Biting dogs are a danger all year but the danger is far more prevalent during warm weather — especially for your letter carrier.

More doors are open — more pets are outside — conditions are just “right” for dogs to put in for the neighborhood menace award by ripping away at the nearest postal uniform...and the carrier who is wearing it.

It’s serious but the problem is not the dogs. It’s the owners who neglect to control their pets. And it’s not just big dogs. The little ones can do a lot of damage too.

To see how serious the dog-bite problem is to the Postal Service, just take a look at these statistics:

Somewhere in the country, every minute, a dog bites somebody. The “somebody” most often is your friendly neighborhood letter carrier, who just wants to get the job done and walk away in one piece. Nationally, USPS employees suffered 2613 dog bites and attacks last year. Already this year there have been 1005 bites and attacks.

What can you do, as a customer and a pet owner? Plenty!

• Recognize that you are the key person responsible for controlling your pet.
• Teach each of your family members what they can do to help prevent dog bites.
• Make a commitment to control your pet.
• Let your letter carrier know you are taking action to protect him or her against bites.

Not only does the law require it, so does the Postal Service. Failure to control your pet can result in loss of delivery service!

But more than that: you owe it to yourself, and to your pet, to prevent the pain, lost work time, and general hassle that follows when your dog takes advantage of summer dog days (or any other days) to harm a letter carrier who is trying to perform a service to your household.

Keep your pet leashed, fenced, or confined.

Chronicles Of A Serial killer is based on a different number of serial killers. It begins with the serial killer (Raymond Carl Edwards) writing in his diary, confessing too all of his murders, then he commits suicide and the movie starts out five years earlier depicting his ruthless crimes. 

This is an Eerie Frequency production and I'm currently assembling my crew and I'm also looking for people at the casting call who are interested in working with my crew for future projects. Some of my crew includes Travis Bowen (Co-owner of Eerie Frequency Entertainment & Director of The Girl) , Danielle Fife (Heather in Night Of The Cannibals) for casting director/still photographer, Jim Danko (Director of Hatchet Man Road, coming this summer), Tony Sperry, Daniel Click and Greg Lanning (GD Effects),   as my special effects makeup artists, and Matt Jefferson (The Girl, Night Of The Cannibals) for my lighting and other makeup effects.

Teachers can leave their lesson plans behind, but are invited to bring their tax receipts and information into Liberty Tax Service offices during “Educator Appreciation Days.”  The company is saluting area teachers, all school employees and bus drivers by offering them free tax preparation if they are new customers from February 27th – March 4th at participating Liberty Tax offices. 

“Employees of our education systems deserve a tax break,” said Amanda Dempsey, Franchisee, of Liberty Tax Service. “We have ‘Appreciation Days’ to show our respect for the teaching profession and those employed by the schools.  They have one of the most important jobs of all.”

Eligible educators who spend their own money on classroom supplies may again qualify for a tax break in 2011.  An eligible educator is a kindergarten through grade 12 teacher, instructor, counselor, principal or aide who works at least 900 hours in either a public or private school. The adjustment for these expenses, of no more than $250, can be claimed whether or not the taxpayer can itemize.

There are over 30 Liberty Tax Service locations in Northeast Ohio. To be directly connected with the nearest one, call 866-871-1040 or visit our website at libertytaxservice.com.
