With Halloween just weeks away, officials at Owen Electric Cooperative are encouraging parents and grandparents to protect their children and grandchildren by taking these steps:
• Make sure costumes are flame resistant.
• Instead of buying masks, which can block vision, use makeup.
• Attach reflective tape to costumes and bags.
• If you set out pumpkins with candles inside, place them where kids’ costumes can’t accidentally catch on fire.
• Remove tripping hazards from your sidewalk and porch.

Golf is a game of what ifs. What if I had made that putt? What if I had kept the ball in the fairway?
For two members of the Owen County High School golf team they may be asking themselves those questions until next season.   
The Owen County High School girls’ golf team traveled to Bowling Green last week looking to play well enough on Day 1 to have the chance to play on Day 2.
For Shelby Power and Kennedi Dermon, they came close.
Power fired an 87 in her opening round and Dermon shot an 88.
