It's not funny get serious wear a helmet
A blunt public safety note urges wearing helmets to prevent injuries. The message underscores seriousness and advocates protective gear to avoid harm. It stresses immediate action rather than humor in safety practices.
Children receive awards for helmet safety at event
West awarded certificates to several youngsters for helping coordinate the event and modeling safe behavior. John Thomas earned a commendation for a poster reading It can be done with family help. Pike received a certificate and sunglasses as the group celebrated his recovery and warned about riding without helmets.
