Thursday's story ideas

Prepaid funerals. Many people paid for these so long ago only to find out companies have changed hands and they're left with nothing. Or actually, their relatives are when they die. Are these a good idea and how can you protect yourself?


The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program is changing. (It provides food for millions of needy people.) They will now be able to get vouchers for fruits, veggies and whole grains.


Snow shoveling for adults. It may seem like good exercise, but it taxes your heart, even if you're a young adult.


Noisy toys can do long term damage to children's hearing. It seems some can reach the decibel level of a chainsaw. Parents everywhere are applauding this study.


Teenage birth rate rises for the first time in 15 years. What's the deal in your market, and what are adults doing about it?


The big holiday travel week is about two weeks out... are there still bargains to be had?
