We join with those who mourn the loss of life,  the injuries, and the disruption of lives caused  by the attacks  against Washington,  DC, and  New York, N.Y.    All those effected -- the brave people who helped in rescue efforts, those involved in America's response to terror and in the war with Iraq-- are in our thoughts and prayers.

Halloween is a cherished tradition for all children.  But this late fall celebration involves a variety of risks for too trusting kids.  Here are some tips from the Santa Maria (CA) Fire Department make it safer.

Young children should always go trick-or-treating with an adult.

Never trick-or-treat alone.  Have at least two buddies go with you.

Plan the entire route and make sure your family knows what it is.

Make sure that kids have a flame-retardant costume.

Wait until you get home and your parents check your candy before you eat it.

Be very cautious of strangers.

Accept treats only in the doorway.  Never go inside a house or apartment.

Do not play near lit jack-o-lanterns.

Visit only houses where the lights are on.

Walk, don’t run.

Walk on sidewalks and driveways.

Cross the street at the corner or in a crosswalk.

Wear a watch and carry a flashlight.  Take a cellular phone if possible.

Always use common sense.

Be sure to say thank you for your treats.
