Brookhaven Officials 'Discouraging' Trick-or-Treating

Acting Town Supervisor Kathleen Walsh ask parents to keep kids at home Halloween night.

Acting Brookhaven Town Supervisor Kathleen Walsh is asking residents to spend Halloween indoors and is discouraging outdoor trick-or-treating in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Many areas of the Town are still without power with downed trees and power lines remaining in the street, which can pose serious hazards for youngsters.

"The Town of Brookhaven has sustained tremendous damage from Hurricane Sandy, making the classic tradition of trick-or-treating very dangerous for all of our residents this year," said Walsh. “With downed power lines, fallen trees, and blackout conditions in many of our neighborhoods, I strongly encourage our residents to celebrate this year's holiday indoors with friends and family."

I'm really sorry, but if you are THAT concerned- cancel or postpone. Common sense.

Tell me what other district is as large as Sachem?????? No better yet tell me what district hasRead More almost 6,000 residents but less than half of them care enough to vote because they are to lazy to come out. Why because they don't think anything will happen? Or because of the i don't have a kid in the district so why should I pay attitude. Maybe you don't have a child in THIS district but you probably do in some other district or maybe a grandchild somewhere. I can't stand the fact that the CHILDREN .......mine or someone elses will suffer. For what?, being to cheap to pay an extra 500 per year. Yet you will see these same people in Starbucks or at the nail salon every 2 weeks or lets not go there and God forbid give up smoking cuz that's just so important. Before you think that I can afford to pay this 500 increase let me tell you my husband works 12 hour shifts 6 days a week and I work 40-50 hours per week as well. We have 2 grown children and 2 younger ones and we barely make ends meet. BUT I would rather take on a second or third job than see things my kids enjoy ripped from under them. ITS DISGUSTING !!!!!!! Anyone who did not take the time to come out and vote the first time or who did and voted no are disgraceful. Its about the KIDS NOT ABOUT OUR WALLETS!!!!!
