•Keep doors and windows locked; this is the first step in staying safe. Make sure the doors are made of solid wood or metal, not hollow core doors. Check the window locks, to make sure they are in good working order. Place a wood or metal bar in the lower track of sliding glass doors, for added protection.
Install a security system or a life alert program. The life alert program is not just for sick or elderly people; it's a great program for those who live alone. It is a monthly program that monitors your well being.
Install a motion detector outdoors, to light the walkways and sides of the house. Make sure the porch lights are working.
Trim bushes and plants in front of doors and windows; they can offer a good hiding place for a burglar.
Get a dog and keep it indoors with you. A dog can keep you safe by warning you of intruders.
•List only your last name and first initial in the phone book.
•Reprogram the answering machine to add the word "we."
•Never leave ladders or tools within easy reach, as a burglar can use them to break in.
•Never leave a spare key under the mat or flowerpot.
•Never allow an uninvited person into your home; make an excuse if necessary.
•Always check credentials of repairmen, and call their place of business to verify who they are.

Stranger Safety for Kids
"Never talk to strangers!" That's not all kids strangers are not only on the streets but on the Internet, at the parks, in our shopping malls, basically everywhere a child goes there is a stranger.
Strangers look like normal people, a stranger could be a man or woman a boy or girl. They could be short or tall, skinny or fat. Most strangers are nice but some are mean. A stranger is someone you don't know very well or know at all. Someone that you have never seen before or never met before, or an acquaintance of the family who knows you by name but that you don't know.
A stranger that has bad intentions could try to coax a child into a vehicle by saying that the child's parent is sick or in the hospital.
Please, tell your child that you will never send a stranger to get them. If you have no choice, in advance before that situation arises, agree on a code word with your child that the person must know before your child goes with them.
You should never accept a ride from a stranger, Never get into someones car that you or your parents don't know. Unless they know the code word.
If a stranger asks for help? Say no- leave immediately, step back while their talking to you, and don’t approach cars, vans or trucks. Tell your parents immediately.
If someone offers you candy, a present, money, or a ride? Ask your parents and adult in charge before accepting anything
Follows you to or from school or the playground. Go to a safe place right away. Be ready to run.
Approaches you in the store or what if you get lost while shopping? Look for a store employee wearing a uniform and name tag, remain at the front of the store until your parent comes to you.
Tries to grab you or says, “Come with me, or else” begin running to a safe place with people and lights, screaming, Stranger as you run. Report it to your parents or trusted adult immediately.
If someone tries to get you into their car FIGHT, SCREAM FIRE, BITE, KICK, JAB A PEN IN THE EYE OR UP THE NOSE, THROW ROCKS, OR ANY OTHER OBJECTS, THEN RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN BACK TO SCHOOL IF YOU ARE CLOSE, YELL ALL THE WAY IF YOU HAVE TO.
If someone tries to harm you remember what they looked like.
How tall. hair color, was it short,long,curly,short,. about how old was he or she. Did this person have any scars tattoos or birthmarks? What type of clothing remember the color and descriptions.

Summer Fire Safety
Fires can be prevented. A few easy steps can save your life!
Barbecue Grills
Keep grills at least 10 feet from siding and eaves.
Never use a grill in a garage or carport.
Before using a gas grill, check hoses and connections for leaks.
Check that the venturi tubes-where gas and air mix-are not blocked.
Never overfill a propane tank.
Consumers should only use propane tanks that have a three-pronged valve: this is a sign that there is an overfill protection device in the tanks.
When lighting a charcoal grill, use only charcoal starter fluid. Never add fluid after the fire is started.
To dispose of hot coals, soak them with water and stir to make sure the fire is out.
Never put coals in plastic, wood, or paper containers.
Wear snug-fitting clothing when grilling.
Fireworks
For safety's sake, leave fireworks to the professionals.
Stay back at least 500 feet from professional fireworks displays.
If you do use fireworks, light them outdoors, away from dry grass.
Always have a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher nearby.
Never let children light or play with fireworks.
Wear snug-fitting clothing while lighting fireworks.

ALERT! ALERT1 HOT CARS
Safety Tips
To keep your kids safe:
Don't leave them in a car, which can quickly heat up, especially on a hot, sunny day.
Always lock your car and secure the keys so that your kids can't get to them.
Warn your kids about playing in the car by themselves without adult supervision.
Install a trunk release mechanism, so that they can't get trapped in the trunk.
Get your kids out of the car first, and then worry about getting the groceries, etc., out of the car when you get home.
Make sure that child car providers and day care workers have a plan to make sure that kids aren't left in the day care providers car or van.
If you are afraid that you might leave your sleeping infant or toddler in their car seat when you get out of the car, place a reminder on the dashboard.
Also be on alert for cars that might have an unattended child left inside. If you see a child alone in a car, be sure to call 911 and help make sure the child gets out as soon as possible.
In addition to the risk of being abducted if they are left alone in a car, on a typical summer day, the temperature inside a car (even with the windows rolled down a little) can quickly rise above 120 to 140 degrees. Even on a relatively mild day, the temperature inside a car can get above 100 degrees. At those temperatures, kids are at great risk for heat stroke, which can lead to a high fever, dehydration, seizures, stroke and death.
If you don't think that it can happen to you or your kids, consider these descriptions from the death certificates of children from 1998 that were published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:
A 9 month old died after being 'left strapped in child safety seat in a sweltering minivan for two hours - misunderstanding between child's parents resulted in the child being left alone in the van; one parent believed infant was at home with other'
A 6 month old 'baby died when accidentally left in hot car for 3 hrs, died when outside 90-degree temperatures rose to 130 degrees inside closed car, parents thought the other had carried the baby from the car to crib'
A 34 month old 'toddler who recently learned how to open a car door apparently climbed inside family station wagon while parent and sibling were in house'
A 23 month old died when a 'relative babysitting child, put child in car for trip to store, went back in house having forgotten something, was distracted by something on television, sat on couch to watch, fell asleep, woke up two hours later'
A 2 year old died after a 'parent left child in car after returning home from errand - was left for more than an hour'
A 2 year old 'child apparently slipped away from parents and siblings, fell asleep atop blanket in unlocked car in driveway of home, oldest sibling found child 40 minutes later'
Always Always thank about your children first!

K2 "synthetic" marijuana
K2 contains the same active ingredient as marijuana. However, the synthetic cannabinoids in K2 are made in a lab and are not restricted by law.
K2 is a legal, smokable, herbal drug with chemical properties very similar to THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. Staff at Clemson University first created the drug that was until now primarily used as incense and plant food.
K2 is also addictive and produces side effects similar to marijuana.
Some people that have smoked K2 complain or feel the following anxiety, agitation, elevated blood pressure and fast heart rate after smoking the drug.
K2 is packaged and sold in four varieties in three gram packages bags for $15 to $30 a piece depending on what type of mixture.
Known as K2 Summit, K2 Blonde, K2 Citron, K2 Standard
Contained with in the mixture of K2 standard includes the following extracts and herbs: canavalia rosea,clematis vitalba,nelumbo nucifera, pedicularis grandifolia, heimia salicifolia, leonurus sibiricus and ledum palustre.
This was a hard one to find out more information on. Kansas is in the process of making it illegal in their state. The use of the K2 mixture was only recently introduced into the United States, although it has been popular in Great Britain since 2008 and was introduced in Germany about three years ago.
