If anyone needed a wake up call to wear a reflector at night this unfortunate story should do it.
This past Monday in Lakewood Township (NJ) at 5:00 PM a child on a bike was hit by a car. Two hours later a 17 yr old was hit less than a mile away from the first accident. Both victims were very lucky to suffer only minor injuries thank G-D.
Unfortunately most pedestrians that are struck by vehicles are not so lucky. It is worth the extra minute and the few dollars to wear reflective gear. The roads are dark and I am sure all of as can recall a time when we were driving and almost did not see someone walking or riding in the dark street.
If you live in Lakewood or anywhere else and go out at night please do yourself and everyone else a favor and put on a reflector. The mayor of Lakewood has announced that he has reflective belts available for free at his office. (Donated by the Ocean County Traffic and Safety Division.)

Lakewood Township took a stand and stopped paying the electric bill to JCP&L because of the many burnt out street lights.
They didn't just "stand by" and wait for the lights to get fixed. Last night while most of us were sleeping "Project Lights On" was in full swing until after 2 in the morning.
About 40 volunteers combed the streets of Lakewood equipped with flashlights, reflective belts and clipboards marking down over 300 burnt out lights. Mayor Miller said he would not go to sleep until he was sure that every single pole in town was accounted for.

October is walk to school month and today October 5th is walk to school day.
The walk started in 1994 in Great Britain with a couple of schools and now has expanded to 40 countries and millions of walkers participating. (You can read more about it at www.iwalktoschool.org )
Walking or biking to school keeps kids healthy, and improves the air quality and environment. Of course safety is a great concern and with the help of the National Safe Routes to School program many safety measures are taken in the US to insure our children a safe walk to school.
Wearing reflective gear is a good idea because visibility can be low on a foggy or cloudy day or it may not be totally light yet. Some good ideas for children walking to school are Reflective stick-ons for coats and bags, reflective backpacks and a reflective collar. Please let us know your safety ideas for kids.
(You can still use our coupon code SchoolSave20 for 20% off all of our reflective tapes and accessories!)

 Police departments across the country entertain and teach about safety with a a night full of fun every August. I have taken my kids to this event a couple of times (in Lakewood, NJ) and we had a truly enjoyable time. In the past, in addition to the free rides, food, bike raffles and the exciting Dunk a Cop they also gave out reflectors, helmets and safety coloring books (all donated by various local business and organizations). Check out your township or city website and let us know about the event near you.
