Good

A Covedale dentist has created the Nov. 1 “candy buyback,” cincinnati.com reported Sept. 30. After buying back area children’s Halloween candy for one dollar per pound, the dentist plans to send the candy to U.S. soldiers stationed in Iraq in an effort to help lift the soldiers’ spirits.

Bad

Almost one-fourth of Cincinnati public school bus drivers have been arrested, wcpo.com reported Sept. 29. Since 1991, 111 out of 458 bus drivers have been arrested. Although none of the charges were felonies, they ranged from drunken driving and drug charges to domestic violence.

Weird
