Sheriffs advise
Halloween safety
Many people view Hallo-
ween as a time for fun and
treats. However in the United
States, roughly two times as
many children ages 5-14 are
killed while walking on
Halloween evening compared
with other evenings of the year,
and falls are a leading cause of
injuries among children.
Parents can help prevent
children from becoming in-
jured on Halloween by follow-
ing these safety tips from the
American Academy of Pedia-
trics, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention and the
National Safety Council.
Children should:
• Go only to well-lit houses
and remain on porches rather
than entering houses.
• Travel in small groups and
be accompanied by an adult.
• Know their phone numbers
and carry a cell phone for an
emergency phone call.
• Carry a note in their pocket
with their name and address.
• Bring treats home before
eating them so parents can
inspect them.
• When using costume
knives and swords, ensure they
are flexible, not rigid or sharp.
When walking in neighbor-
hoods, they should:
• Use flashlights, stay on
sidewalks if available, and
avoid crossing yards.
• Cross streets at the corner,
use crosswalks if available, and
don’t cross between parked
cars.
• Stop at all corners and stay
together in a group before
crossing.
• Wear clothing that is
bright, reflective, and flame
retardant.
• Consider using face paint
instead of masks.
• Avoid wearing hats that
could slide over their eyes.
• Avoid wearing long, baggy,
or loose costumes or oversized
shoes to prevent tripping.
• Always look left, right, and
left again before crossing the
street.
Parents and adults should:
• Supervise the outing for
children under age 12.
• Establish a curfew for older
children.
• Prepare homes for trick-or-
treaters by clearing porches,
lawns, and sidewalks and by
placing decorations away from
doorways and landings.
• Avoid giving choking haz-
ards such as gum, peanuts, hard
candies, or small toys as treats
to young children.
• Inspect all candy before
children eat it.
To ensure the safety of
pedestrian trick-or-treaters,
parents and adults should:
• Make sure children under
age 10 are supervised as they
cross the street.
• Drive slowly.
• Watch for children in the
street and on medians.
• Exit driveways and alley-
ways carefully.
• Have children get out of
cars on the curbside, not the
traffic side.
Following these tips should
help ensure this Halloween is a
safe and fun holiday for every-
one.

Burn season opens, backyard burning allowed
Although Lane Regional
Air
Protection
Agency
(LRAPA) said that the back-
yard burning ban was extend-
ed until Sunday, Nov. 1, the
burn season is now open.
Backyard burning season,
also known as open burning
or outdoor burning, is deter-
mined by the Lane County
Fire Defense Board.
According to Siuslaw
Valley Fire and Rescue Fire
Marshall Sean Barrett, “Burn
season has opened and back-
yard burning is allowed.”
Those allowed to burn in the
SVFR district are required to
have burn permits, obtained at
www.svfr.org or at the main
fire station, 2625 Highway
101.
However, there is no open
burning allowed in the city.
“As always, call 541-997-
1757 each day you want to
burn to make sure it is a burn
day,” Barrett said. “The fires
must be small enough to be out
by 5 p.m. each day.”
He said that longer burns
require a permit from the
LRAPA at www.lrapa.org.
Backyard burning is always
prohibited inside the Eugene
city limits, Florence city limits,
and on properties less than half
an acre inside Springfield city
limits.
Elsewhere in Lane County,
the open burning season will
open through June 15.
Extended dry and hot condi-
tions may continue to keep fire
danger levels high, even with
recent cooler temperatures.
A first offense violation of
LRAPA’s open-burning rules
may result in a $500 fine.
The public can check for
updates by visiting the SVFR
and LRAPA websites or calling
LRAPA at 541-736-1056.
