightnow he’s “salting thingsaway for the winter,”meaning he’s servicing

the tiller,tractor,boat andlawnmow-ers for awinter restin the ga-rage.

Our bellpeppershave final-ly ripened,so I was

able to add them to anantipasto tray I made fora friend’s rehearsal din-ner.

Easy antipastoNeed a stunning and

delicious appetizer? Anantipasto tray fills thebill. It is not only appeal-ing to the eye, but there’ssomething on the tray foreverybody.

Go to your olive barand ask lots of questions.I went to the EastgateJungle Jim’s olive barand was able to samplewhatever I wanted. Thiswill help in choosing theright ingredients foryour budget and guests. Idid choose olives withoutpits. Since prosciutto isexpensive, I bought a fewslices to garnish andfolded them over on topof the antipasto. I alsosprinkled a can of chick-peas on top. The nicething about this recipe isthat it can be assembleda day ahead. For the

sauce, I use Caesar saladdressing with freshherbs stirred in. I drizzlethe dressing on rightbefore I serve it.

My favoritetwo-way brisket

Brisket is a cut ofmeat from the lowerchest or breast of beef. Itis amazingly flavorful,but tough, so slow cook-ing is a must. Either wayyou cook this – in theoven or in a slow cooker –the brisket turns outtender and so delicious.Serve with mashed pota-toes or noodles.

3 pounds beef brisket2 cups chili sauce

1 cup brown sugar, packed1 cup beef broth1 very large onion, sliced1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves3 bay leavesSalt and pepper to taste

Oven: Preheat oven to325 degrees. Combinechili sauce, sugar andbroth. Pour about half ofthis in the bottom ofroasting pan. Place bris-ket on sauce, fat side up.Distribute onion, clovesand bay leaves over bris-ket. Pour rest of sauceover. Cover and bake50-55 minutes per poundor until meat is fork ten-der. Remove brisketfrom pan and removebay leaves and whole

cloves. Cut brisketacross the grain. Skimoff any fat from top ofsauce. Pour sauce overbrisket (or put sauce inrefrigerator overnightand the fat will congealon top for easy removal.Then reheat with brisketin 375 degree oven, cov-ered, or in microwave).

Slow cooker: I like tocook mine 9-12 hours orso on low, until meltinglytender.

Perfectly grilledsalmon/seafoodfollowing the 70/30rule

Have the grill hot,lightly brush both sides

of fish with oil, and startgrilling skin side up withthe grill closed. (Or put adisposable pan over thefish). Leave it alone untilabout 70 percent of thefish is done on first side.You’ll know it by thelooks and also if it willrelease easily. This al-lows fish to form a nicecrust. Turn it and finishcooking. The rule ofabout 7-10 minutes perinch of thickness works,also. Start with 7 minutesand go from there.

Readers want toknow:

Honing steels: “Myhoning/knife steel doesn’twork anymore. Should Ireplace it?” Run yourthumbnail around thecircumference of thetool. If you can still feelgrooves, your steel is stilluseful. It is magnetizedto pick up microscopicfillings that come off theknife’s blade. It’s a good

idea to rub the steel witha cloth after use sogrooves don’t getclogged. Now unless thehoner has diamond chipsin it, most steels won’tsharpen a dull knife (theyrestore the knife’s bite bystraightening the micro-scopic “teeth” at the edgethat fold with use). Noweven if your honing steelis in good condition,sometimes a knifedoesn’t respond to hon-ing. If that happens, it’stime to get the knifesharpened professional-ly.

These days scammershave taken to the in-ternet to steal your mon-ey with fake emails,fraudulent websites andmisleading sales offers.While internet scams arenumerous, several con-

sumersstill reportreceivingscamsthroughthe mail.

A FortThomasman wroteme about acredit cardoffer hereceived

from AmTrade Interna-tional Bank. It offeredhim a credit card with “A$3,600 Visa credit limit!Guaranteed!”

The man sent whatwas supposed to havebeen a refundable $900fee, but says he neverreceived the credit cardnor a pre-paid gas cardthat was also promised.The 74-year-old man sayshe’s on a fixed income sothe loss of all that moneyhit him pretty hard.

