nside is an informative article on Trick or Treat/

Halloween safety. This may be old hat for some, but it can't hurt to brush up a bit and see if there are any new thoughts on the subject. Halloween is definitely one of children's top holidays and we want them all to have fun and stay safe. And remind them to stay on the sidewalks. The streets will be busy with cars and some costumes are hard to see. Remember to send us your costume, party and Trick or Treat pictures for the November issue to [email protected] If this hits your mailbox

before October 1st, make sure to get to the community garage sale. This time of year is great for finding some treasures that are perfect Christmas gifts. In November we will have our Christmas Coloring Contest. Look for a full size coloring page for children to color and send. The first place winner will receive a $25 gift card to Toys R Us on December 20th and the top 10 will be in the December newsletter.

Happy Halloween!!

Golf Golf Head Pro – Ben ChambersTip of the monthFeet Together Drill

One of the best drills out there is the keep your feet together drill. This drill promotes good balance and rhythm. It improves timing, reduces swaying and promotes good swing mechanics. Keep your feet together or a couple inches apart. With the ball on a tee, swing slowly at first concentrating on making solid contact. Always think tempo and rhythm. Once you are constantly making solid contact you can start hitting shots off the ground. When done correctly, you should be able to hit shots without having to take a step or fight for balance. You will be amazed at how far you can hit shots doing this drill. The feet together drill helps in many ways and is a great drill for warming up or to get back into a good rhythm on the golf course.

ccording to statistics, children are likely to be injured from falling

accidents on Halloween night four times more than any other night. Stands to reason?improperly fitted costumes, masks that block vision and hearing, and children crowded together, pushing, in a hurry to get to the next house. There are basic safety tips that can insure your family has a safe Halloween night. But don't wait until Halloween night to spring all these safety tips on them. Because of the excitement of the night, the sugar they may have consumed before going out, and the natural ability of children to tune adults out, you may want to begin addressing this issue long before then. It's

Safety for Hunter's Green

Trick O Treaters easy to sneak in a safety tip here and there throughout the week before. Costumes are one leading cause of accidents during this holiday, which can be alleviated by making sure the costume doesn't drag the ground. By allowing the child to wear the costume before the big night, you can check to see if it needs hemming. And above all else, check the label and make sure it's either flame retardant or flame resistant. Polyester is generally the best choice of material for the costume since cotton has a tendency to burn quickly. Other safety measures include making sure your child's mask is easy to see out of and there are no sharp items being carried that can cause injury when falling. Have your child carry a flashlight, even if you're going out with them, or one of the many glow sticks available. By going with children you are insuring their safety, but when you can't, always make sure children travel in a group. Shoes that match the costume are not

always a good idea, especially if these shoes are hard to walk in, wobbly, or too elevated. Maybe paint "Tinkerbelle's or Buzz Lightyear's white tennis shoes with sparkly glitter and other decorations. Remind them about sharing and making sure they don't crowd to the front of the line and push fellow trick-or-treaters. Shoving causes accidents. Keep the excitement down by not allowing them sugar treats before they leave the house. And above all else: No candy consumed until they get home to have it inspected. For older children who will be trick-or-treating without parents, make sure those older children check in with you periodically so you know their safe. What would Halloween be without carved pumpkins? But remember, a candle-lit pumpkin on the porch, or dangerously placed, can be hazardous. Talk to your kids about the hazards of burning jack-o-lanterns and lit up decorations. Have a safe and healthy Halloween. Enjoy the night! HG

Charles Jewelers continues it's reputation as a business gem in the heart of Tampa Palm's City Plaza. Owner, Jackie Tuozzo, and her sister, Jennifer, have built relationships with satisfied customers for 14 years and shared in their happy moments of gift giving. Transita Leiva, their 38 years of experience Master Jeweler, works on site to repair, reset and customize your old jewelry and stones into new treasures. Transita's son, Jonathan Leiva, continues the family tradition by taking acre of the watch department. The following is a sample list of the jewelry repair we offer:• Stones replaced set and tightened• Ring Resizing• Fixed or replace prong & settings

• New or repaired clasps• Broken or damages earring stems• Restringing pearl strands• Rodium Plating Rolex recommends service every 3-5 years. After this period of time the lubrication dries out causing the watch malfunction resulting in the wear and tear of the delicate parts of movement. To ensure perfect sealing we recommend to have the gaskets replaced every 3-5 years as well. We also service: Patek Philippe, Tag Heur, Baum Mercier, Ebel, Breitling, Movado, and many more. If you need an updated appraisal there is a monthly appraisal clinic by a GIA Appraiser. Remember, with the rising price of

gold, Charles Jewelers will turn your old, outdated gold into cash. Come to us last and we will beat your quoted price and throw in a gift certificate. We are celebrating 14 wonderful years here, so come meet us if you have not yet. It will be a fun, relaxing experience!
