Halloween Safety Tips

With witches, goblins and superheroes soon to descend on neighborhoods across America, the American Red Cross offers some safety tips to help children have a safe and enjoyable trick-or- treat holiday.

Halloween should be filled with surprise and wonderment, and following some common sense practices can make events safe and fun.

  • Walk on sidewalks, not in the street
  • Look both ways before crossing the street
  • Cross the street only at corners
  • Don't hide between or cross the street between parked cars
  • Wear light colored or reflective-type clothing so you are more visible
  • Plan your route and share it with your family. If possible, have an adult go with you
  • Carry a flashlight to light your way
  • Keep away from open fires and candles: Costumes can be extremely flammable
  • Visit homes that have porch lights on
  • Accept your treats at the door and never go into a stranger's house
  • Use face paint rather than masks that will impair your vision
  • Be cautious of animals and strangers
  • Have a grown-up inspect your treats before you eat them
  • Don't eat candy if the package is already opened
  • Remember, small, hard pieces of candy are a choking hazard for young children

Go back to the totally awesome '80s this weekend [things to do]

80s fashionista

"Back to the '80s," an area premiere, opens Friday, Nov. 6, for three weekends in Kettering. The retro show is an account of 1989 high school senior class, as recalled by a man in his 30s. Unrequited love, popularity (and its opposite), a debate about CDs replacing cassette tapes, student elections, a stolen speech, new kids in school and an English teacher in a magazine centerfold are among the plot lines. There are 20 songs, including "Footloose," "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "You Give Love a Bad Name." Like, totally awesome! » More

Other shows:

"Man of La Mancha"
