Give military a Halloween this season - by Monica


Tomorrow is Halloween (or for me, I celebrated Halloween the last two days and will spend Halloween night working, but that's beside the point). For kids though, that means one thing...candy.

For dentists though it means another thing...cavities.

But Waterford Township dentist Kurt Heuerman wants to put good use to the extra candy that kids are bound to get (instead of stuffing it in their faces to the point of throwing up).

If you have extra candy, Heuerman will give you $2 for every pound of candy and will donate this candy to the military who won't get a Halloween at all this year. So then the men and women overseas who don't get to celebrate with their children can at least eat a Hershey bar and think of home.

From 4 to 6 p.m. on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2, the dentist office will be accepting unopened candy to send overseas. The office is at 4450 Walton Blvd. in Waterford Township. Call 248-674-0495 or visit www.thewaterforddentist.com.
