Be safe out there on Halloween

A few safety tips from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission can protect children who plan to go trick-or-treating this Halloween.

Treats: Warn children not to eat any treats before an adult has carefully examined them for evidence of tampering.

Costume Designs: Purchase or make costumes that are light and bright enough to be clearly visible to motorists.

• To easily see and be seen, children should also carry flashlights.

• Apply a natural mask of cosmetics rather than have a child wear a loose-fitting mask that might restrict breathing or obscure vision. If a mask is used, however, make sure it fits securely and has eyeholes large enough to allow full vision.

Pedestrian Safety: Young children should always be accompanied by an adult or an older, responsible child. All children should WALK, not run from house to house and use the sidewalk if available, rather than walk in the street. Children should be cautioned against running out from between parked cars, or across lawns and yards where ornaments, furniture, or clotheslines present dangers.

Choosing Safe Houses: Children should go only to homes where the residents are known and have outside lights on as a sign of welcome. Children should not enter homes or apartments unless they are accompanied by an adult.

"Nine Mile War"  

THE TIGERS FINALLY WON the "Nine Mile War" trophy in the third year of the resumption of playing Addison. Hudson used a hard-nosed defensive effort to get past the Panthers in a game that was a classic battle between these two rivals. The trophy was presented to Hudson after having watched the Panthers walk away with it the past two years by lopsided scores. This time it was Hudson's turn to enjoy the revelry that goes with winning the Big Game in the now annual Battle for 127.

Tigers head to playoffs

After a couple years of missing the postseason action, the Hudson Tigers return to MHSAA football playoff action as a result of their 12-0 victory over Addison last Friday evening. It'll be the first time the Tigers have been in the playoffs in three years.

The Tigers will play Blissfield at Blissfield in Division 6 play  at 7:00 PM on Friday evening. Since the Tigers lost to the Royals earlier in the season the game promises to be an intense rematch. While the Tigers lost 21-0 when the two teams met earlier this year, the team has turned their season around since then.

" Four weeks ago Hudson stood at 2-3 and needed to win four straight games to get into the playoffs and that is what they did," Sportswriter Bill Mullaly commented. "The Tigers are playing so much better and with more determination than five weeks ago."

Hudson has not scored on the Royals in three years falling 15-0, 14-0 and 21-0 so that is 50-0 over the past few years, but playoff rematches frequently lead to upsets.
