It is our position that the longer days and sprouting flowers can only mean one thing – spring is upon us. While we are eager to welcome the return of blue skies and green grass to displace the dingy grey that follows Indiana winter, we are also reminded that higher temperatures and March Madness likewise serve to indicate that we must be vigilant for kids darting out into the streets and lanes of our fine community. Cooped up for many long months (we’re talking about the parents and kids alike), many youngsters are breaking out the bicycles even before all of the snow is gone.
Spring Break is just around the corner and yard sale signs are again dotting the landscape. And yet as we send our kids out to burn off some winter-stored calories, many of these children have forgotten the basics of traffic safety. Parents, now is the time for a refresher course on the outdoor rules. It is amazing how quickly we forget them. And also, please remember to watch out for those children that are all too rushed to see the sun. With a little attention, we should all make the happy transition without incident.
