HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS
Costume Safety:
Wear flame retardant costumes and keep your costume and wig away from candles. Review the "stop, drop and roll" procedure in case your costume catches on fire.
Make sure your Halloween costume is colorfast so the color doesn't run onto your other clothes if it rains.
Hem your costumes and double-tie your shoelaces so you don't trip and fall.
Apply reflective tape to your Halloween costumes.
Avoid cumbersome masks. Use make-up instead which should be hypoallergenic and non-toxic.
Wear comfortable, practical shoes.
Don't carry fake swords, guns, knives or similar accessories that look authentic. Make sure they're flexible and cannot harm anyone.
Carry a spare Halloween bag in case yours breaks or you fill your original one.
Trick-or-Treating Tips:
Carry a flashlight with fresh batteries after dark.
Take along money for a phone call.
Wear identification that's easy to read.
Always trick-or-treat in groups, and designate a responsible adult escort.
Follow a curfew and take a watch with a backlight.
Plan your route ahead of time.
Trick or treat in familiar neighbourhoods. Never accept rides from strangers. Report any suspicious or criminal activity to the police.
Only visit well-lit houses. Don't stop at dark houses and don't approach unfamiliar pets and animals.
Don't enter any houses unless you know the people.
Stay on the sidewalks and out of the streets. Cross only at intersections and designated crosswalks. Follow traffic signals and don't jaywalk. Always watch for cars backing up or turning.
Walk and DON'T run. Out of respect, don't trample through neighbourhood flower beds and gardens. Walk with your head up and be aware of your surroundings.
Be polite and say "thank you."
Don't eat any candy until they are inspected for tampering under bright lights by a responsible adult. Avoid candy that has loose wrappings, is unwrapped, has puncture holes, or is homemade.
Small children should not be allowed hard candy they may choke on.

CONGRATULATIONS HALLOWEEN TREAT WINNERS
Halloween is an exuberant time in the community of Cornell each year and now SayItCornell.com's Halloween Treat has come to an end with some success and lots of room to grow! It was an activity designed for quality
time with your families and for your involvement in a community spirit. The Cornell businesses played a role in this activity too – to remind us all that
they
are at our disposal for a multitude of reasons. For example, walking to the variety stores to submit colourings was not only precious time with 'your little artiste' but a time to familiarize all of the contestants with the ever-growing and changing business areas of Cornell. Long-term relationships will only see Cornell thrive into the future.
Congratulations to all the winners, from all of us at SayItCornell.com! Happy Halloween! |

Letter from a resident, your neighbour:
Well my child is only 3, but we had a great time hauling pumpkin goo and carving out our pumpkins (I carved, but I carve like a 9-yr-old). We don't want any prize, but we have decorated our home quite nicely – spookily! – if you wanted to come by and see. My son has put a lot of effort into it (or rather directing me on how to hang the stuff up).
I am very familiar with all of the businesses in Cornell. My son and I go to Cornell Hair. We downloaded the picture and took it to the Hasty Mart to enter him in the contest...on our way to the coffee shop for a hot chocolate. I make use of all the wonderful stores here in Cornell.
We are on Colchester and if you have time, we would love to have you drop by and see our decorations – if you come on Halloween night, you might also get a treat!
Thank you,
Lee Neiman |

FAMILY PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST WINNER
Congratulations to the Torrington Family for entering Cornell's first Family Pumpkin Carving Contest!
There was a lot of interest in this contest. We received many emails and a lot of face-to-face questions about it. In the end, we realized that there were just "not enough families in Cornell" – laughs! – and by default, the Torringtons won! It was a tough one to select this winner, sheesh! Ha! Let's stiffen up the competition for next year, eh, but who can top the barfing pumpkin? Enjoy reading the Harry Potter books, guys!
