By Barrett Vanlandingham
By the time you read this, Lord willing, I will have already sung at an elderly friend's funeral on Wednesday, gone through a colonoscopy Thursday, gotten the results, recovered, reported for jury duty Friday morning, and attended a weekend youth rally in Arkansas!
Yes I know that's a lot to cram into the second half of my week, but I am not going to complain, considering I talk to people every week who have it much worse.
I have written many articles and lessons on the topics of worry, stress, fear, and giving it over to God. But at this moment I find myself guilty of not approaching any of these topics the right way in my personal life. Please forgive me if you think this makes me a hypocrite? Hopefully, it makes me human.
Fear of the unknown is something we all have to deal with. Even Jesus, though He was God in the flesh, was only made perfect through suffering (Heb. 2:10). He not only understands us better because of His suffering, but His acts of self-sacrifice also satisfy our human need to feel that Jesus has been in our shoes.
Certainly, Jesus could have used His supernatural ability to empathize with us. But He knew we would view that as taking the easy way out. So, He was tempted in every way, and in His weakest moment even pleaded with His Father to change His mind about the cross.
Jesus wanted mankind to know without a doubt that He was sincere in His love for us. He wanted us to be confident He understands our struggles enough to show us mercy (Hebrews 4:15-16). His life here on earth was the ultimate act of compassion, and simply put, He doesn't want us to worry, period! (Matthew 6:25-34) He simply wants us to be compelled enough by His love to choose Him (2 Corinthians 5:14). Jesus will do the rest.
The apostle Paul said it well when he compared our earthly body to a temporary tent that we will eventually exchange for a heavenly dwelling (2 Cor. 5:1-5). I appreciate mature Christians who not only understand that this world is not our home, but our bodies are not ours to keep. They are only a tool to do the Lord's work for a short while (Matt. 28:18-20).
May God bless us all with peace as we strive to unload our burdens at the feet of Jesus (Matt. 11:28), who promises to give us rest in our time of need. Have a great week!

Human rights groups are appropriately appalled by the breadth of a U.S. Supreme Court decision this week that would make it exceedingly difficult for some victims of human rights abuses committed in other countries to win redress in U.S. courts.
Led by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., a self-proclaimed foe of judicial activism, the court reined in the use of a 1789 law known as the Alien Tort Statute, which gives federal courts jurisdiction over "any civil action by an alien for a tort committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States." Although the statute was inspired by concerns about attacks on ambassadors and piracy on the high seas in the 18th century, its expansive language has been used in recent years to justify lawsuits in U.S. courts by victims of torture abroad.

