It’s essential for parents to prepare their children properly to stay safe while trick-or-treating. Over a recent five-year period, on average, twice as many child pedestrians have been killed on Halloween as have been killed on average throughout the rest of the year. To promote Halloween safety the Fly Creek Cider Mill & Orchard will host Safe Kids of Otsego County on Saturday and Sunday, October 22 & 23 from 10:00 until 4:00 providing safety tips, reflective zipper pulls and stickers to Mill visitors. The excitement of the holiday can make everyone less cautious. "Parents need to remind kids about safety while walking before they go out trick-or-treating," says Rich McCaffery, a Community Educator with Bassett Healthcare Network and Safe Kids of Otsego County. "Children should bring flashlights or glow sticks with them, carry reflective bags, or have reflective tape or stickers on their costumes, so as to increase their visibility to drivers. Children should not wear masks that may inhibit their ability to see hazards. Ensuring kids are seen this Halloween is essential to keep this holiday fun for everyone.” Safe Kids’ Tips for Parents and Drivers Safe Kids recommends that children under age 10 do not trick-or-treat without adult supervision. If kids are mature enough to go trick-or-treating without supervision, make sure they go in a group and stick to a predetermined route with good lighting. Parents should also remind kids to:

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer individuals and allies with an interest are invited to come and learn more about the foster care and adoption process as a pathway to parenthood. A light dinner will be provided. The event is free but reservations are requested. Attendees will gain an understanding of the foster care certification and adoption process, hear from parents who have gone through the process, pick up free information, speak one-on-one with agency representatives, and have the opportunity to network with other LGBTQ parents and prospective parents. According to organizers, “Many LGBTQ individuals and couples may not be aware that the foster care system is open to them as a way to create or expand their families. In fact, more than 14,000 US children are already living in lesbian- or gay-led foster families. Here in New York State, the child welfare system is in constant need of foster and adoptive families for the approximately 23,000 children in its care. More than ever, members of the LGBTQ communities are taking their places as temporary or permanent parents to some of these children and youth.” Session sponsors are the Lesbian and Gay Family Building Project (www.PrideAndJoyFamilies.org), A Thousand Moms (www.athousandmoms.org), Berkshire Farm Center and Services for Youth (www.berkshirefarm.org), and The Q Center @ ACR (www.aidscommunityresources.com). This event is the first of four adoption and foster care information sessions to be held throughout Upstate New York. Future sessions are planned for Albany, Binghamton, and Ithaca.
