BRADFORD – “Safety first, kids, safety first.” I say that a lot. I also like to say “Make good choices.” I’d have to say those should be on a Top Five list some where.
Speaking of safety, I’ve read on Facebook that area towns have been getting hit pretty hard by garages and cars getting broken into during the day and night. How sad! Luckily, I haven’t heard of any recent break-ins in town. But I’ve resorted to making sure my outside lights are on. I usually feel like it’s a waste of electricity, but the last thing I want to do is make my house an easy target. I encourage you to do the same.
We must continue to be vigilant in keeping an eye out for your neighbor. If we cannot count on our neighbors to help keep us safe, then we really have a problem. Times are crazy right now. Our country is up in arms and heroin is delving into every nook and cranny it can. I hope you will join me in keeping out for one another and keeping our town safe. What would you recommend we do as neighbors to keep each other safe?
