HOW TO SAFEGUARD YOUR BELONGINGS AT THE AIRPORT - Part One

Laptops, cameras, and electronics are most often reported missing from checked and carry-on bags. But watch your wallets and purses at the airport -- and even on the plane! As in any public place, thieves are poised to strike while you are distracted.

If something disappears, tell every agency you can. The more places you report the loss to, the more likely it is to turn up. Notify the TSA and the airlines if something is missing. Also contact the State Police, who investigate just about any loss, anywhere at the airport. Both the TSA and the State Police have lost and found departments as well.

HOW TO GET KIDS MOVING

Do you have kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, or other children in your life? Here are some ideas for helping them to be more active:

Let them get dirty - Clothes, hands, feet, and just about anything else attached to a kid can get dirty during fun play. A little dirt when they're young beats heart disease when they get older.

Play with them - If a child is sitting around, go outside and show them games you played when you were a kid. When their friends are over, set up a "tournament" with a made-up activity. If they enjoy it, they'll want to do it when you're not around.

Have rules about electronics - For example, stipulate "no video games or t.v. until after dark." Keep electronics out of kids' rooms. This forces them to be creative and find other things to do.

Don't allow the phrase "I'm bored." - Kids are becoming accustomed to being constantly entertained, requiring no imagination on their part. If they say they're bored, give them chores to do, They may pretty quickly find an alternative to being bored!

Foster an active culture - If you exercise for the sake of fun, so will the kids.
