Sidewalks and Safety Considerations

The Hunter's Chase Forum is online Go green. Go paperless.

Let's do our part as good neighbors and make sure our sidewalks are free of debris, including removing all grass and weeds from between cracks. Besides the kids going heading to and from school, more folks will be out as cooler weather comes. Walkers and runners in the neighborhood would appreciate well-kept sidewalks as well. For those who may not know, keeping sidewalks and driveways grass and weed free is an HCOA deed requirement. Don't get cited! And while you’re gussying up your front area, don't forget to move all trash and recycling receptacles to the SIDE of your property after pickup!

Halloween Safety from the

Austin Fire Department Many of these safety tips are obvious; some may not be. They all are worth reviewing as Halloween nears. • Make sure costumes are visible and can be seen by drivers. For greater visibility in dusk or darkness, costumes should be decorated or trimmed with reflective tape. • Use cosmetics instead of face masks. If a mask is used, make sure it fits securely and does not block vision. • Carry either a flashlight or a "glow-stick." Do not carry candles, torches, or other actual flaming devices. • Costumes should be flame retardant. • Do not drive in a costume that restricts movement or vision. • Children should always have an adult with them. • An adult should inspect all candy before children are allowed to eat it. • Throw away any candy that is not individually wrapped or purchased at a store. • Children should stay on the sidewalk when trickor-treating. • Stay in small groups (we suggest six or fewer to a group). Stay near home in a familiar neighborhood and surroundings. • Cross streets only at intersections. • Candle-lit jack-o-lanterns should be kept away from landings and doorsteps where costumes could brush against the flame. • Indoor jack-o-lanterns should be kept away from curtains, decorations, or other furnishings that could be ignited. • Jack-o-lanterns should be treated like all other candles. Extinguish them before leaving them unattended and before going to sleep. Source: Austin Fire Department Website. Copyright © 2013 Peel, Inc.

Tagging Mailboxes and the Law Over the past summer some mailboxes in the neighborhood were tagged. Ahead of Halloween and possibility of the more mischievous tricksters being out and about, this information is equally important to take into consideration. If you suspect you know the tagger or if you’re concerned you may know someone considering engaging in such activity, you may want to pass this along: Mailbox vandalism is a federal crime. According to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, mailboxes are considered federal property, and federal law (Title 18, United States Code, Section 1705), makes it a crime to vandalize them (or to injure, deface or destroy any mail deposited in them). Violators can be fined up to $250,000, or imprisoned for up to three years, for each act of vandalism.

The Service recommends immediately reporting theft, tampering or destruction of mail or mailboxes to your postmaster. You’ll be asked to complete PS Form 1510, Mail Loss and Rifling Report, or PS Form 2016, Mail Theft and Vandalism Complaint. The forms help the Postal Inspection Service determine whether your problem is isolated, or one frequently experienced in your neighborhood. For reference, the Postal Inspection Service office that serves Austin can be contacted at: Postal Inspection Service 14800 Trinity Blvd Ste 600 Fort Worth TX 76155-2675 Phone: (877) 876-2455