Although he paid bycheck and contacted theFederal Bureau of In-vestigation and the Fed-eral Trade Commission,he was told nothing couldbe done to recover hismoney. Such scams arevery popular so remem-ber never send money tosomeone who promisesto loan you money orextend credit.

A Hyde Park womanwrote me to say sheknew immediately theletter she received was ascam. It allegedly camefrom Publishers ClearingHouse and used the com-pany’s real address. The$1.5 million she was toldshe won was anythingbut real. She knew not tobother calling the longdistance phone numbergiven to claim her win-nings.

A Wyoming womanreceived a letter tellingher she qualified for an

award of two round-tripairline tickets. She sus-pected it was a scambecause there was noreturn address and theletter had bad punctua-tion. So she too was toldto call a phone number toclaim her prize, alleged-ly valued at nearly$1,400.

Better Business Bu-reau says this is just aphishing scam intendingto steal people’s personalinformation. This womannever entered a contestto receive this award oftwo free airline ticketsplus two nights a majorhotel.

Fortunately, just likethe Hyde Park woman,the Wyoming womandidn’t call the numberand says she wants towarn others about thisscam. Many peopleacross the nation havereceived this letter. Oneperson who called wastold they first had toattend a timeshare salespresentation before theycould receive the ticketsthey won. Another per-son who called was toldthey had to give theircredit card number overthe phone.

One of the most fre-quent scams I’ve run intoinvolves criminals send-ing you what appears tobe a real check for thou-sands of dollars. You’resupposed to deposit thecheck, keep some of themoney, then wire the restto the sender. Unfortu-nately, many consumerslearn too late that thecheck they received inthe mail is phony – andnow they’re on the hookto repay the bank for thegood money they wiredto the criminals.

Bottom line, the mailis still full of scams.

If you want to partici-pate in theHalloweenEdi-tion, a haunted spinoff ofthe Amazing CharityRace, grab three of your

kind and register now be-cause only 150 four-mem-ber teams will be accept-ed.

TheHalloween Editionwill begin at 6 p.m. Satur-day, Oct. 26, in downtownMilford.

For the time being, or-ganizers are keeping de-tails of what participating

teams will be asked to doas hidden asmonsters un-der the bed.

But they involvechoos-ing a “trick” to completeby 8 p.m., with judges an-nouncing the winners andhanding out prizes in Mil-ford pubs after 9 p.m.

From 8 p.m. to themid-night witching hour, the

pubs will host a progres-sive beer and food-tastingparty.

Participantsmust be atleast 21 years old.

Loveland businessmanMartin Schickel is an or-ganizer of the HalloweenEdition and the AmazingCharity Race, both ofwhich raise money for lo-cal charities.

Schickel saidmore andmore people have beenshowing up at theHallow-een Edition in costumes.

“They aren’t required,but people just want tohave funwith it,” Schickelsaid.

“This year we will adda street beer-tent venue,anall-newscavengerhuntand a big side of spooky.

“Of course, the JudgesParade will be back,”Schickel said.

“People are going tohave a blast.”

Milford City Manager

JeffWrightsaid thecity ispleased to again host theHalloween Edition in itsdowntown business dis-trict – and to haveMilford“recognized as a premierhotspot for activities.”

“Last year’s event wassuch a success that theyare increasing the num-ber of participants from400 to 600,” Wright said.

“The organizers, cityand merchants have de-veloped a very positiverelationship.”

That’s not the case nowwith Loveland, which foryears hosted Loveland’sAmazing Race – a collec-tion of fun and funny con-tests and challenges – inJune, and the HalloweenEdition in October.

But after a run-in withsome Loveland officials,race organizers renamedLoveland’s Amazing Racethe Amazing CharityRace and conducted it in

Milford inJune 2013.

Thenext Amaz-ing CharityRace willbe Satur-day, June14, 2014, intheMilford

area.Milford first hosted

the Halloween Edition inOctober 2012.

Register for this year’sHalloween Edition athalloweenedition.com.
