| Childproofing your home
Tisha Hughes remembered the "defining moment" when she knew it was time to step up childproofing her home to protect her 10-month-old son, Cameron. Cameron, a proficient crawler who's mastered the art of pulling himself up to stand while holding onto furniture, was puttering around the dining room one day when he decided to use a chair to help him stand. "When he pulled up on the chair, it fell backward and hit him on the forehead," she recalled. Fortunately, Cameron wasn't injured. But his mother was "pretty freaked out" by the incident. Soon after, the Hugheses had a big garage sale. Many of the decorative items in their Modesto home - including tablecloths, sconces, candles, floor lamps and a curio cabinet filled with commemorate shot glasses - were now seen as potential hazards for Cameron, so out they went.

Roads, lights, park and grants versus ceramah
MACHAP (April 11, 2007): Sharifah Roshaini Ishak, 35, never imagined that in her lifetime, she would get to meet Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak in person. "Within three days, I met the deputy premier twice. Normally, I just see him on TV," the elated settler from Felda Hutan Percha said, when met after Najib's gathering with the settlers here on Monday (April 9). Felda Hutan Percha - a largely Malay area and a Barisan Nasional stronghold - falls under the Machap state constituency. The normally quiet town is bustling because of the by-election campaign, which ended today. Voters cast their ballots tomorrow. In the 2004 general election, out of the 860 eligible voters in this settlement, BN candidate, the late Datuk Poh Ah Tiam, garnered 758 votes, while DAP's Liou Chen Kuang secured only 87.