Hoophouse Depreciation in 7 easy steps!
By Laura Haselhuhn
This blog post will explain depreciation and how to use it for decision making and comparing crop profitability in just seven easy steps.
Depreciation is spreading the cost of a large item (such as a building, equipment, machinery, etc), over the years of its useful life. The general formula for depreciation is:
(total cost – salvage value) / years of useful life = annual depreciation cost
So for example a tractor that costs $11,000, and will last 10 years, and is say worth $1,000 after ten years, has a depreciation cost of ($11,000-$1,000)/10 = $1,00 per year to use. In this example we will show how to assign the depreciation cost to have/use the hoophouse in a way that makes sense for decision making purposes. This is NOT a way to assign it for tax purposes. To learn how to accurately assign depreciation for tax purposes, consult a certified public accountant.
1. Calculate the total amount to depreciate:
(Total cost – salvage value) / years of useful life = annual depreciation cost
What to include in the amount to depreciate? For tax purposes your answer will be different, but for decision making purposes, here is how it makes the most sense:
Total Hoophouse Cost to depreciation = Materials + Construction Labor - Cost of Plastic
This is the amount of money it would take you to build another one just like it. The cost of the poly is subtracted from the total cost because the poly only lasts 4 years (not 20), so it will need to be depreciated separately. This is not how it would be done for tax purposes, but it is how it should be done for decision making purposes.
2. Estimate Salvage Value:
(Total cost – salvage value) / years of useful life = annual depreciation cost
Salvage value is the amount the item will be worth at the end of its useful life. Since we chose 20 years for the hoophouse to last, we will be conservative and estimate that after the 20 years the hoophouse will be worth $0. We do this because we are unsure of: the condition it will be in 20 years, the scrap metal prices 20 years, if there will be a resale market for hoophouses in 20 years. So we will be conservative and estimate that it will be worth $0 at the end of its 20 year life.
If however you only plan to farm for say 5 years and plan to sell the house afterwards, do some research on what aftermarket older hoophouse frames sell for, and make a conservative guess as to what the salvage value will be.
3. Decide the number of years to divide the cost over:
(Total cost – salvage value) / years of useful life = annual depreciation cost
Now let's sidetrack for one moment to depreciation and taxes. For tax purposes many farms depreciate the hoophouse over 1, 2, or 10 years, their number of years depends on what the IRS allows for. For tax purposes this is a fine way to do things as it may allow a farm to report minimal income one year (a tax shield from depreciation).
However for decision making & purposes it is not accurate, because it clumps the expense of the hoophouse in the beginning of its useful life; and doesn't spread it evenly throughout. Since the purpose of the post is not to explain how to depreciate the hoophouse on your tax return but to explain how to accurately spread out the cost of the hoophouse over its useful life, in order to make accurate decisions, we will do things differently.
For comparison purposes, we should divide the cost of the house over the years of useful life. We estimate that to be 20 years.
Now we have all of the pieces for the formula:
(total cost – salvage value) / years of useful life = annual depreciation cost
($10,000 - $0) / 20 = $500 annual depreciation cost per year.
If you plan be in the farming business for say only 10 years, then you might decide to depreciate the house over 10 years and estimate a higher salvage value at the end of ten years.
4. Breaking down the annual depreciation cost to assign to the crops:
Now that you have the annual cost for the hoophouse, it is time to break it down to an amount that can be easily assigned to each crop grown in the hoophouse. The general formula is:
Annual depreciation cost / number of days in use per year / sq ft in production = Total cost per square foot per day.
To calculate this you must answer the following questions:
a) How many days of the year will the hoophouse have crops in it?
b) How many square feet of the hoophouse will be in production?
Building off of our example:
a) We plan to have crops in the house from February 15th - November 25th = 284 days
b) Total Square footage in production: 20 beds that are 3 x 28 = 1680 square feet in production
Now we take the annual cost: $500 and divide it by the square footage and the days in production.
$500 / 1680 square feet / 284 days = $0.00104 per square foot per day.
Now this may seem like a small number, but it adds up quickly.
5. Charge each crop "rent" for the time and space it takes:
Now charge each crop in the house "rent" for the time and space that it takes up. For example in the summer say I have 10 beds of cucumber (840 square feet) in the house for 90 days.
90 days x 840 square feet x $0.00104 per square foot per day = $79.22.
So $79.22 is the cost to use the hoophouse for that cucumber crop. This cost should be included in your crop enterprise budget (more on crop enterprise budgets later),
6. Don't forget the cost of the poly!
To reach depreciation cost of poly, do it in the same way as above:
(Cost of poly –salvage value) / years it will last / days in use per year / square footage in production
We assume that the salvage value of the plastic is $0.
$500/4 years it will last / 284 days in use per year (Feb 15- Nov 25) / 1680 sq ft in production =
$0.000262 per square foot per day
Assign it to the crop: Cucumbers, 840 square feet for 90 days
840 square feet x 90 days x $0.000262 = $19.80, cost of poly for the cucumber crop
7. How this fits into the crop enterprise budget:
Here is a quick look at how a crop enterprise budget would look for cucumbers:
Cucumber Revenue (price x quantity sold)
- Direct costs (transplant costs, cucumber seed, compost, direct labor for transplants, planting, stringing up, watering, weeding, harvesting)
- Overhead costs (marketing, selling, recordkeeping, overhead labor)
- $79.22, (Depreciation costs of hoophouse)
- $19.80, (Depreciation costs of poly)
= Profit for that crop
It takes a bit of recordkeeping, but once in the habit of it, it is easy to do. All that you need to track to reach these numbers is: square footage of each crop, plant dates, harvest/removal from bed dates, total cost to put hoophouse into production, and the cost of the poly. Once you have the costs assigned, you can then begin to compare crop profitability fairly and make decisions to grow the crops that are most profitable given the amount of time and space that they take up in the hoophouse.
Thanks and happy hoophouse farming!

