The Munster Police Department encourages residents to read through these important safety tips to help prevent accidents involving children and guns

At our Munster elementary schools, one of our Munster Police Department school resource officers and/or staff will often see children getting into or out of the front seat of vehicles that are either dropping off or picking up the student. Allowing small children to sit in the front seat can be extremely dangerous.

**** Recommended   Is "What the Constitution Means to Me" a civics lesson disguised as a play?  Could be! Playwright Heidi Schreck might be one of the few people who’ve actually read the Constitution.  In fact, she not only read it, she memorized parts of it, and now she’s written a charming play more or less about the Constitution.  Audiences at the Copley Theater are now enjoying that play.  Cory Goodrich, who plays Schreck, brings her own warmth and charm to the part.  4 Spotlights  

*** Recommended   "Sanctuary City", an angst-filled drama, was just not my cup of tea. I really didn’t like the stop-action staging, on an empty stage, often repeating the same line of dialogue over and over again in different areas on the stage.  I found it distracting, making it difficult to concentrate on what the actors were saying, which meant I didn’t/couldn’t empathize with them.  I ended up thinking B was whiny, G was mean.  3 Spotlights

**** Recommended   The Drama Group production of "The Addams Family" is fun, fun, fun!  Audiences are loving the show!  The talented cast has totally embraced the Addams zaniness.  Director Tyler McMahon has the cast playing these already over-the-top characters relatively straight, adding to the crazy!  The costumes are spot-on, the set is equipped with all the latest torture devices – and a hidden passage or two.  Throw in a disembodied hand, swash-buckling swordsmanship and a taste of tango and you have the recipe for an Addams hit.  A tiny warning, you’ll only hear that signature Addams finger snap in the overture.  4 Spotlights
