Letter from the Publisher

And just like that, it’s October. The month of day and night sideways rain cut in half by Alaska Day and finished with Halloween, and Halloween means the start of the holiday season!

Now that we have two kiddos at home, we are getting excited for all the holidays we get to relive through a child’s eyes. And now that we are a little more “experienced” parents, I have some Trick-or-treating tips to share with you.

Costumes

The warmer the better, costumes that is. Let’s face it, we live in Alaska -- even if it’s not raining or snowing, it’s still gonna be chilly.

Incorporate longsleeves into a

Halloween Tips

princess dress, pad that spiderman outfit and get some hand warmers. Or do the opposite, let’em get cold and cut your trick-or-treating short! Hey, why haven’t I been doing that?! In all seriousness, nothing stops fun like being cold and wet.

Location

If you don’t want to chance the weather, there are a number of indoor activities to attend, but they can be very busy so plan accordingly. In year’s past the malls, field house and schools have participated in some type of Halloween or Autumn themed festival.

It’s a great way to stay dry, and have your kiddo burn some candy-fueled energy with other children.

Influence

I know we want to live through our children but this is one of the only nights, if not the only night a year they get to dictate exactly what they want to be. My husband and I are guilty of that in our house. “I want to be a princess...” “But wouldn’t you’d rather be something scary like a ghost?...”

That being said, when they are really

young and aren’t quite sure what’s going on, dictate away, we did!

Visability

Glowsticks, flashlights, reflectors.

Even though most people know it’s Halloween and are extra vigilant about being aware of the littles walking around, being easier to see never hurts.

Safety Education

There’s a lot about this holiday that allows for a great teaching platform.

Educating our children to be observant and watch out for traffic is so important, not just on Halloween but all the time. Teach them to pay attention to their surroundings, to remember details that stick out to them in case they get lost or need to describe a location later for some reason. I always ask that my kiddo doesn’t eat any candy she collects until I can inspect it to the best of my ability and make sure everything looks “ok.”

Allergies

Put a bowl of candy out, but also a bowl of something that isn’t for eating.

There are a lot of kiddos who want to participate in trick-or-treating but have allergies to nuts, wheat, lactose and so on. Costco usually has some great non-candy options. Last year we put out a bowl of miniature containers of play-dough.

Respect

Teaching kiddos to only take a piece or two of candy and to also be respectful of the decorations around other people’s houses. I’ve been the recipient of smashed pumpkins and people who empty the entire bowl of goodies into

their bag when we leave it unattended.

It really ruins it for everyone.

Leftover Candy

There are a number of businesses that take leftover Halloween candy for a good cause. Or there’s always the option of donating it to the good’ol office breakroom, but not everyone is a fan of that. I’ve heard of a number of recipes that incorporates candy into cookies, muffins, or ice cream... Or just shove it in a drawer, forget about it like I do and throw it away in 2-4 years. Stay warm out there, and Happy Halloween!

4 Tips to Prevent and Treat Health Issues on Vacation (BPT) - It’s the night before your long-awaited vacation. You’ve triple-checked your suitcase, checked into your flight and notified the bank of your travel plans. Everything is ready to go, but even the most experienced travelers can’t predict the unexpected health hiccups that might arise along the way.

Before heading off, keep in mind these minor, but common, health concerns and be sure to pack the right items to help protect yourself and stay comfortable once you arrive.

MOTION SICKNESS Whether traveling by plane, train, car or boat, sometimes just the slightest bit of constant movement can trigger motion sickness, suddenly making you feel queasy, dizzy and nauseous.

Typically, motion sickness occurs when your senses receive confusing signals from your environment. The first thing to do is stay calm, relax and try to focus on something else, such as counting backward from 100. Natural remedies

to provide relief include raw ginger and mint, so bring along a pack of flavored teas or mint-flavored chewing gum to help soothe your symptoms.

