ANNOUNCEMENTS Public Meetings NEWS Ensuring a Safe and Fun Halloween: Tips from Unified Police Department and Millcreek ---PAGE BREAK--- City Council Mon., 10/28/24 Work Session Regular Meeting 7pm City Hall 1330 E Chambers Ave MILLCREEK. As Halloween approaches, excitement fills the air with the anticipation of costumes, candy, and spooky fun. Unified Police Department (UPD) and Millcreek are committed to ensuring that this festive occasion remains safe for everyone in our community. Here are some important Halloween safety tips to help you and your family enjoy a fun and secure holiday. Trick-or-Treating Safety 1. Plan Your Route: Before heading out, plan a safe route in familiar neighborhoods. Stick to well-lit streets and avoid cutting through alleys or across vacant lots. 2. Trick-or-Treat Before Dusk: Aim to complete trick-or-treating before it gets too dark. This helps ensure better visibility and safety for everyone involved. 3. Stay Visible: Equip your children with flashlights or glow sticks and add reflective tape to their costumes to increase visibility. Bright-colored costumes are also recommended. 4. Use the Buddy System: Children should never trick-or-treat alone. Always go in groups or with a trusted adult. 5. Inspect Treats: Examine all treats at home before consuming them. Discard any unwrapped, homemade, or suspicious-looking items. 6. Stay on Sidewalks: Walk on sidewalks whenever possible. If there are no sidewalks, walk on the edge of the road facing traffic and avoid crossing mid-block. 7. Look Both Ways: Remind children to look both ways before crossing the street and to use crosswalks whenever possible. Don’t run into the street. ---PAGE BREAK--- 8. Respect Homeowners: Only approach homes that have their porch lights on, and never enter a stranger’s home or car. Costume Safety 1. Choose Safe Costumes: Make sure costumes are flame-resistant and fit properly to prevent trips and falls. Avoid masks that obstruct vision; consider using face paint instead. 2. Safe Accessories: Use soft, flexible props for any costume accessories to prevent accidental injuries. 3. Make Your Costume Visible: Add reflective tape to costumes and carry a flashlight or glow stick to ensure you're seen by drivers and other pedestrians. Home Safety for Homeowners 1. Clear Pathways: Ensure your yard and pathways are well-lit and free from obstacles to prevent falls. 2. Pet Safety: Keep pets indoors to prevent them from becoming frightened or aggressive with trick-or-treaters. 3. Candy Distribution: Consider setting up a distribution station outside your door to avoid excessive doorbell ringing. ---PAGE BREAK--- Driving Safety 1. Be Alert: Drive slowly and be extra cautious in residential areas. Children may unexpectedly dart into the street. 2. Yield to Pedestrians: Always yield to trick-or-treaters crossing the street and be aware that costumes may limit their visibility. 3. Avoid Distractions: Keep your full attention on the road and avoid using mobile devices while driving. Emergency Contact Information 1. Emergency Services: In case of an emergency, dial 911 immediately. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2.

At that time, she says, “my boys were scattered across the country, and I found myself in an empty house except for Dusty, my floppy- eared Golden Retriever. The idea of painting had always intrigued me, but it wasn’t until April 2015 that I mustered the courage to enroll in my first class at the Visual Art Institute. "I was filled with fears of rejection, but it was there that I met Barbara Kidd. She was not just an instructor but a mentor and a friend. Her guidance and support have been instrumental in my growth as an artist. "Painting with watercolors has been a transformation. I've always been a structured person, a bit of a control freak with the need to find a place for everything and everything has a place. Watercolors, however, are anything but structured. They've taught me to let go, to allow water to flow where it wants and colors to follow. As an artist, I drop them in place and surrender ultimate ---PAGE BREAK--- control to the vagaries of the paper, paint pigment, temperature, and water soaking and sliding on the paper. I can paint the same scene daily for a week and end up with seven significantly different paintings. "Some of my best work is the result of happy accidents. Painting has also deepened my appreciation for nature. The segregated layers of a rose are each tinged by the sun’s shadow. Clouds, sunrises, and sunsets. The blush on a baby’s cheek. Mountains and their canyons. Timbered and snowcapped slopes.” You can reach Wendy at [EMAIL REDACTED] Nathan Spenser is a Utah native, born and raised in Salt Lake City, with a riveting stage presence. His music is inspired by Americana, Country and Jazz, which he infuses with swooner techniques and blues- driven vocals. ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- CONSTRUCTION UPDATES ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- 2000 East Storm Drain Maintenance Project Millcreek will address a road safety concern with a storm drain system located at 2000 East, north of 3300 South.
