Halloween and daylight savings safety for your dog

BY STEVE REID
GUEST COLUMNIST

Fall Tips for your Dog: Halloween Safety and
Daylight Savings
Halloween is enjoyed by children and adults
alike, but it can be scary and dangerous for your dog.

Here are a few proactive Halloween safety tips for your

dog.

• Do NOT leave your pet in the yard alone on Hal-

loween. Dogs should be kept indoors on Halloween

and only taken out on a leash to go to the bathroom.

Unfortunately there are many horrible stories of animals

being teased, injured and stolen on Halloween night.

• Dog costumes can be an unnecessary stressor and

are NOT for every dog. Only dress your dog in an ap-

propriately tted costume if they are completely com-

fortable with it. A too restrictive costume that obstructs

their view can cause even the nicest dog to snap, growl,

or show aggression if they can’t clearly see what is go-

ing on.

• Most people open their door frequently on Hal-

loween night to greet trick-or-treaters. Each time you

open your door, it is one more chance for your dog to

escape. Help prevent your dog from running away by

placing them in another room that is safe to stay in for

the evening.

Halloween is a fun and exciting evening for humans,

but let’s make sure we keep our dogs happy and safe this

October 31st.

ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT – EVAN MAZZOLA

Soccer created
unforgettable
memories for senior

BY ROB DIANTONIO
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Somers senior Evan Mazzola is a mid elder on the varsity soccer
team. e Tuskers nished the regular season 14-1 and received the No.
3 seed in the Class A sectionals. Last season, Somers won the Section 1
Class A title and advanced all the way to the state championship game.

How old were you when you started playing soccer and how

did you get started?

I started playing soccer once I was able to really kick a ball. My

earliest memories are of me and my brothers playing soccer. My two

older brothers taught me how to play.

What are the team’s goals for the rest of this season?

As we head into sectionals the team is very focused on taking

the season one game at a time. We are hoping to build momentum

throughout the section’s race like we did last year. Getting back to

where we were last year is the goal.

As a senior on the team, how much do you value being a leader?

Being a leader on such a talented squad is a big commitment. e

younger kids on the team look up to the seniors, so we try and set

the best examples on and o the eld.

Who has been your biggest role model over the years and what

have you learned from them?

One of my biggest role models is actually my coach Brian Lan-

zetta. Brian knows my game. He’s seen me play since I was 5, and he

knows my weaknesses. He taught me how to control my thoughts

Sand keep a clear mind during the game, which is something that

greatly increased my level of play.
Tell us one thing about yourself that not a lot of people know?
