ALL QUIET ON HALLOWEEN FRONT -- Despite the fact that Halloween occurred on a Saturday night, the evening traditionally set aside for pranks, costumes and tooth decay passed very quietly. Scarcely an egg was thrown in downtown Bowmanville and the streets were empty of Halloween pranksters here as well as in many of the surrounding communities. Most people also noticed fewer trick-or-lreaters at their doors this year, although there does seem to be an increase in Halloween decorations. All of this suggests that Halloween isn't what it used to be. Which, in the view of almost anybody over 18, is not a bad thing. KIDS AT WORK -- The local work force will be looking a lot younger today (November 4th) as grade nine students join parents, relatives, friends and neighbours neighbours in a "Take our Kids to Work" day. Since the idea was launched in 1994, this day has developed into a nation-wide project involving over 200,000 students and 75,000 workplaces. The day helps students explore the world of work and ask themselves critical questions concerning their future careers. About 1,800 grade nines from the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board will be. at work today. Ontario Hydro's Darlington Nuclear station will host about 100 students and is just one of many local businesses taking part in the program. GHOSTS IN ONTARIO --- That's the theme of a book that came across our desk entitled "Haunted Ontario" by Terry Boyle. Clarington isn't,in the book. But our neighbours in Scugog have two chapters. There is the famous "ghost road" on Scugog Island which is haunted by a phantom motorcyclist. Some claim it's a headless phantom motorcyclist. And, the Jester's Court pub in downtown Port Perry boasts a number of spooky phenomena, including phantom visitors. FAMILY TREE --- A recent story that appeared in the Toronto Star sports pages brought Snuffy Hunt down to the office with an interesting tidbit of information. The story was about Lori Nichol, of Keswick, who is regarded as one of the top choreographers in the world of figure skating. Turns out Lori's mother, June (Wood), was the Centennial queen for Bowmanville back in 1958. Without getting too deep into the family tree and confusing everyone, the Woods and Hunts are related, which translates into Lori having a number of relatives in the Clarington area. One of Lori's brightest stars is Michelle Kwan, of the United States, who won a silver medal at the Olympics. TAKE A MESSAGE-- This from the category of you thought you've seen it all with cell phones." While visiting a barbershop in Bowmanville on Saturday afternoon, the cell phone of a customer in the next chair rang just as he sat down. Unable to describe how he wanted his hair cut before answering the call, the hairdresser hairdresser was left waiting for the conversation to be completed completed before starting. Meanwhile, as the call dragged on for over five minutes, an agitated group of customers began fidgeting uncomfortably on benches while awaiting awaiting their turn. We're not sure how the scenario played out, but the last we saw of this scene, the customer was still slouched in the chair with the phone shoved in his ear. Which probably ; isn't the, first place the,.phone would have been shoved had the other customers got (heir hands on the irritating little device. We've heard that ignorance is blind. But apparently it can talk. The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 4, 1998 A "Face from the Past Sher Lectooze took time out to dress as the school's namesake at the grand opening of Lydia Trull Public School in Courtice last Thursday, October 29.

Phm. Breast-feeding has many merits. If a child is breast-fed exclusively for 15 weeks or more, studies show the child will have fewer respiratory Illnesses and will be generally healthier through childhood. These benefits appear to also reduce the risk of hypertension and obesity later In life. The birth control pill Is 99% effective but pregnancies still occur.

Compost food waste to help your gardens grow, or bring food waste to local farms for livestock. 2. Ship breakables in old newspaper or packaging pellets made from cornstarch instead of foam popcorn; use packaging made from recycled products. 3. Separate your waste materials - such as glass, plastic, and paper - and bring them to your collection center or to the curbside for pick-up. CONSERVE 1. Energy: Use fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent. Install energy-efficient windows. Eat locally grown food to save on transportation costs. 2.
