"Halloween should be filled with surprise and enjoyment and follow- ing some common-sense practices can keep events safer and more fun," said Sheriff Norman of Cleveland County. The Sheriff reminds all Cleveland County residents to follow these safety tips: COVID-19: • Follow State and County health policies. • Limit participating in traditional trick-or-treating where treats are handed to children who go door to door. • Halloween costume masks are not suitable to provide COVID-19 protec- tion. • Promote the use of hand sanitizer by trick-or-treaters and their families. • Announce if there are any curfews in place. • Encourage social dis- tancing. • Decline having trunk- or-treat where treats are handed out from trunks of cars lined up in large park- ing lots. • Do not attend crowded costume parties held in- doors. • Avoid going to an in- door haunted house where people may be crowded to- gether and screaming. • Discourage going on hayrides or tractor rides with people who are not in your household. Motorists: • Watch for children dart- ing out from between parked cars. • Watch for children walk- ing on roadways, medians and curbs. • Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully. • At twilight and later in the evening, watch for chil- dren in dark clothing. Parents: • Make sure that an adult or an older responsible youth will be supervising the outing for children under age 12. • Check the sex offender registry at www.ncdoj.gov when planning your child's trick-or-treat route. You can view maps that pinpoint reg- istered offenders' addresses in your neighborhood and sign up to get email alerts when an offender moves nearby. • Plan and discuss the route trick-or-treaters intend to follow. Know the names of older children's compan- ions. • Instruct your children to travel only in familiar areas and along an established route. • Teach your children to stop only at houses or apartment buildings that are well-lit and never to enter a stranger's home. • Establish a return time. • Tell your youngsters not to eat any treats until they return home. • Review all appropriate trick-or-treat safety precau- tions, including pedestrian/ traffic safety rules. • All children need to know their home telephone number and how to call 9-1-1 in case of emergency. • Pin a slip of paper with the child's name, address, and telephone number in- side a pocket in case the youngster gets separated from the group. • Costume Design: • Only fire-retardant ma- terials should be used for costumes. • Costumes should be loose so warm clothes can be worn underneath. • Costumes should not be so long that they are a trip- ping hazard. • Make sure that shoes fit well to prevent trips and falls. • If children are allowed out after dark, outfits should be made with light colored materials. Strips of retro-re- flective tape should be used to make children visible. Face Design: • When buying special Halloween makeup, check for packages containing in- gredients that are labeled "Made with U.S. Approved Color Additives," "Labora- tory Tested," "Meets Federal Standards for Cosmetics," or "Non-Toxic." Follow manu- facturer's instruction for ap- plication. Accessories: • Knives, swords, and other accessories should be made from cardboard or flexible materials. Do not allow children to carry sharp objects. • Bags or sacks carried by youngsters should be light-colored or trimmed with retro-reflective tape if chil- dren are allowed out after dark. • Carrying flashlights with fresh batteries will help chil- dren see better and be seen more clearly. While Trick-or-Treating: • Do not enter homes or apartments without adult su- pervision. • Walk; do not run, from house to house. Do not cross yards and lawns where unseen objects or the uneven terrain can present tripping hazards. • Walk on sidewalks, not in the street. • Walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic, if there are no sidewalks. Treats: • Give children an early meal before going out. • Insist that treats be brought home for inspection before anything is eaten. • Wash fruit and slice it into small pieces. • Throw away any candy that is unwrapped or partially wrapped or has a strange odor, color, or texture. Homeowners/Decora- tions: • Keep candles and Jack O' Lanterns away from land- ings and doorsteps where costumes could brush against the flame. • Remove obstacles from lawns, steps, and porches when expecting trick-or- treaters. • Keep candles and Jack O' Lanterns away from cur- tains, decorations, and other combustibles that could catch fire. • Do not leave your house unattended. "Halloween is a fun time in Cleveland County," Sheriff Norman concluded, "but let's make it a safe time as well. The major dangers are not from witches or spirits but rather from falls and pedes- trian/car crashes. " Sheriff Norman offers safety tips for Halloween SHERIFF NORMAN By Libby Putnam, Chapter Regent The National Society Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution recently celebrated the National DAR Day of Service on October 11. Each year the Day of Service honors the anniversary of the found- ing of the DAR on October 11, 1890 in Washington, D.C. Chapters and individu- als are encouraged to engage in meaningful ser- vice projects in their com- munities each year at this time. This year the mem- bers of the Col. Frederick Hambright Chapter DAR donated bags of treats to the workers at Summit Place, White Oak Manor, and the Hospice House in honor of service to their residents. The Daughters of the American Revolution is a society founded on ser- vice and DAR members across the country have logged almost 2 million hours of Service to Amer- ica hours this year.
