Most kids today don’t have first-hand recollections of the events of Sept. 11th, because they were too young, or weren’t born yet


As the 10th anniversary of the attacks approaches, Nick News with Linda Ellerbee will give kids their own forum to talk about the events of that day, address some of their misconceptions and answer their questions, in”What Happened?: The Story of September 11, 2001,” premiering Thursday, Sept. 1st at 9pm on Nickelodeon. It’s commercial-free and complemented with an online discussion guide for parents, educators and caregivers. The guide is available on TheBigHelp.com, Nick’s prosocial online hub; Nickelodeon’s ParentsConnect.com, the network’s online resource for parenting advice and community; and www.apa.org.

MAJOR PURCHASES TYPICALLY ON SALE: New cars from current year model after new model introduction of next year’s models (NMI), furniture, air conditioners.

Tips for seniors, students heading back to college and families, as a reminder that taking extra precautions while traveling can help ensure a safe trip


The itinerary should list destination names, addresses, phone #s & related ticket numbers. Also include a listing of passport plus traveler’s checks and credit card numbers. Money should be taken in the form of traveler’s checks rather than cash. While out hold purses under an arm and don’t allow purse straps to dangle. Cars may also be stolen. To decrease the chances of a car becoming a target for a thief, always lock the doors. At the same time, keep all valuables out of sight and always remove the keys from the ignition. For more information visit http://www.tedmayrfuneralhome.com or call (805) 643-9977.
