Danvers, Mass., is two towns away from where I grew up. I used to shop at the mall there. We played Danvers in football. I went to camp in Danvers. If you’d asked me yesterday or the day before whether Danvers was a scary town, I would have laughed. Danvers? I live in Los Angeles. In Danvers, kids still ride their bikes at night. Danvers should be safe. And I always thought it was — until I read about the mur- der of math teacher Colleen Ritzer, original- ly from Andover, one more town away, and only a year older than my daughter. The alleged murderer was arraigned in the First District Court of Essex County. When I was a kid, my first job was at the Essex County Registry of Deeds, right next door to the courthouse, and for “fun” (would-be lawyer that I was), I used to go over at lunch and sit in on the trials. There was one family murder, but I never sat in on a case like this. Things like this didn’t happen in Salem or Public Forum Danvers or Andover. Until they did.

A6• The World • Wednesday, October 30,2013 DILBERT Holiday gift guide for kids ages 3 to 7 My husband and I have done our best to buy toys for our grandson Eli, age 4, since FRANK AND ERNEST the day he was born. We buy toys that will spark his curiosity, challenge his mind and prompt him to love learning. EVERYDAY The more he learns, CHEAPSKATE the more fun we have, and the more fun we have, the THE BORN LOSER more Eli learns. That’s what I Mary call a Hunt win- win! With Christmas only weeks away, you may be wondering what gifts will spark the joy of learning in the children and grandchildren in your life this ZITS Holiday Season. Eli and I had fun coming up with the fol- lowing gift guide for kids ages 3 to 7 — toys that are really fun to play with, and that educate too. (For your convenience, I have posted pictures and resources for each of these toys at EverydayCheapskate.com/ki dgifts). ■ Schleich Animals. Made of solid soft plastic, these CLASSIC PEANUTS animals are incredibly detailed and beautifully made. These animals are so lifelike, yet designed for small hands and rough play. The attention to detail is THE FAMILY CIRCUS exceeded only by the reason- able price point. With each addition to his collection, Eli learns all about that particu- lar animal’s natural habitat, what it eats, how it raises its babies plus a few fun, if not silly, facts. Check out the FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE entire collection to see just how beautiful these animals are. ■ LeapPad. This adorable learning tablet from the folks at LeapFrog is like candy to a kid who loves to learn and is not intimidated by electron- ics. Eli received a LeapPad 2 for his birthday and what a great toy it is with five apps included and 4GB for limit- less learning fun! ROSE IS ROSE ■ Art Desk and chair. This sturdy art desk and cute matching chair is just packed with cool features. It has a large work surface. The hinged desktop compartment doubles as a white board. There are two large storage compartments on the sides for coloring books and paper and plenty of room to store markers, paints, crayons and pencils. The push-button LUANN battery-operated task light is an unexpected fun feature. Requires assembly but don’t worry, it’s easy. ■ Razor (a Kick Scooter). This kick scooter is just the best ride for beginners. We love the way it gets a kid onto wheels without the experi- ence being too scary. And storage is a cinch because this scooter folds up to fit into a handy bag. ■ Cash Register. Eli and I GRIZZWELLS spend endless hours playing zoo, toy store, mall and gro- cery store. And what better way to learn about money and math than with a great cash register? The Learning Resources Pretend & Play Calculator Cash Register is quite lifelike, comes with a good supply of pretend money (the credit card for ours has mysteriously disap- peared). It is solar-powered with LCD display. ■ USA Map Puzzle. This beautiful wooden puzzle map is so much fun and for the MODERATELY CONFUSED KIT ’N’ CARLYLE HERMAN younger set, somewhat chal- lenging. But that’s a good stretch for a young mind! And once the placement comes easy, you can add the capital city and other facts for each state. Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
