Halloween Safety Tips

In an effort to prepare for a safe Halloween, here are some safety tips for parents and children:


• Encourage children to trick-or-treat before dark. After dark, an adult chaperone should carry a flashlight and choose well-lighted streets.

• Wear costumes that are short, snug and flame retardant. Flowing sleeves, capes and skirts can cause children to trip and can catch fire if they brush against candle flames. Also be sure to wear light colors or reflective tape.

• Avoid masks that can obstruct vision. Use face paint instead or make sure mask eye holes are wide enough.

• Discourage the use of fake knives, guns and swords, as they may result in aggressive behavior. If these types of props are used, be sure they are made of flexible materials such as foam or rubber.

• Stay in groups while trick-or-treating and make sure young children always are accompanied by adults.

• Teach children that they should NEVER go into a stranger’s home or car.

• Eat dinner before trick-or-treating to prevent the urge to eat treats before they have been inspected by parents. Never eat treats that have been opened.

• Leave porch or other outside lights on to make clear that trick-or-treaters are welcome.

A "Community Garden" at Hearthstone?

Recently, Kevin Harding and Terry Messick, when asked about this, indicated they would consider setting aside a small plot of land for those of us interested in tending a small flower or vegetable garden.

Hearthstone resident Bob Connelly is willing to head up a committee to organize the “Hearthstone Community Garden” So, if you miss having your own plot of land to grow flowers or food for your table email him at bobconnelly@inbox.com (Please put “Hearthstone Community Garden” in the Subject line of your email so your message doesn't end up in his spam folder.)

Bob is not a gardener himself, but thinks a Community Garden would be a nice addition to our neighborhood and probably help sell a few more homes. He will arrange a meeting where we can meet and discuss our Community Garden.

What is a Community Garden? Very simply, it is any piece of land gardened by a group of people!

What are Benefits of Community Gardens?

-Improves the quality of life for people in the garden
-Provides a catalyst for neighborhood and community development
-Stimulates Social Interaction
-Encourages Self-Reliance
-Beautifies Neighborhoods
-Produces Nutritious Food
-Reduces Family Food Budgets
-Conserves Resources
-Creates opportunity for recreation, exercise, therapy, and education
-Reduces Crime
-Preserves Green Space
-Creates income opportunities and economic development
-Reduces city heat from streets and parking lots
-Provides opportunities for intergenerational and cross-cultural connections

So, if you think this is something you would like to see in our neighborhood and you want to participate please contact Bob and
let's plant some seeds!