HEMORRHOIDS Extended time sitting during long travel days, sudden diet changes and destinations that may have you further away from the usual bathroom amenities can all lead to backside discomfort and the potential onset of hemorrhoids. Pack Preparation H Rapid Relief Totables Wipes with Lidocaine for portable pain relief from hemorrhoids when you’re on the go. The individually wrapped wipes provide rapid numbing relief, reduce swelling and are flushable, making them a perfect, discreet item to bring along.

SUNBURN It goes without saying that using sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun’s damaging rays is crucial. But let’s face it - sometimes sunscreen application

can be spotty and reapplying every two hours can fall by the wayside when having fun, which can ultimately bring on a painful sunburn. In addition to the sunscreen you already had in your bag, be sure to pack a moisturizer with aloe vera to help soothe skin and ibuprofen to help reduce any swelling, redness and discomfort caused by sunburn.

another layer of skin, preventing the formation of blisters, while extra socks can help reduce friction.

Planning for these minor health issues is as easy as tossing items in your purse or bag. Vacation is supposed to be fun, spontaneous and relaxing, but keeping these extra precautions in mind before you leave ensures minor health inconveniences don’t get in the way of enjoyment during and after your trip.

BLISTERS If your travel plans involve walking or hiking long distances, you may experience blisters while on the move, as it only takes a little friction and moisture for them to pop up. Whether you’re climbing a mountain solo or trekking through an amusement park with the family, make sure to pack adhesive bandages and extra socks to help prevent and treat blisters.

6 WAYS TO CREATE COMMUNITY IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD (BPT) - It’s easy to see the value of living in caring neighborhoods and being good neighbors.

One recent survey found 75 percent of Americans think it’s important to welcome new neighbors, 58 percent say it’s important for neighbors to socialize and 37 percent are more likely to seek help from a neighbor than a friend when it comes to

small projects.

The chance to meet others is often cited as a primary reason millennials prefer living in urban neighborhoods. The survey found 58 percent of millennials have had face-to-face interactions with their neighbors, while 40 percent wish they were better connected than they already are.

Interested in becoming a better inhabitant of your own neighborhood?

Consider

these suggestions aimed at promoting a kinder, friendlier environment.

1) Introduce yourself. Take the first step. Instead of avoiding contact when in your yard or out for a walk, shake hands, say hi and make an effort to remember people’s names. Even when in-person contact is brief, it can go a long way toward helping people feel connected and more like friends than strangers.

2) Take new neighbors housewarming gifts.

Make newcomers feel wanted and welcome by acknowledging their arrival with a thoughtful gift. One meaningful and sure-to-be-welcome idea is a beautifully fragranced soy candle from Bright Endeavors, a Chicago-area nonprofit that employs young mothers.

Every purchase helps empower young women by teaching them job training and giving them the skills needed to gain permanent employment and provide for their children. Or choose from a wide variety of local vendors and artists.

3) If your new neighbors are new to being local, give them contact info for neighbors and neighborhood amenities. Include phone numbers for emergency

services, doctors’ offices, dentists, schools, babysitters, entertainment options, sources of great takeout food, dry cleaners and any other assets you think may be helpful. People will appreciate your insider view into local amenities, and they’ll be more likely to communicate key information to others if their contact info is readily available.

4) Organize a neighborhood event.

It could be as simple as a front-porch open house or as strategically planned as a neighborhood cleanup, but any gathering that brings people together to socialize is bound to create goodwill and a friendlier neighborhood vibe.

5) Stay aware of who needs help.

When possible, organize meal delivery, dog walking, transportation or other assistance for neighbors going through tough times. Teaming up to help others may make your neighbors feel more connected, and people on the receiving end of such kindness tend to pay it forward.

6) Live by the golden rule. Treat your neighbors as you would like to be treated. Clean up after pets and kids, drive through at reasonable speeds, don’t be overly loud, mow at reasonable hours, return anything you’ve borrowed and generally stay aware of how you’re coming across to others.

It feels good to live in a neighborhood that feels more like a community than an anonymous collection of strangers.

Consider how you can take the initiative to create warmth and peace within your own neighborhood.
