Fascinating 4th of JULY FACTS The Continental Congress voted for independence on July 2, 1776. The Declaration of Independence was formally adopted on July 4th. In 1781, Massachusetts became the first state to declare the 4th of July an official state holiday. George Washington celebrated the July 4th holiday by giving his soldiers a double ration of rum. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4, 1826. Prior to the Civil War, it was deemed unpatriotic for business owners to keep their establishments open on July 4th. The Star Spangled Banner became the United States' national anthem in 1931. There have been 27 versions of the U.S. Flag. Today's version of the flag came to be following the addition of the 50th star in 1960 to represent Hawaii. There are more than 314 million people living in the United States today, but there were just 2.5 million in 1776. Americans consume approximately 150 million hot dogs every July 4th. Americans spend more than $1 billion on fireworks annually.

Park Inspections
Teach them to ride with traffic, not against it Make sure they ride on the right-hand side of the road Avoid riding when it’s dark or in bad weather Use lights, bright clothing and reflective materials to make it easier for cars to spot you and your child Make sure children are supervised by adults until they have a good handle of traffic skills and judgment Here are a few tips to make sure kids are safe while bicycling: Teach kids the rules of the road:
condition of skirting, paint and fascia condition of steps, decks and awning condition of fence cleanliness of yard and porches anything that goes against the Rules and Regs Mobile home inspections have begun! Sue and Alex are walking around the neighborhood inspecting yards and the exterior of your houses. Don't be surprised if you see them in your backyard or side yard. If there is something they see that needs to be done, you will be given a notification. The notification usually states the work that needs to be done and also a time frame for that work. We are specifically looking for:
Teach kids to use hand signals when turning:
Saftey for Children on Bikes and E-bikes
Left turn - Extend your left arm straight out, parallel to the road Right turn - Extend your left upper-arm out to the left, bending your elbow up and pointing your fingertips up; or extend your right arm straight out to your right side, parallel to the road Stop - Extend your left upper arm out to the left, parallel to the road and bend your elbow down and point your fingers to the ground Slow- With your arm outstretched, palm- down, and slightly behind you so cyclists behind you get a clear view of your hand, move your hand up and down at the wrist to indicate that you’re about to slow.
Nothing beats the excitement a child feels when they learn how to ride a bicycle for the first time. But with this new found skill comes the responsibility of learning how to be a safe bicyclist. Bicycles have been associated with more childhood injuries than any other consumer product aside from cars, and more children ages 5 to 14 are seen in emergency departments for injuries related to biking than any other sport. Luckily, wearing a properly fitted helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85% (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 2009). And in California, children under the age of 18 are required by law to wear a helmet when riding.
