Letter from the President

When I was a kid, summer meant long days riding my bike, playing at the beach and swimming in a nearby pool. When I was a teen, it meant going to parties, driving with friends and, well, being a teenager. But once I became a parent, all those things meant one thing: danger. So have a great time this summer with your family, but please, don’t let an accident ruin it. Here are a few tips to get you started:

  • Drowning is one of the leading causes of death among children of all ages, so make sure you never leave little ones unattended near water and that older children are properly supervised at the beach or pool.
  • Make sure kids wear helmets whenever they ride a bike—no exceptions. And teach them the basics of riding in traffic before letting them take their bikes in the street.
  • Always keep car doors and trunks locked whenever you leave your car unattended. And never leave a child alone in a vehicle, even for a few minutes. General Motors says that the temperature in a previously air-conditioned small car left in the sun can exceed 122° F. within 20 minutes. In 40 minutes, it can reach 150° F.
  • Before starting up your car, be sure to check all around for children and pets. And once you’re in the car, check one more time before you start to move.
  • The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day is the deadliest for drivers age 15-20. Do everything you can to ensure that your teenage kids understand the do’s and don’t of safe driving: don’t drink and drive; don’t text or use a cell phone while driving, don’t fool around with friends when driving, don’t speed and always wear a seat belt.
  • And when you’re driving, watch out for kids on bikes and inexperienced teenage drivers.

All the best,
Stanley J. Czwakiel
President, Cambridge Security Services

What a difference a year makes

A year ago, during prom season, teenagers were gathering in huge numbers along the Jersey shore, hanging out all along the boardwalk, filling up hotel rooms and providing the whole area with a welcome, if sometime rowdy energy. This year, the scene is very different.
