> The online version will allow even more residents to get involved

> Cell phones and the Internet provide us with instant access to

> These are just a few of the issues you should consider talking to

> 7. How do you stay aware of your surroundings when you are

> 8. What do you consider to be courteous behavior while using a

> If your children know the rules for cell phone use as well as the