Phone: 310-595-6633 Hometown: Los Angeles Birthday: Aug. 3 Bio: I was born in San Pedro, Calif., and raised in Gardena and Anaheim. I went to UCLA and graduated with a degree in political science, with an emphasis on international relations. I currently live in Venice. My favorite writers in no particular order are Ernest Hemingway, Charles Bukowski, Henry Miller, Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Bishop, Dashiell Hammett, D.H. Lawrence, Raymond Chandler, Voltaire and Joan Didion. My two favorite reference books are "A Dictionary of Symbols" and "The Owner's Manual for The Brain." I was a wrestler in high school and No. 1 varsity tennis player. I ran a few marathons in my youth. Currently, I enjoy bike riding and going to the beach. My journalism career dates back to the early 1990s and I've learned a lot from the reporters and editors I've worked with over the years. I'm grateful for their professional generosity and friendship. My Beliefs At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for you to inject your beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that your beliefs are on the record will cause you to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know. Politics How would you describe your political beliefs? I was a political science major, so I could go on and on and on. I'll say this, the U.S. Constitution is probably the last great political document written. The challenge for all of us is to build a political system from the White House to the local neighborhood council that lives up to that document's ideals. To that end, I understand how a conservative approach to politics has it merits when you consider that we're dealing with monolithic structures that are not prone to dramatic change. On the other hand, the liberal approach to politics fueled the American Revolution and has helped secure many of our basic individual rights and freedoms. UPDATE 3/2/2011: In the interest of transparency, I would like to note that I have a family connection in the upcoming race to fill the vacant seat in the 36th Congressional District. My uncle, Daniel Chavez, is the campaign manager for Debra Bowen. As a result, I will not be covering Bowen directly. Are you registered with a certain party? Independent. Religion How religious would you consider yourself? (casual, observant, devout, non religious) I was raised Catholic, but I'm currently not a member of any religious organization. Local Hot-Button Issues What do you think are the most important issues facing the community? Balancing development and future land-use planning with the need to maintain or improve the quality of life for residents is probably the one major issue. Coastal access is also a major issue. Generally, I see public health, public safety, poverty and politics as key issues in any community. Where do you stand on each of these issues? I don't particularly have a stance on these issues. I do, however, think they all should be handled openly and with transparency and there should be a high degree of public participation.

---- — This will be one of the most interesting election seasons in years around here. The Press-Republican provid
es the premiere local outlet for people to share their views on the candidates.
Notable races in high-profile communities and a full slate of town races will make Nov. 5 a busy day. And we know that in the weeks leading up to it, many people will want to express their opinions.
In the City of Plattsburgh, the races for mayor and Common Council seats have already brought a flood of Letters to the Editor. County-level races are also being held all over the North Country. Furthermore, it is town election year, which means that most communities will have positions up for grabs.
The best way to make your opinion known about people who run for office is through a Letter to the Editor. Because we receive so many around this time of year, the Press-Republican sets an election-letter deadline. We want to give you plenty of time to compose your thoughts and get a letter to us, but we also need time to get them all on the editorial page before vote day is upon us.
The deadline this year for election letters is 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23. That gives us just under two weeks to get all the final letters processed and published.
We urge people not to wait until the last week to send a letter. Start those letters coming now. Don't worry about people forgetting your points. Letters produce strong name recognition and help candidates and their supporters get their message out directly.
We do have some rules for letters:
▶ They can't be more than 300 words long.
We use a computer count on letters and will return them to you for trimming if they exceed the length limit. So don't waste time going through that process.
▶ All letters must have the name, address and phone number of the writer.
We shouldn't have to say this, but you can't use a pen name or fake name. That is unethical. And you shouldn't have someone else write the letter and then stick your name on it. Honest opinions require honesty in authorship.
▶ We won't print letters that could be libelous (such as accusing a person of illegal acts) or that use hate language.
Please respect the fact that people who run for office are a little courageous. They are putting themselves out there for judgment by the voters. That isn't easy. If you want to criticize their stand on an issue, be respectful and stick to the facts.
Feedback on specific candidates is not allowed in Speakout, and online comments are monitored.
The best way to send letters is to email them directly to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can also fax them to 561-3362 or mail typed or legibly handwritten letters to Press-Republican, PO Box 459, Plattsburgh NY 12901. But those letters have to be scanned or retyped, so they take longer to get in.
Newspapers offer the best outlet for public expression about candidates. Use us.

