2. Lewiston’s Peter Geiger is keeping his sweet Halloween tradition alive — handing out 10,000 full-size candy bars to kids. The event runs from 4:30 to 8:30 tonight at 70 Mount Hope Avenue. This year’s secret password is “Being Kind Is Cool.” Say it, and you’ll score three full-size bars — and a few lucky visitors could even win a five-pound Hershey bar. (WGME)

Supporters say sticking with daylight saving could cut crime, reduce crashes, and even boost overall health. (AP)
4. Dictionary.com has picked “67” as its 2025 Word of the Year. The slang term, popular with Gen Alpha, doesn’t have a set meaning — it’s more of a vibe. It started from a song by rapper Skrilla, blew up on social media, and even made it into South Park. (CBS)
