A-10 Local Wednesday, October 24, 2018 The Press-Dispatch Paid for by Frank Coleman for Sheriff Frank and Beth, his wife of 38 years. Our son, Frank, his wife, Leigha, and our two wonderful grandsons, Isaac and Titus. I have the experience you deserve and will make the changes you desire. I need your vote to make those changes. I will strive to "Always do the right thing." COLEMAN VOTE PIKE CO. SHERIFF "The change you desire. The experience you deserve." People are saying we need CHANGE at the Sheriff's Office. I agree. As Sheriff, I'll take these proac ve measures to protect our children and adults: • Combine inves ga on efforts with state and federal drug enforcement units to combat and reduce drug trafficking. • Combat drug ac vity using community repor ng and crime data to direct inves ga ons and patrols. • Combine inves ga on efforts with Petersburg Police to combat crimes against children including arrests of internet predators. • Update procedures and training to make the jail more secure to prevent prisoner escape and smuggling drugs into the jail – an inmate escape occurred in 2017 as reported in The Press Dispatch. My 28 years of law enforcement experience far exceeds my opponent. My experience as Field Training Officer, Academy Instructor and inves gator of drug crimes and crimes against children (more than 95% convic on rate) will be a valuable asset to update training for depu es.

Everyone wants their Halloween festivities to be fun, but it is important that trick-or- treaters and their chaperones prior- itize safety as well. The child welfare organization Safe Kids says that twice as many child pe- destrians are killed while walking on Halloween compared to other days of the year. In addition, the National Safety Council states that darting out or running into the road accounts for about 70 percent of pedestrian deaths or injuries among children between the ages of five and nine and about 47 percent of incidents for kids between the ages of 10 and 14. Ensuring trick-or-treating young- sters are visible to motorists can make Halloween safer for everyone in- volved. The American Academy of Pe- diatrics and other safety groups sug- gest the following strategies for safe trick-or-treating. • Supervise the festivities. Adults should chaperone young trick- or-treaters who are unlikely to be fo- cused on safety in the midst of Hal- loween excitement. • Use reflective tape or LED lights. Dark costumes coupled with twilight can make it difficult for mo- torists to see trick-or-treating young- sters. Parents can improve the chanc- es of their kids being seen by motor- ists by adhering reflective tape onto kids' costumes. Glow sticks and wear- able LED lights also can illuminate trick-or-treaters. • Carry lanterns or flashlights. Children and/or chaperones who car- ry flashlights and lanterns can im- prove their own visibility while also making themselves more visible to motorists. Lanterns and flashlights help trick-or-treaters avoid holes, cracked pavement and other obsta- cles. For those children who want to free up their hands for better treat gathering, lights that strap to the head are an option. • Keep the lights on. Homeown- ers can do their part by keeping out- door flood lights and accent lighting on to make paths safer for youngsters on the prowl for Halloween candy. • Choose face makeup over masks. Children wearing masks may not spot oncoming cars or other haz- ards. Face makeup won't affect kids' visibility but will still help them look scary. With the right combination of cau- tion and fun, Halloween can be an enjoyable time for youngsters and adults. PUZZLED ABOUT WHAT TO READ? ..and you will have your solution. subscribe to 812-354-8500
