MEOWINGTON If youve spent any time singing songs as a kid, chances are youre familiar with the childrens classic If Youre Happy and You Know It.

As you probably know, the song encourages anyone who is happy to clap their hands, stomp their feet and shout hooray! But what if youre a cat and youre happy? How then are you supposed to express your joy?

Well, a cat champion has emerged to lead cats everywhere in expressing their happiness. In the video, a man sings the familiar song in Portuguese to his pretty kitty, and right on cue the cat expresses his happiness with a hearty meow.

I fully admit that its silly, but I will also tell you that its also charming and worth 15 seconds of your time to brighten your day. I watched it three times in a row, personally.

Now that the cats have a champion (I know were all relieved), which creature will step forward for the tyrannosaurus rex, another creature that cannot express its joy by clapping its hands? Only time, and maybe the new Jurassic World movie, will tell.

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.
