Mr. Hawley said, “We were<br />
proud to partner with the<br />

event at Bright Meadows<br />
Park. It is no secret that Bright<br />
Meadows is one of our most<br />
frequented parks, thanks in<br />
large part to the efforts of park<br />
steward Joe Rettig. We look<br />
forward to partnering with the<br />
Dearborn County Recycling<br />

I’m always amazed when<br />
people stop me and tell me<br />
that they read my column.<br />
I thank everyone who takes<br />
time to read it. I’ve been writing<br />
the Bright Community<br />
article for several years, and I<br />
have enjoyed it very much. It<br />
is with bitter-sweet emotions<br />
I am passing the baton. Next<br />
month you will enjoy another<br />
writer with a fresh, new outlook<br />
for the Bright column. I<br />
expect you all will continue<br />
to enjoy reading about Bright<br />
news. I’m sure I will too.<br />
Editor’s note- We thank<br />
Debbie for her years of sharing<br />
Bright’s stories. We wish<br />
her much happiness as she<br />
spends time with her family<br />
and at At the Barn Winery.<br />

Fall is officially days away,<br />
folks! Grab those hoodies,<br />
cook chili, rake a pile of<br />
leaves for the kiddos, watch<br />
some football, and get the<br />
blankets out. Time for cozy<br />
clothes! I hope everyone is<br />
planning to attend the HVL<br />
Haunted Hayride on Oct. 12.<br />
It is the biggest fundraiser of<br />
the year for the Children’s<br />
Activity Committee and a<br />
huge night for residents who<br />
participate on the route. Our<br />
incredible volunteers make<br />
this event possible. The most<br />
important component of the<br />
evening is having enough<br />
drivers and trailers. If you<br />
would like to help, please<br />

Let’s make<br />
this the best year yet!<br />
One of our own is undoubtedly<br />

age 13, noticed something<br />
Noah Schneider<br />
odd in the<br />
woods as his<br />
family drove<br />
by some<br />
woods near<br />
HVL. When<br />
returning<br />
home later<br />
that evening,<br />
Noah again<br />
noticed<br />

his family to stop and take a<br />
look. That “something” turned<br />

out to be a wrecked car. The<br />
driver, Daniel Miles, had been<br />
trapped inside for eleven<br />
hours! HVL honored Noah<br />
and presented him with a<br />

Our hat is off to Noah<br />
and his family for saving Mr.<br />
Miles and being heroes in our<br />
