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.

A zero budget is not even necessary for this tremendous problem. Even with the 3.14 budget, thisRead More scenario exists. The classes will be in the thirties next year in the secondary schools. I heard the classes will have at least 35 kids in them next year because of all of the teacher excessing. It would be even worse if there is a zero budget, but the problem already exists.

It's very possible Mark, and you're right, it's already a problem because of the cuts made to get toRead More this tax cap budget. It will be a complete disaster if the budget fails.

Shameful Remarks....

Wrong JP, people like Mrs. Kohlmann make this country and people like yourself just take. That'sRead More what is shameful!

My kids do not have Mr. Hinkaty, but I know his name well from many others. He is a favorite ofRead More many, many students. I hope for the sake of Sachem something changes over the summer and they can find a way to keep him here. Whatever district ends up with that teacher will find that they have struck gold. We wish you the best, Mr. Hinkaty. I hope we can keep you here!
