Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere.

He's gotta pick this one. He's got to. I don't see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there's not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see."

Build Memories this Halloween

No matter where you live in the Treasure Valley, you won't have to look far to find loads of fun and maybe a few frights this Halloween.

O

ur modern day Halloween, also known as All Hallows’ Eve, has grown into one of the highest grossing commercial holidays in our country. It has become so popular that it is now celebrated more as a whole season with decorations, haunted houses, pumpkin carving, costumes, and of course, lots of candy.

Each year there seem to be more and more Halloween-themed activities around the Treasure Valley, with more people joining in on the fun. Yet, amid all the bobbing for apples, haunted corn mazes, and trick-or-treating, the

origins of Halloween are often overlooked.

day of Samhain began to be called “All Hallows Eve.” The tradition of “souling” came along during Back to Its Origins the mid-1800s, where people All Hallows’ Eve can be traced would go out and beg for food on back 2,000 years ago to a Celtic November 2nd, and in return, they festival known as Samhain, which would pray for the deceased. In celebrated the end of the harvest the 19th century, the tradition was year on November 1st. People revised to what is now known as believed that on the night before “trick-or-treating.”

Samhain, the dead returned to play tricks on the living. By the 8th With Halloween just around the century, Christianity spread to the corner, we thought we’d compile Celtic Territories and played an a list of fun activities that you can influence on the holiday. do around the Treasure Valley, to celebrate the holiday and its rich It was then that it was renamed “All and interesting history!

13 Spook-Free Tips

Keeping Everyone Safe

Nothing puts a damper on a fun time like an injury or accident. Take a look at the following lists to help ensure a truly happy Halloween.

Lindsay Listanski & Laura McHolm Coldwell Banker Blue Matter

H

alloween is full of tricks, treats, ghoulish games, frightening frocks, cute costumes, glowing Jack O’Lanterns, pumpkin packed parties, and of course spookiness! Unfortunately, all of the frightening fun has dangers lurking behind them.

Whether you are a parent of twolegged loved ones or four-legged furry loved ones, it is critical to be aware of the true spookiness that is hiding behind all the ghostly fun.

Kid Halloween Safety Tips 1. Choking Hazards As a good rule of thumb, a choking hazard could be considered as anything that can pass through a cardboard toilet paper roll holder unobstructed. So, taking that into consideration, look closely at all the items that you are putting out to display. From bats and ghosts to

pumpkins you roast. Hazards lurk everywhere!

2. Flashlights Child safe flashlights should have a child safe battery door on them that is secured by a screw to prevent removal of the battery, thus preventing a choking hazard.

Use flashlights or electric candles to light up your pumpkin too, flames and kids don’t mix.

3. Halloween Lights Look for Halloween light strings that have tamper resistant bulbs that can’t be removed easily and remember cords pose a strangulation hazard. All cords should be kept short and tight.

Consider taking the excess that you might leave hanging and bind it up with a zip tie.

4. Pumpkin Carving Remember to only use child safe cutting tools while carving

pumpkins, even as an adult. Kids learn by watching you, so if you use real knives you must know that they will want to do the same.

As soon as you turn around to grab something you forgot… little hands wander.

5. Costumes As a kid it’s mandatory to dress up. Our job is to make sure dress up is safe. Costumes should never obstruct movement, never cause visual impairment and never pose a trip hazard. Stick to material that is form fitting. If it’s loose, baggy or long it could create a trip hazard.

Avoid masks that can impair vision.

Face painting is the safest mask.

6. Glow at Night Make sure your child’s costume is visible or is equipped with something that makes them visible. Glow sticks are great and kids love them, but remember, never hang anything around their

COLDWELL BANKER TOMLINSON GROUP

PAGE 7 little necks unless you are using a child safe breakaway lanyard.

A couple glow sticks secured to shoes can be seen from a long way away. Flashlights are a good addition as well.

7. Halloween Treats Remember to make sure you go through and check all the candy that you are keeping. The candy should be in name brand with sealed packages. For candy bars, be sure you cut them into small pieces that are easy to chew. This also helps to ensure it hasn’t been tampered with. Unfortunately, ghouls are sometimes disguised as regular people.

Pet Halloween Safety Tips 1. Pet Costumes Yes, your pet looks absolutely adorable in that costume! Keep in mind, your fuzzy family member might not be as thrilled with the outfit. Feel free to get that amazing photo, but respect the fact that your pet may want to get out of those duds as soon as possible.

Make sure the outfit is comfortable, and pay special attention to straps that may impinge upon the neck and areas where the extremities meet the body. Never cbboise.com

leave a pet unaccompanied in a costume to avoid any “wardrobe malfunctions.”

