If you're not wearing light col ors, attach reflective tape to your clothes. Make a map of your trick-or-trcating route, and make sure that someone knows exactly where you're going and when you will be back. This applies to every person going trick-or-treating, no matter what your age. Carry a flashlight (make sure the batteries are good and the flashlight is on.) Use sidewalks. If there are none, stay as close to the edge of the road as possible. Make sure that you can see cars and they can see you. Stay away from neighborhoods and houses that are not well lit. Do not eat anything in your treat bag until it has been thoroughly checked out by a responsible adult, and never eat candy or gum that has been unwrapped. If you put a candle in a jack O' lantern, place it away from anything that can catch on fire. Have fun and be courteous. Seasons Change Back to school and fall weather. . .change is in the air. It's getting cooler, and the days are getting shorter. All of these things make an impact on our families. How can we deal with the changes and the new routines? By planning and making sure that our families are ready for the cooler weather with: Warm clothes and shoes, Weatherized homes (seal door and window frames, window cover ings, etc. with weatherized sealant), I Icating systems that work and are safe (clear vents and baseboard heaters, no free-standing heaters or kerosene heaters), Clean chimneys and stoves, Good supplies of fire wood or pellets, And money set aside to pay the heating bill. Also, remember that your little ones will be spending more time in doors. So, it's important to have a space in your home where they can play safely. Keep in mind that even in cooler weather children have lots of energy to burn, so they need a va riety of safe activities as a part of their daily routines. Applications We are still accepting applica tions for pregnant women and fami lies with children ages 0 to 3 years. If interested please call 553-3241 and ask for June. She will gladly answer any questions that you may have. Playground Safety Playgrounds are fun places for kids and parents, but they should also be safe. Knowing the following in formation can help you make your child's playground experiences safe. Always supervise your child. Dress your child in comfortable, safe clothing no drawstrings, san dals, dress shoes, etc. Use sunscreen regularly. Do not play on wet (slippery) equipment and be aware that equip ment can be very hot on sunny days. Children 5 years old and younger should not play on equip ment, which is taller than 4 feet. All equipment should be sur rounded by "fall zones" of wood chips, sand, pea gravel, rubber, or other shock absorbing material. Gen erally, the fall zones should extend at least 6 feet in all directions from each playground structure, and there should be at least 12 feet of space between each structure. Open spaces of equipment should be smaller than 3 ' inches and larger than 9 inches to prevent a child's head from being trapped. For children under 5, structures taller than 20 inches must have guard rails. For older kids, equipment over 30 inches tall must have guardrails. Kids should be taught to go down slides one at a time in a seated position and that swing and seesaw seats are meant to hold just one per son at a time. Sandboxes should be covered when not in use and should only con tain sand sold specifically for use on playgrounds (other types of sand may contain contaminants such as asbes tos). Avoid glider swings and mul tiple seats, animal swings, free-hanging ropes, and gymnastic-type exer cise rings. Also watch out for equipment with sharp edges, loose parts, splin ters, rust, open "S" hooks, and bolts that stick out more than 2 threads. .
