Helpful hints to ‘green’ your Halloween COAST CITIES — This season, Waste Management of North County reminds its customers to save money and Think Green by avoiding traditional Halloween routines in favor of recyclable, ecofriendly habits. — Use the whole pumpkin: Most everyone buys a pumpkin to celebrate the holiday and ends up tossing it in the trash on Nov. 1. However, avoiding that waste is easy by using the pumpkin for both food and decoration. It’s easy to bake the seeds with a little bit of salt for a tasty and healthy snack; or, puree the freshly cutout pieces for recipes that
call for fresh pumpkin — avoiding canned pumpkin. All other parts of the pumpkin can be added to your compost pile. — Skip the expensive plastic costumes: Put less stress on your wallet by opting for costumes made of reusable or recycled materials. Incite your family’s creativity by constructing a unique, exciting costume from scratch. — Use recyclable bags for your Trick-or-Treaters: A fun family activity is to create a unique Trick-or-Treat basket, or simply put a reusable bag or pillowcase to good use. Avoiding the plas-
tic Jack-O-Lantern type containers will avoid clutter, save money, and add a dash of originality to your Trickor-Treaters’ costume. — Candy options are out there: When stocking up for Oct. 31, look for candy brands that donate part of their profits to environmental causes; Fair Tradesourced chocolates; or sweets made with pure cane sugar, fruit juice and natural colors. If you’re skipping candy for health reasons, try handing out small toys, pencils, or soy crayons. Buy in bulk to avoid the packaging waste. — DIY decorations:
Fire at Hawthorne Machinery booth does minor damage 4S RANCH — On Oct. 6 at 1:29 p.m. firefighters from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District responded to a water flow alarm at Hawthorne Machinery, at the corner of Camino San Bernardo and Willow Court in 4S Ranch. Upon arrival they saw smoke coming from a large, industrial paint booth used to paint earth-moving equipment. Further investigation revealed that a fire had broken out in the paint booth’s filtration system but had been contained by the activation of one fire sprinkler. One employee was in the booth when the fire broke out but was able to evacuate safely when he saw the smoke.
“The building, which is Diego Medical Services. The cause remains worth approximately $750,000, sustained only under investigation. $500 in damage,” Fire Marshal Cliff Hunter said. “If not for the properly functioning fire sprinkler, the outcome could have been much different and the damage much more severe.” Firefighters remained on scene for approximately two hours to ensure the fire was extinguished and assist with the investigation and clean up. Three fire engines and two battalion chiefs from RSFFPD responded to the incident. They were assisted by one ladder truck, two fire engines, and one battalion chief from San Diego Fire and one ambulance from San
