p > * ®o, after school or while your parents are running an errand? Do you have to watch a brother or sister too? You know your parents and I, McGruff, The Crime Dog, want you to be safe. Taking care of yourself is a big responsibility, but you can handle it if you follow these tips: — Make sure you know how to reach your parents where they work and what to do in case of a fire or other emergencies. Learn all the local emergency phone numbers - fire, police, hot-lines, poison control center - and make sure they're posted near all the phones in your home. — Be sure you know how to use the telephone correctly-both push- button and dial-and how to make local, long distance and emergency calls, and how to get the operator. — Check in with your mom or dad or a trusted neighbor as soon as you get home. Make sure you know how to work the door and window locks and lock the door after you come in. — When you’re home alone, never open the door for anyone you don’t know well or are unsure of. Check the identity of service people by calling their office before letting them in. And don’t let unfamiliar callers know that you're alone. — If you feel you're being fol- lowed on your way home from school, don’t go home — go to a store, or back to school, or to the nearest ‘‘Safe House.” — With your mom and dad, select a place to keep a key or keys and money for lunch or emergency phone calls. — Never go anywhere with another adult, even one who says he or she has been sent by your par- ents. You and your parents might want to adopt a secret ‘‘code word” as a signal if another adult has to pick you up. — If anything happens to you while you're alone that makes you feel uncomfortable, tell an adult you trust. Always. Every time.

PUC actson proposals The Public Utility Commission (PUC) recently acted on a number of proposals intended to assist cus- tomers having difficulty making payments on utility bills. As a byproduct, the PUC’s actions were meant to improve the way electric and natural gas companies handle consumers facing payment problems. The PUC voted on nearly 20 pro- posals submitted to it by its Bureau of Consumer Services after receiv- ing comments during informal hear- ings held throughout the state. The proposals consisted of options appli- cable to the larger electric and gas companies that are designed to alle- viate financial distress, prevent unnecessary terminations, and open up new approaches for dealing with payment troubled customers. The most significant recommen- dations approved by the PUC opened the door to reforms which would help curtail high energy con- sumption. The PUC voted to develop guidelines, for example, which, if eventually adopted, would require utilities to offer low interest loans and weatherization programs tar- geted to high usage, consumers in the utilities’ territory. The PUC also voted to encourage utilities to develop ‘Cares’ pro- grams, in which an employee of the utility works to help customers cut energy use and obtain financial aid. “ YOU ARE INVITED! exercise and nutrition.
