Safety in Keys: Carteret & Craven County
I never would have thought of this;
PUT YOUR CAR KEYS BESIDE YOUR BED AT NIGHT!!!
Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr.'s Office, the check out girl at the market, everyone you run across.
Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car.
The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation.
Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage.
If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break in your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around... After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that!
And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there.
This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or prevent a sexual assault.
My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn't hear him. He can activate the car alarm and then she'll know there's a problem.
It would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone.
What a GREAT idea!
This is something that Agents can use as a free safety device while showing homes. If something goes wrong, just hit your panic button!!!

Newport in Carteret County, NC gets $500,000 to create a New Park.
Site is next to middle school in Newport
NEWPORT - Carteret County earned a state grant that will move a much anticipated park project for the Newport area toward construction.
The grant will help fund the development of new park and recreation facilities on 11 acres adjacent to Newport Middle School.
Carteret County must contribute matching funds.
This is great news.
The county submitted its application for the PARTF grant in January after both the Carteret County Board of Commissioners and the Carteret County Board of Education had approved a Memorandum of Understanding for use of the unused 11 acres next to the school for a district park that would serve county residents as well as school students.
If all goes as planned the park will include six lighted tennis courts, a 5,000-square-foot recreation center, youth soccer fields, outdoor basketball court, restroom and concession facility, a playground, parking area and walking trail.
Improvements planned by the county to the existing facilities include landscaping, lighting and expansion of the walking trails.
Newport is a great place to raise a family. We are fortunate to live in a community that cares for its people.
Newport has several newer subdivisions such as , Gracelyn Park and South Park with homes ready to move in.
Contact Teresa or Stacy for any real estate needs. If you are not ready to meet in person, please view our website for helpful information. www.coastalhomesource.com
Pictures of our wonderful Newport Park on Howard Blvd. We love taking our children and grandchildren to play here.
The new park will be a great new addition to Newport and will provide a larger area with more options for the community to enjoy.
Winchell Competes in World Championship Golf Tourney
by Josie Mullins, Newport Voice
Newport may boast the next Tiger Woods in 6-year-old Hayden Winchell.  He competed at the U. S. Kids Golf World Championship in Pinehurst July 31 through August 2 and finished with a 79th ranking in the world for the 6-year-old age group. He finished 11th in the putting competition.
Hayden says his dad, Dan, got him started playing golf and now he plays a lot. During the summer he can be found at the Golf Farm or on a golf course honing his skills.
"He has a lot of natural ability," says Winchell's coach, Nina Foust. "You just want to guide him so his grip and posture doesn't get off. What we really need to work on now is his short game. That's what really hurt him at Pinehurst."
Hayden was sick during the tournament with an ear infection but the up and coming star fought his way through to land him a world ranking.
Hayden played nine holes a day with two other competitors. In his age group there were 84 kids competing and all together 35 countries were represented.
The U.S. Kids Golf World Championship enjoyed its seventh year of competition this year and had more than 950 international children, ages 4-12, compete. This is the largest golf tournament for children ages 4-12.