European stock markets fell sharply, alongside drooping commodities, as investors fretted that the US Federal Reserve could stop its stimulus programme sooner than previously expected, threatening to take the zing out of financial markets.
A tight pack of mining shares led Britain's FTSE 100 down 1.2%, sliding back towards 6,300 after having breached the key 6,400 level yesterday. With losses ranging from 3% to 6%, ENRC (ENRC.L), Kazakhmys (KAZ.L), BHP Billiton (BLT.L), Randgold (RRS.L) and Xstrata (XTA.L) led the blue chip index down to 6,312.
German shares fell by 1%, while losses on the French and Spanish benchmark indices were nearer the -2% mark.
Wall Street and Asian shares had fallen overnight, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index registering its biggest decline since November, after the minutes from the Federal Reserve's last meeting showed a debate over further stimulus action.
Many officials raised concern last month over potential costs of more asset purchases, suggesting that the QE programme may slow before the pickup in hiring it was intended to deliver. This would remove a key source of support for equity markets and commodity prices around the world.
'For the moment, the Fed board members still have the upper hand, and so any imminent changes to the current QE setting of $40bn of MBS purchases and $45bn of Treasury purchases, are likely to be modest, commented Rob Carnell of ING Bank.
'But the genie is out of the bottle, and markets may well start to anticipate greater changes to monetary policy, and far sooner than had been previously priced in,' he added.
The oil price continued this week's slump after the news, with Brent crude futures trading down nearly 1% at $114.5 per barrel. Oil has been sold off on the back of rumours that a commodity fund has been selling down big positions.
Gold recovered slightly after a sharp fall, climbing back up to $1,565. 'It seems gold is so much out of favour that not even a disagreement among policy makers could trigger a price recovery,' said Angus Campbell of Capital Spreads.
The pound continued to weaken after falling sharply yesterday when minutes from the Bank of England's latest policy meeting showed a greater tilt towards more QE. Sterling was down 0.3% against the dollar to $1.5180 and off 0.16% against the euro to €1.1450. With the US dollar rising, the single currency itself also fell victim to the sell-off, falling to a six week low, down 0.5% to $1.3215.

Fresh Mozzarella Pasta Salad45 Reviews 7 Pics
Prep15 m
Cook10 m
Ready In25 m
"A take on a traditional Caprese, but modified into a light summer pasta salad that goes great with anything off the grill, or just on its own. When I eat it on its own, I sometimes add about a cup of any chunked, cold sausage (I suggest pepperoni or a lighter summer sausage). Any pasta is fine, but I like the orzo's size. "

- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the orzo, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain well, and let cool.
- Mix the mozzarella cheese cubes, tomatoes, basil, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt with olive oil in a salad bowl. Gently mix in the orzo pasta, and toss lightly to coat the ingredients with oil.

Awesome and so easy! Since other reviewers said this was too bland, I just mixed the orzo, mozzarella, vine ripe tomatoes, and fresh basil with a little Italian dressing. Worked like a charm. Didn't need the red pepper, olive oil, or anything else, but make sure the mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil are fresh!! Otherwise, there isn't any point of making this type of dish. Very good salad!
The simple, beautiful and fresh Caprese salad is perfection on a plate in my view. Vine-ripened tomatoes, just-picked basil, and fresh mozzarella (the colors of the Italian flag) is a flavorful combination. Orzo, which we typically used as soup pasta as I grew up, has gained enormous popularity in delis and homes everywhere as a side dish, be it hot, cold or room temperature. It would seem, then, that pairing the orzo with the Caprese would be a match made in heaven. But while hubs and I did enjoy this, we both felt it fell a little short of perfection, needing something we couldn't quite put our fingers on. Lemon juice maybe? I did leave out the red pepper flakes, and had I included it I think a teaspoon would be WAY overkill. Tip: Basil oxidizes and turns black quickly after cutting. I found that coating it with a little olive oil first helps prevent that! This was definitely a decent pasta salad, but I think maybe I just prefer my Caprese salad straight up!
MMM...this is one of my favorite recipes! We take it to all of our summer events. Yum, yum. Add pine nuts for a little twist.

Next up is the latest by ohGr -- clearly a band with no capitalization and no spelling skills -- the album is the prophetic "Undeveloped" and it's on Metropolis Records. Let's get right to it -- this band really sucks -- they stink underwater. There's some electronic music now and again but too much of this is a strident guy berating someone who doubtless quite listening long ago. This ohGr could make a real (animated) ogre like Shrek smash and bash and crash and stomp and bust and burn after a few minutes of this stuff. It all crystallized perfectly when I consulted the first sentence of Wikipedia since this CD did not come with a band bio -- anyway, I saw the words Skinny Puppy, another horrible band. Then again, if people like this can get a record deal, there is clearly hope for your pathetic little band.

