HOWL-o-ween Ah, Halloween in Ohio. If you grew up in the Buckeye state, you remember all too well how to pick out a good Halloween costume: It had to be big enough to wear a coat underneath (never know about the weather here!) and no slippery shoes (wet leaves on sidewalks are a hazard, you know) and, of course, nothing that would interfere with your ability to carry a really, really big bag for all that candy you were sure to collect! Well, it’s time again to shiver, haunt and howl! Grab you favorite goblins and go have some fun. fall • ohio • diane ceccardi • stresing • terflinger

OPINION: It's Enough to Drive You Bonkers On May 8, a truck driver on the Ohio Turnpike called in a report that a woman who had just passed him was driving with a baby on her lap. When Catherine Donkers of Michigan was stopped by a State Trooper, she claimed her husband, Brad Barnhill, was responsible--even though he wasn't in the car. The case was tried in Portage County in August. Donkers, who was found guilty of several misdemeanors, including driving without a valid operator’s license, child endangerment and failure to comply with the order of a police officer, has since appealed. I say, it's enough to drive you...well, you know. donkers • barnhill • breast feeding • driving • ohio