2. NO Chocolate Most people know chocolate is toxic to their pets. Chocolate contains methyl xanthine, which can cause a variety of symptoms ranging from stomach upset to tremors, hyperthermia and seizures. At high doses, chocolate can lead to collapse and even death. Generally speaking, the darker and more concentrated the chocolate, the more dangerous it can be. There are helpful charts available (for instance, petMD. com) that can tell you what doses are dangerous for your pooch. If in doubt, always best to contact your veterinarian to see if treatment is indicated.

3. Sugar Free Danger Xylitol, an artificial sweetener found commonly in sugar-free gum as well as other products, can be extremely toxic to dogs. When ingested, it can cause a significant release of insulin, which can lead to extremely low blood sugars. At high doses, it can also lead to liver failure. If your pup has ingested this substance, always best to contact your veterinarian as your

pet may likely need treatment and supportive care.

4. Healthy Treat Dangers If you’re offering healthy alternatives this Halloween, keep in mind that grapes and raisins can be extremely toxic to dogs.

Some pets are more sensitive than others. In some animals, the toxin can lead to stomach upset initially, followed by kidney failure within 24 hours. It is always prudent to contact your veterinarian immediately if you suspect your pet has ingested these substances.

5. Burning Jack O’ Lanterns Flames and fur don’t mix. Just as you do for kids’ safety, consider replacing that Jack-O-Lantern candle with a flickering LED light.

6. Trick-or-Treating During trick-or-treating it is best to keep your pet inside, safe from all of the scary costumes, noises and lights that might frighten your pooch or feline. You might even want to consider locking your sweet little pal in a room so they don’t get spooked and run out the door when your trick or treaters arrive.

Yard Care Tips for Fall

What to Do Now

Keep your yard beautiful year 'round — and set up for a beautiful spring — by doing a few very important things now.

Ginnie Leeming Coldwell Banker Blue Matter

F

all has finally arrived! As you settle into autumn, and the weather begins to cool, it’s important not to neglect your yard. Keep your yard looking its best year ‘round with our easy fall yard care tips.

Take Care of Your Lawn Lawns can take quite a beating over the course of a Treasure Valley summer, so managing your lawn is

an important part of fall yard care.

As the weather cools, lawn growth will slow. Make sure to continue mowing your lawn (adjust the mower blade as needed) until it becomes dormant. If any pesky weeds sprung up, get rid of them now.

It’s also time to fertilize for a healthier lawn come spring. The types of grass typically seen

in SW Idaho are referred to as “cool-season” grasses, meaning they prefer to grow in the cooler months. Left unfertilized in the fall, our yards will be “hungry” by spring, making them more prone to insects and disease.

Did summer heat and lots of activity compact your yard’s soil?

Make it a point to aerate your lawn.

Doing so will encourage healthy

COLDWELL BANKER TOMLINSON GROUP

PAGE 9 root systems, plus aerating allows water to penetrate deeper, helping to avoid runoff.

Adjust Your Watering As temperatures dip, plants and grass need less water. Reduce manual watering and make sure to keep an eye on automatic systems, adjusting them as needed.

Fall is also an excellent time to start practicing water conservation techniques. Set up a rain bucket, if you don’t already have one.

When you mow the lawn, don’t bag the clippings. Leave them on your grass to conserve water and naturally fertilize your lawn.

Beautify with New Trees, Shrubs, and Annuals Fall is the perfect time to whip your yard into ship shape!

Keep your property looking beautiful by removing wilted summer annuals and replacing them with cool-weather varieties, making sure to fertilize the soil first.

Speaking of fertilizer, you’ll want to stop fertilizing perennials. This will allow them to rest during winter and be healthier come spring.

Replenish mulch around trees and flower beds, as well.

Planning to add trees or shrubs?

Fall is a great time to do it. Cooler temperatures and increasing cbboise.com

rainfall will help to encourage root growth before it gets too cold. Choose native plants for best results.

Clean Up Debris Of course, a big part of fall yard care is cleaning up debris, including dead plants or leaves.

Did you know that in our area yard trimmings make up approximately 40 percent of the waste generated by single-family homes each year?

To help reduce what you send to the landfill, there are a few easy things you can do.

1. There’s no need to remove a few straggling leaves from your lawn. Just mow right over them, and they’ll help to fertilize your lawn.

2. For yards with more trees, consider starting a compost pile.

Compost can be used as mulch, and using it in your yard helps save on your water bills, reduces the need to fertilize (which is better for the environment), and saves you time (no bagging leaves). Simply add your yard waste to a compost pile instead of throwing it out.

3. If you rake your leaves and don’t have a compost pile, be sure to use compostable paper leaf bags for curb side pickup.

The City of Boise’s Recycle the Fall offers citywide leaf pickup from November 1 to December 2, 2016.

4. Get a mulching blade for your lawn mower, and stop bagging the clippings. As stated earlier, leaving the clippings on your yard conserves water, and doing so also keeps them out of the landfill.

Doing a few things in your yard now will ensure a beautiful lawn next spring!

to popular belief, the holidays are actually a great time to sell a home.
