We will be covering the topics of child security, fitness, stretching, and personal security. If you have articles or comments you would like to submit please email them to warriors@warriorsrealm.net.

 

VALUES

I find it hard to believe that in this day and age respect is becoming a thing of the past. I believe we need to bring respect back to the communities and to ourselves. I believe we should all use the common courtesies of please, thank you, may I, excuse me, pardon me. We should respect other peoples privacy as well perhaps before we just walk up and start talking to someone perhaps it would be appropriate to say hi how are you do you have a moment? Perhaps that person doesn't look busy but maybe they are trying to prepare mentally for something. I think this would be a good month to focus on respect.

CHILD SECURITY

Security Do’s for Children (From the U.S. Department of State http://www.state.gov/m/ds/rls/rpt/19773.htm )
 

Teach children never to admit strangers into the home.

Teach children local emergency phone numbers, the mission number, and how to use the two-way radio. Make sure younger children know their name, address, and phone number.

Caution teenagers about “blind dates” or meeting anyone they do not know. 
 
Teach younger members of your family not to open mail or packages.
 
Teach young children how to answer the telephone so that they do not give out personal information, such as home address, absence of adults, etc. 
 
Teach children how to say no to strangers.
 
Teach children how to exit the house in case of emergency.
 
Hurricane Katrina
 
I thought I could take a moment and mention how devastating this storm has been to New Orleans and to Mississippi. How could you have prepared for such devastation I have heard many people say it is those peoples own fault for staying and we should not feel bad for those people. What I want to know is how could you not, Let's take a moment I have lived in the north east most of my life. If someone said I had to leave because of a storm I don't think I would. Would it be the wrong decision? Probably but If you leave, It would mean leaving everything you definitely could not pack your whole house and just leave. I wonder if most people thought the reports were worse then it actually would be. That things would not turn out as bad as it did. If you have the resources to send money. Please do I am sure many of the displaced people will appreciate it.
