Another great time was had by all as over 370 kids attended this years Trunk or Treat at the Wargo Park and Sports Complex dressed in their Halloween finest. Volunteers registered their vehicles with the Olyphant Crime Watch, and handed out candy from their decorated trunks. It had all the fun of trick or treating in a safe, fun environment. Thanks again to everyone who made it possible!

October 21, 2015: It's the Day Marty McFly went 30 years into the future in the "Back to the Future" films. It's also today...well...actually it's going to be less and less today as that point in history becomes more and more historical.

But it's an excellent time to ponder the differences between 1985 and 2015--especially with regards to smartphones, the Internet, and Social Media.
