Halloween Safety Tips 

Walk Safely: Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. 

Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross. Put 

electronic devices down and keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street. 

Teach children to make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them. 

Always walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as 

far to the left as possible. Children should walk on direct routes with the fewest 

street crossings. Watch for cars that are turning or backing up. Teach children to 

never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars. 

Trick or Treat with an Adult: Children under the age of 12 should not be alone 

at night without adult supervision. If kids are mature enough to be out without 

supervision, they should stick to familiar areas that are well lit and trick-or-treat 

in groups. 

Keep Costumes Both Creative and Safe: Decorate costumes and bags with 

reflective tape or stickers and if possible, choose light colors. Choose face paint 

and makeup whenever possible instead of masks, which can obstruct a child’s 

vision. Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by 

drivers. When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips 

and falls. 

Drive Extra Safely on Halloween: Slow down and be especially alert in residential 

neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable 

ways. Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs. 

Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully. Eliminate any distractions 

inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings. Drive 

slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic and turn your headlights on earlier in the 

day to spot children from greater distances. Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 

PM to 9:30 PM so be especially alert for kids during those hours.

October is National Protect 

Your Hearing Month 

October is National Protect Your Hearing month. More than 36 million 

Americans suffer from some type of hearing loss. Contrary to what many 

people think, this isn’t an issue just for the older adult population: half of 

hearing loss sufferers in America are younger than 65. Let’s take a closer 

look at the causes of hearing loss and how to be proactive in protecting 

and preserving your hearing. 

Types of Hearing Loss 

There are three types of hearing loss. Aging is the reason most of us think 

of first. Hearing loss can also be caused by illness. Noise-induced hearing 

loss (NIHL) is the third type of hearing loss and it’s on the rise in America. 

We are exposed to more noise than ever before. This doesn’t mean, 

though, that hearing loss is inevitable. Hearing care and examinations at 

a hearing clinic can help protect your hearing and prevent hearing loss 

due to excessive noise. 

How We Hear 

How do we hear? The outer part of our ear acts as a funnel, channeling 

sound waves into the ear canal. There, they vibrate the ear drum and 

pass through to the middle ear. Within the middle ear are the three 

smallest bones in the human body. These tiny bones are responsible for 

amplifying the sounds waves before they move to the inner ear. This part 

of the ear is related to balance. The middle ear also contains microscopic 

hairs that, when vibrated, trigger the electrical impulses that are then 

sent to the brain from the auditory nerve, allowing us to hear. 

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss 

Noise-induced hearing loss happens with prolonged exposure to noise 

levels at 85 decibels or higher. When the tiny hairs in our ear canal are 

exposed to this level of noise over time, these hairs can become damaged. 

This damage is permanent. You might be surprised to find out that many 

noise sources that we encounter in our daily lives measure higher than 85 

decibels - the threshold at which noise levels start to become damaging 

to the ears. 

Hair dryers and ambulances are two such examples. Music concerts 

and sporting events also have noise levels above 85db. Does this mean 

drying your hair occasionally or going to a few football games will lead 

to hearing loss? Not necessarily. It’s important to talk to a trained and 

licensed audiologist and get a hearing assessment to make sure you’re 

doing what you can to prevent noise-induced hearing loss. 

How an Audiologist Can Help 

An audiologist is a state-licensed health care professional that holds a 

master’s or doctorate degree from an accredited university. Audiologists 

don’t just fit hearing aids or deal with a patients’ hearing loss after the 

fact - though this is an important part of their work. Audiologists are also 

able to design and implement a plan for you to prevent noise-induced 

hearing loss in the first place. 

Take steps this October to better protect your hearing. Get to know your 

audiologist and schedule a hearing assessment. If you are someone who 

is regularly subject to excessive noise levels, an audiologist can work 

with you to prevent permanent hearing damage.

Gardening Tips For October 

• Dig and store caladiums before the foliage dies. Allow the bulbs to dry in the 

shade, shake off the dried soil and dust with sulphur to control fungus. Store by 

hanging in open mesh bags or old panty hose. 

• Flowers planted for spring can begin when the temperatures are going to stay 

cooler. Shrubs and trees can be planted now. Woody plants concentrate on root 

growth through the winter and the more headstart they can get before summer, 

the better. 

• October 15th is about the time for dividing and planting daylilies. 

• Watch out for brown patch in St. Augustine grass. These circular brown patches 

are caused by a fungus that is activated by moist cool weather. Control with 

Daconil. 

• If you need to do any pruning, do it early in the month. The re-growth stimulated 

by pruning needs to harden off before that odd-ball frost of Halloween. Prune 

fruit trees when leaves begin to fall. Remove all dead, weak and over-crowded 

growth. Tip back main branches to control size and shape. Spray w/dormant oil 

when temperature is between 30-60 degrees. 

• Cut back tops of perennials after they have bloomed. Divide roots and transplant 

anytime from now until March, the earlier the better. 

• Get the ant baits down. This will greatly reduce your spring populations. 

• Clover left over from last year may be growing. It’s best to hit it with the postemerge 

herbicides in October and November. At least two applications are usually 

needed, even if done this early. 

• For color throughout the winter, begin planting pansies.
