Critter Alert!
|
|
 Summer is building season. If you live by areas that are under development or construction (Adalina, Providence Grove, Sanctuary, Watermere, etc) be sure to check dark corners, pool baskets, attics, garages and other places where snakes and vermin like to hide. Development stirs up dirt and those animals seek new homes. Don't let yours be one of them.

Pool Safety
|
|
 Shockingly, in 60% of child drowning incidents, the child was being "supervised" by one or more parents. Clearly these parents didn't intend for harm to come to their child. But the fact that that the child drowned while under their supervision shows that there's a lack of understanding about what it means to truly supervise children around water.
Here are some points to keep in mind:
- Maintain visual contact. Because a drowning happens silently, it's not enough to be in the general vicinity of a child in the water. You must be watching them at all times. This includes children who know how to swim.
- Practice touch supervision. When possible, get in the water with your children while they swim, and stay within arms reach of them. This will decrease the chances you'll get distracted and allow you to respond quickly if they need help.
- Eliminate distraction. Know yourself. If you're tempted to read your book or peruse your smart phone while you watch your children by the pool, leave these potential distractions in the house. Devote yourself fully to supervising. Pool time is not the time to multi-task.
Again, our thanks to Lonestar Lifesavers for these valueable tips.

 A luxury dine-in movie theater is coming to Keller Town Center.
The Keller City Council at its meeting Tuesday, April 16, approved a site plan and development incentive and performance agreement worth more than $500,000 for the developers of Moviehouse & Eatery, which hope to begin construction at 250 Rufe Snow Drive this summer and open by summer 2014.
