Digital Photo Tips

ORANGE Reserve, Fla. — Investigators had more than a thousand tips but are still trying to figure out what happened when 7-year-old Somer Thompson disappeared on her promenade home from a north Florida school last week.

At a fundraiser Sunday for Somer's family, children played in a vault house as adults watched carefully. They vowed to find the girl's killer and raised about $18,500 so her nurse doesn't have to go back to work immediately.

Somer's name and photo were everywhere at the carnival-like fundraiser, which was held in a tree-lined estate in the town's center. A silent raffle, a bake sale and even glittery makeovers for little girls were offered to assist the family after the girl went missing after school Monday. Her body was found in a Georgia landfill Wednesday.

"I've been crying since day one," said Amanda Wendorff, a co-organizer of the fundraiser. "When it's a youngster, it just touches a community."

Wendorff, the wife of a Clay County Sheriff's deputy, has four children of her own. She urged people at the carnival to be on the problem for anyone suspicious — underscoring the fear that is running deep in the community.

PICTOU � Pictou RCMP Const. Matthew Perry will do almost anything to assist Halloween safety.

That includes handcuffing a detachment co-worker dressed as the notorious Jason from the Friday The 13th dismay series in the hopes the prank will catch the attention of potential trick-or-treaters.

"They�ll hopefully see the photo and then comprehend the safety tips," Const. Perry said as photos were taken of the mock arrest.

The person behind the bad Jason hockey mask did not want to be identified.

Const. Perry drew the line at allowing the Jason cove to be photographed carrying a large, blood-encrusted knife.

Leaving weapons at home is fair one of the safety tips the officer wants kids to observe.

Face paint is better than a mask like the one Jason has because it allows sleight of hand-or-treaters to see where they are going.

Light-coloured costumes, flashlights, reflective strips and staying in well-lit areas are other tips the RCMP commend as Halloween approaches.
