THE SAVANNAH Our first world circle of life dictates that we show the following generations the movies we grew up watching.

Ive had the pleasure of introducing younger generations to The Goonies, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Anne of Green Gables, (RIP, Jonathan Crombie) Labyrinth and dozens of Disney live-action and animation films.

Out of all the films Ive introduced to small to medium-sized humans, Id venture to say that we collectively share Disney animations films with younger generations the most. Theres just something irresistible and charming about the music, the colors and the wonderment wrapped up into a presentation of fairy tales old and new. Theyre just begging to be shared.

But what we dont always count on is each childs reaction to what were showing him or her. Just like I didnt expect my nephew to run in fear when Cruella de Vil goes into a rage in 101 Dalmatians, Im not sure this dad expected his small daughter to be quietly and tearfully touched as she watches Mufasa die in her reportedly first viewing of The Lion King. The 53-second video will truly melt your heart.

Its good thing her daddy was there to give her a hug and a cuddle in her time of need.

Grant funding totaling $93,458 has been awarded to the Georgia Motorcycle Safety Program (GMSP) by the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. The approved funding will be used to increase motorcycle safety awareness and outreach by encouraging all motorists and motorcyclists to Share the Road.

“The need for motorcycle safety programs is greater than ever, and this support from GOHS enables motorcycle safety programs and impaired riding initiatives to reach riders and non-riders alike” said Commissioner Spencer R. Moore. “Thank you GOHS for helping (the Department of Driver Services) and GMSP educate and encourage all Georgia drivers to ‘Share the Road.’”

The grant allows DDS to further develop the Motorcycle Safety Outreach Program by continuing to fund a position to promote state and national safety initiatives. The GMSP outreach coordinator researches, coordinates and helps maintain an adequate presence at industry events, local schools and colleges, regional meetings and festivals to increase awareness of motorcycles on the roadways and provide the most current information on motorcycle safety initiatives.

Visitors to a GMSP event display are also encouraged to sign up for regular newsletters which provide additional safety information, as well as review the motorcycle safety message on other social media platforms.

GMSP regulates motorcycle training for new riders, as well as seasoned riders, who want to learn how to ride a motorcycle legally and safely. The program is based on a continuum of learning and therefore offers three entry points to rider education.

Students participating in the Basic Riders Course do not need specialized motorcycle equipment, as the GMSP provides both a motorcycle and a helmet to class participants. Upon successful completion of the course, participants receive a 90-day license waiver card that exempts them from both the written and on-cycle skills tests needed to obtain a Class M license in the state of Georgia.

Please visit the DDS website at www.dds.georgia.gov for many online services including the convenience of enrolling in a GMSP training class and accessing many licensing services.
