Dear Tran,
Thank you to everybody that came out for the 3rd Annual Spooky Halloween & Haunted House event last Saturday at the Berryessa Youth Center. Attendees were able to enjoy a spooky haunted house, a great costume contest, and resource tables that provided information on how to have a safe Halloween. If you took a photo at the event and didn't get to pick it up, you can pick up the photo at the Berryessa Youth Center during normal business hours. You can also retrieve your photo online at:
I hope you will be able to enjoy a fun and spooky Halloween next Thursday. I want to offer these Halloween Safety Tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP):
- Plan costumes that are bright and reflective; shoes that fit well; costumes short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement, or contact with fire. Consider reflective tape or striping on the costumes.
- Because masks can limit or block eyesight, consider non-toxic makeup or decorative hats as safer alternatives.
- When shopping for costumes, purchase wigs and accessories labelled flame resistant.
- If a sword, cane, or stick is part of your child's costume, make sure it is not sharp or too long.
- Obtain a flashlight with fresh batteries.
- Do not use decorative contact lenses without an eye examination and a prescription from an eye care professional. While the packaging on decorative lenses will often make claims such as "one size fits all," and "no need to see an eye specialist," obtaining decorative contact lenses without prescription is both dangerous and illegal. This can cause pain, inflammation, and serious eye disorders and infections, which may lead to permanent vision loss.
- Teach children to call 9-1-1 if they have an emergency or become lost.
- Small Children should never carve pumpkins; children can draw the face with markers and parents can then do the cutting. Consider placing a flashlight or glow stick instead of a candle inside the pumpkin; if you do use a candle, votive candles are safest. Candlelit pumpkins should be placed on a sturdy table, away from curtains and other flammable object, and should never be left unattended.
- To keep trick-or-treaters safe, parents should remove items from the porch or front yard that a child could trip on (e.g. garden hoses, toys, bikes, and lawn decorations); check outdoor lights and replace burnt bulbs; and restrain pets so they do not inadvertently jump on or bite a trick-or-treaters.
- A parent or responsible adult should accompany young children who are trick-or-treating. Review the planned route with older children and agree on a specific time to return home.
-Only trick-or-treat at homes with a porch light on and never enter a home or car for a treat.
- Stay in a group and communicate where they will be going.
- Carry a cellphone, remain on well-lit streets and sidewalks, never cut across yard or use alleys, only cross in groups and at crosswalks, do not assume the right of way.
- Inform law enforcement authorities immediately of any suspicious or unlawful activity.
- A good meal prior to parties or trick-or-treating will discourage children from filling up with Halloween treats, consider purchasing non-foot treats for trick-or-treaters visiting your home (e.g. coloring books or pens and pencils); try to ration treats for days following Halloween.
- Wait until children are home to sort and check treats. Though tampering is rare, a responsible adult should closely examine all treats and throw away any spoiled, unwrapped, or suspicious items.
