Fall Safety.
Now that Autumn has arrived, it's definitely time to have fun--the SAFE way. To be on the safe side, please use these guidelines.

1. Use a helmet when riding your bike. Make sure that your reflectors are okay, and learn hand signals.
2. On cold, nippy days, make sure that your attire fits the weather.
3. Tell your 'rents where you are going, and when you will be back.

And here are some Halloween safety tips:
1. Trick-or-Treat with Mom, Dad, or friends. Never go alone.
2. Wear brightly colored clothing so the cars will see you.
3. Don't go in unfamiliar places. Go where you know!
4. Have Mom or Dad inspect your goodie bags when you get home.
5. If you are wearing a homemade costume, make sure that you can breathe.
6. Don't play tricks; it is mean.
And the most important rule: HAVE FUN!

REVIEW: GUYS NEXT DOOR. NBC, Saturday
The GUYS NEXT DOOR is a good program to watch. It is about five talented young men: Damon Sharpe, Chris Wolf, Bobby Leslie, Eddie Garcia, and Patrick Dancy. They show tasteful parody and laughable antics such as the "BAD HAIR DAY." The music videos shown are fun to watch, and the tunes are good to boogie down to. The cassette entitled GUYS NEXT DOOR, includes ten great songs.
