Candy tampering scares parents
away from traditional Halloween
By Carolyn Lamberaon
Of dw fwnM
Halloween used to be considered a child's
fantasy when thousands of children would scour
their neighborhoods in search of candy and
horrors.
But now. the horror of Halloween may have
become too real for some parents to take. The in
crease of product tampering nationwide has caus
ed parents to re-think the concept of trick-or
treating.
More and more, parents are turning to alter
native Halloween activities to protect their
children, and Christine Donahue, the
Neighborhood Liason for Eugene, feels the
change in attitude is significant.
"Activities at schools and community
centers have become a real trend in the last
several years. People are concerned about
children." Donahue said "They don't like the
idee of their children being out at night, and they
don't like the whole concept of trick-or-treat '
Donahue, who is the parent of two middle
school-aged children, said she will allow them to
trick-or-treat but only at the homes of people she
trusts.
"They'll go to the homes of neighbors and
close friends, then they are planning to go to a
school-sponsored activity." she said.
She said she hasn't noticed a big decline in
the number of trick-or-treaters. but now more
parents are accompanying their children.
Tim Birr, public information officer for the
Eugene Police and Eire Emergency Services
Department, said in the past. Halloween in
Eugene has generally gone unmarred by candy
tampering.
"Frankly in Eugene, the primary hazard is
traffic.” he said. "Often times, them are children
dressed in dark costumes, crossing the streets,
and the worse the weather is. the more dangerous
the situation becomes ”
Birr offered three guidelines for parents who
are allowing their children to trick-or-treat:
• Be sure children are wearing light-colored
costumes. Costumes should be kept short to avoid
tripping, and those wearing loose-flowing
garments should be careful because of the poten
tial fire hazard.
• Parents should be careful of masks that impede
vision. Face paint and make-up can be a safer
alternative.
• Younger children should be taken trick-or
treating in the twilight hours under the supervi
sion of an adult. Also, people are advised only to
give and accept individually wrapped candy.
Birr, who is the father of a three-year-old. is
allowing his daughter to trick-or-treat, but she
also will be staying close to home. "We ll take
her out in the neighborhood." he said. "She carv
ed her pumpkin the other night, and she's very

excited. It would be hard not to let her trick-or
treat.”
In past years, parents could take the collected
candy to area hospitals for a free X-ray scan to
help detect foreign objects, but the, program was
discontinued this year.
Mary Sakakibara, a community relations
assistant for Sacred Heart General Hospital, said
the X-ray is no longer effective because of the in
crease in the chemical tampering of candy, which
an X-ray cannot detect.
She added that Sacred Heart officials have
never found many foreign objects in the candy
brought in to be X-rayed, and there have been few
reported cases of poisoning.
"It's kind, of sad that it's not safe to trick-or
treat anymore. It was when I was a kid," she said.
If parents are afraid to allow children to trick
or-treat. there are various other options for
celebrating Halloween, said Carrie Matsushita of
the Eugene Parks and Recreation Department.
For pre-school-aged children, both the
Amazon and Westmoreland community centers
are offering Halloween activities. Sheldon Com
munity Center is sponsoring a party and a show
ing of "Disney’s Halloween Treat ’ for children
grades one through five. The Westmoreland Corn
