“BE SAFE, BE SEEN THIS HALLOWEEN,” (says the Indiana Crime Prevention Coalition)

Go with a grown-up or in a group. Try to trick-or-treat early while there is still light outside. Wear a costume that makes it easier to walk, see, hear and be seen. If youngsters and chaperones are out after dark, make sure costumes are light in color. Use reflective tape to enhance costumes and be seen more easily. Carry a flashlight, reflective bag or glowstick.

Consider makeup instead of a mask. Cross only at corners – never between parked vehicles mid-block. Trick-or-treat in your own neighborhood. Agree what streets and homes will be visited and set boundaries. If streets have no sidewalks, avoid them or walk facing traffic. Adults should check all threats closely and report anything suspicious to police immediately. Early dusk, fallen leaves and seasonal drizzles can make Indiana streets unsafe on any given fall evening.  Add to that nearly one-half million, excited Hoosier youngsters clad in costumes that often block their vision while hurrying to strangers’ doors in areas that sometimes are unfamiliar – and you have tragedies waiting to happen.  By following these hard-learned lessons, Halloween can be memorable for all the right reasons.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER IS DONI ADAM

“My pupils want me to teach them how to paint, I hope to teach them how to see.”  Doni believes artists must learn to see the relationship and the rhythm in the lines, and also see the relationship of the colors and more important, to see the values within the colors.  “Without the correct value placement, the art work will be flat, without movement, and devoid of life.”

After attending Baker University in Baldwin, Kansas, where she majored in Education with minors in Art History and Music; Doni spent the next 25 years enjoying being a wife and mommy.  Doni was very involved with the usual Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Sunday School teacher, Nursery School teacher leadership roles.  Throughout these years, Doni bought many art books and enjoyed reading and studying the masters, particularly Michaelangelo, Norman Rockwell, and Andrew Wyeth.  The children grew up, left home, Doni picked up a paintbrush and the ‘magic began.  In 1993, Doni was honored to be chosen as a teacher at the national convention of the Society of Decorative Artists.  In 2000, Doni was certified Silver by TEAM (Teachers and Educators of Art Materials).  She is a past president of the Three Rivers Decorative Artists and is currently president of the Great Lakes Region of the Creative Artists Network, the National Teachers’ Network of ColArt Americas, Inc.
