Keep children safe during holidays
Holidays bring with them a
greater risk of accidents involv
ing children. At home, decora
tions change the normal place
ment of furniture. Between
shopping and visiting friends
and relatives, many families
spend more time on the road.
And, of course, holidays are a
time to host or attend social
gatherings.
' 'If you have children, it pays
to give advance consideration
to their safety to ensure your
holidays are happy," says
Carol Michael-Bennett, Oregon
State University Extension
home economist in Morrow

County.
Michael-Bennett suggests
these safety tips to help make
sure the whole family has an
enjoyable holiday season:
Travel-do not forget such
basic items as syrup of Ipecac
and prescribed medicines.
Many homes and hotel rooms
are not child-proofed. Be sure
to pack necessary items, such
as electrical outlet covers and
gates. Use infant carseats, do
not substitute an infant carrier.
When using the carseat outside
the car, keep an eye on infants
who can tip over the seat and
hurt themselves. If traveling on
an airplane, check with airlines
to see if carseats meet regula
tions. As in a car, it is difficult
to hold a baby safely in an air
plane. If possible, keep your
baby strapped into a carseat
that is belted in the airplane
seat.
Shopping-when shopping,

bring in the New Year.
Teams are arranged by
graduating years. Starting this
year there will not be a separate
non-lettering team. Those
players may play on their
graduating class' team.
Teams and team captains are
as follows: 1994-95-captain
unavailable at presstim e;
'92-93-Jason Britt; '90-91-Slater
M itchell and Bob Krein;
'82-89-Dick Devin; '77-81-Dave
Allstott; '73-76 Ken Eckman;
'72 and before-Steve Rhea and
Gene Heliker. A team compris
ed of community members will
also be included in the bracket.
Women's team captains are
Dana Reid, Missy Cutsforth
and Amy Greenup.
Those who wish to play but
have not been contacted should
call their team captain or Dana
Reid. Any questions regarding
volleyball should be directed to
Molly Rhea.
"The Alumni Association
would like to encourage every
one to come watch some ex
citing basketball action, catch
up with old friends and sup
port future Heppner athletes
and scholars," said Rhea.
Admission is $3 for adults
and $1 for students high school
age and younger. Family tour
nament passes will be available
for $15.
keep a close eye on your child
ren. During the holidays, park
ing lots and stores are busier
and more crowded. Strap
young children into shopping
carts and keep the cart next to
you. Do not let your children
grab dangerous or heavy items
off shelves or pick them from
the shopping cart or off the
floor. Try to shop without the
children when possible.
Gifts-be sure that gifts for
children are appropriate for
their age. Do not expect them
to grow into a toy that is in
tended for an older child. If
your five-year-old still puts
everything in his mouth, follow
the guidelines for three-year-
olds in terms of toy purchases.
Read the information about art
supplies and follow the manu
facturer's guidelines. House
hold batteries should be install
ed by adults.
Preventions-keep children
away from lighted candles and
candles away from dry boughs
and tables that tip. Be sure
children stay away from fires in
the fireplace and keep fires
screened. Be aware of hot
stoves and ovens. Keep pan
handles turned away from the
front of the stove to avoid hot
spills.
Poisonous plants and other
decorations-mistletoe, holly
berries, poinsettias and other
holiday plants are poisonous.
Keep the poison control phone
number and syrup of Ipecac at
hand. Watch children around
decorations, ribbon, plastic
bags, aluminum wrapping
paper and so on.
Adult precautions-avoid ex
cessive alcohol use and get
enough sleep so you can drive
and care for children safely.
One holiday hazard is thinking
there are so many adults
around that someone else is
watching the children. Be sure
someone always takes respon
sibility for each child at a par
ticular time.
