Ont. Health says Halloween not scary if trick-or-treaters follow H1N1 tips

TORONTO – The Ontario Ministry of Health says parents and children shouldn’t be scared to trick-or-treat because of H1N1 this Halloween, but should use extra care when celebrating.

Ministry spokesman Kevin Finnerty says trick-or-treaters should take anti-flu precautions, such as wearing gloves along with costumes and using hand sanitizers in between houses.

He says it’s smart to purchase store bought masks, and to wash them down before wearing them and never share masks or candy.

Finnerty adds that homeowners handing out candy shouldn’t let kids fish around in the candy bowl.

He says it’s a good idea to wipe down front door bells, knockers and handles periodically to prevent germs from spreading.

And if children feel sick, it’s better they stay at home.

And I’ll see what else I can come up with for you.

No trick: 2,000 kids knock on White House door

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama on Saturday doled out presidential M&Ms and dried fruit mixes to more than 2,000 trick-or-treaters, marking their Halloween at a White House event partly aimed at honoring military families.

Dressed as superheroes, pirates, fairies and skeletons, the kids came in with their parents from Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C., and lined up on the orange-lit White House driveway.

Standing outside the White House front door, the Obamas smiled, chatted and passed out cellophane goody bags that were also filled with a sweet dough butter cookie made by White House pastry chef Bill Yosses. Kids also received a National Park Foundation Ranger activity book.

Mrs. Obama wore furry cat ears and a leopard-patterned top. Obama said the kids looked adorable, as well as his wife, “a very nice looking Catwoman.”

A big, stuffed, black spider dangled in a web of string from the top of the portico, and pumpkins had sprouted up around the columns.

Meanwhile, an odd cast of figures wondered around the North Lawn, including skeletons playing musical instruments, walking trees and “Star Wars” characters. The night’s arrangements took a month or two to prepare, the White House said.

The loot handed out was just part of the treat for the visiting kids, who were chosen with help from the Education Department.

“He touched my hand,” said a beaming Tiera Thomas, 11, of Washington, D.C., after she picked up her candy from President Obama.

The Obamas spent about a half hour passing out candy to trick-or-treaters, ages 6 to 14.

I know some kids who, if you treated them to “dried fruit mix” they’d throw it in your face…!

AP had to add this… niiiiice.

The Obamas are not the first, though, to show Halloween spirit.

President George H.W. Bush and first lady Barbara Bush hosted 500 children on Halloween in 1989, loading them up with fun loot but also teaching them about the dangers of drugs. The kids came decked out in costumes; some Secret Service agents came dressed as clowns. bolds mine of course
