Jack-O'-Lantern Tips
It wouldn't seem like Halloween
without those smiling orange faces.
Try these ways to make them
better and faster.
To get that jack-o'- lantern cleaned
out fast, use an ice
cream scoop. Line the
bottom
wit h
aluminum foil and
put a set of coiled
miniature Christmas lights inside,
making a little hole in the back to
draw the cord through. It's safer,
lasts longer, doesn't smell, and
looks just as good. But if you must
have the candle, cut the hole in the
bottom of the pumpkin and use the
stem end to pick it up. It's easier to
position the candle without having
to reach down inside the shell.
Don't forget to put the pumpkin on
a mat, because as it decays, it can
ruin the finish on a wooden table or
shelf. Of cour se, instea d of
carving, you can simply draw a
face on the pumpkin, having fun
with magic markers, stickers or
whatever, and it will last much
longer.
Use a virtual pumpkin: cover a
glass fishbowl or punch bowl with
strips of orange crepe paper (or
cover with watered-down tempera
paint), add construction paper
features, and put a candle or a
flashlight inside.

Always use common sense
1. Young children should always go
trick-or-treating with an adult.
2. Never trick-or-treat alone. Have at
least 2 buddies go with you.
3. Plan your entire route and make
sure your family knows what it is.
4. Make sure that you are wearing a
flame retardant costume.
5. Wait until you get
h om e an d y o ur
parents check your
candy before you eat
it.
6. Be very cautious
of strangers.

Never go inside a house.

crosswalk.

All you wanted to know
about Pumpkins but were
afraid to ask!
Pumpkins are fruits. A pumpkin is a
type of squash and is a member of the
go ur d
f amily
(Cucurbitacae), which
also includes squash,
cucumbers, gherkins,
and melons.
Pumpkins have been
gr o wn
in
No rt h
Amer ica fo r f iv e
thousand years. They are indigenous to
the western hemisphere.
In 1584, after French explorer Jacques
Cartier explored the St. Lawrence
region of North America, he reported
finding "gros melons." The name was
translated into English as "pompions,"
which has since evolved into the
modern "pumpkin."
Pumpkins are low in calories, fat, and
sodium and high in fiber. They are good
sources of Vitamin A, Vitamin B,
potassium, protein, and iron.
1,140 pounds. It was grown by Dave
Stelts of Leetonia, Ohio, in 2000.
Pumpkin seeds should be planted
between the last week of May and the
middle of June. They take between 90
and 120 days to grow and are picked in
October when they are bright orange
in color. Their seeds can be saved to
grow new pumpkins the next year.
The largest pumpkin pie ever baked
was 350 pounds and five feet in
diameter.
Cleaner Fingernails
Before going to work in the garden,
scrape your fingernails over a bar of
hand soap to pack a layer under them.
When you’re done with
the yard work,
lightly scrub your
hands with
a
brush and rise out
the soap. Your
fingernails will be
squeaky clean.
