Think safety Monday for Halloween Trick-or-Treaters

Halloween 2022 weather won't be perfect but predictions call for no more than drizzle in our area during trick or treat hours, no storms.

Trick-or-treaters won't be the only ones in disguise this Halloween. Potential hazards to children also might appear in disguises, or not be apparent. Halloween-related injuries result from treats that have been tampered with, or that pose a choking hazard.

Injuries also might involve eye abrasions from sharp accessories or objects attached to masks or costumes, and burns from flammable costumes ignited by open flames from candles and jack-o'-lanterns. Children also can be injured from running through dimly lit yards or dashing out into streets.

The following safety suggestions will help ensure that Halloween ghosts and goblins won't be haunted by unnecessary injuries. Warn children not to eat any treats before an adult has carefully examined the items for evidence of tampering.

Dr. Samuel Tolbert speaks on handling pressure at CU chapel

By Gerard Flanagan

Campbellsville, KY - Within 18 months, Dr. Samuel Tolbert and his congregation at Greater St. Mary Missionary Baptist Church in Lake Charles, LA, had endured a hurricane, an ice storm, and a flood, in addition to the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tolbert spent 13 months displaced from his home, all while trying to build a new church building and lead his congregation through the myriad of challenges.

"That in itself created a lot of pressure as to how we did ministry in the aftermath of these calamities," Tolbert said during Campbellsville University's Dialogue on Race chapel on Oct. 12 in Ransdell Chapel. "The pressures of ministry were multiplied. Ministry is not absent of anxiety and pressure."