When's that scheduled for then? :D
When's that scheduled for then? :D
OMG, I havnt been on here in a while but im glad i checked in again, pls let LucasArts be the one releasing the 25 games with GOG.
considering the success of Tales of Monkey Island, I can't see why there wouldn't be a 2nd season. Though it seems that Telltale have a busy schedule, so we may have to be patient.
I am predicting that in 2012, we will see a 2nd season and 2013 we will see Sam and Max Season 4. I would love to be proved right.
The Dear LucasArts project is ON! I'm getting every single post you guys wrote, right now!
I should have the file in a couple of hours. :)
I strongly believe we've waited long enough past the original date. Don't you agree?
*gathering posts*
EDIT: Aaaand here it is!
We have 32 letters so far. Do you think we can gather more?
P.S. I also posted a thread on the adventure gamers forum. It's a good start so far! C'mon people, join in! :D Just a short paragraph!
What if we did a I Wonder What Happens in Tales of Monkey Island 2? Maybe that could also excite people at LucasArts and TellTale...
Just a thought.
Lucas needs to let TTG do another series! Look at all the creativity that come from the community when we found out a new game was being made. The happiness it brought to people that thought it was over and dead only to see it rise again like a phoenix. They gotta let us see what comes of the revelations in Tales!
I want to see where they are planning on going with the connection between the Voodoo lady and Morgan... I also want to see them have LeChuck be evil the entire game.. and I would like then to have the challenge of bringing us a "New" version of LeChuck... I vote hulking monster LeChuck.
I would like a new Monkey Island game, well LucasArts are the only ones who can do a "fifth" game. TOMI isn't officially classed as MI 5 as both LA and TellTale have both said this. I think LucasArts have already stated they don't want to do an SE for COMI and EFMI, rumours are they're doing a SE for Maniac Mansion to coincide with the games 25th anniversary next year and the 25th anniversary of the SCUMM engine.
COMI and EFMI will most likely get re-released on GOG.com since LucasArts are one of the three rumoured companies that GOG have been speaking with to get titles re-released on their site either this summer or in the fall.
@Threepwood4Life said: I would like a new Monkey Island game, well LucasArts are the only ones who can do a "fifth" game. TOMI isn't officially classed as MI 5 as both LA and TellTale have both said this
Glad to see this project in action again! :D
We already got a good stack of letters, but I hope there's more to come.
And I hope we don't need to drag this out for too long either. I wanna see this happen!

Rather than focus on one topic, this month's editorial will be something of a goulash.
First: this month's cover.
I suppose it's possible that someone could look at the cover on this issue and think, "oh, that's nice," and move on without a blink. Possible, but hard to imagine. That's because this month's cover painting is by a giant in the RPG industry: none other than Larry Elmore himself.
I'd like to be able to say that Larry's return to Dungeon magazine was my doing, but I can't. For that, we can thank our hard-working, long-suffering art director, Mr. Jon Schindehette. Jon puts up with mountains of grief from me, and then he turns around and delivers a Larry Elmore cover to help celebrate the release of the new Dungeons & Dragons Red Box edition.
My association with Larry goes back to the very early 1980s, when he was hired by TSR. Larry became an instant star thanks to his tremendous talent. For almost two decades, Elmore art was synonymous with D&D and AD&D.
Of the hundreds of covers that Larry painted, the one that probably was seen by more eyes than any other—possibly by more eyes than any other D&D painting, period—was the cover of the 1984 "red box" edition of Basic D&D, the box that introduced countless tens of thousands of newcomers to the world of roleplaying games. That same, great piece of fantasy art is back again as the cover of the new Red Box, and we got a companion piece to go with this month's feature adventure, "Dungeon of the Ghost Tower" by Rob Schwalb. As always, it's stunning. Thanks, Larry. It's an honor to work with you again.
Second: Unearthed Arcana.
If you haven't read the latest Dragon editorial, you'll want to bop over there when you're done here. I won't repeat myself, other than to say lots of people here are very excited about the possibilities opened up by a simple thing like Unearthed Arcana. The bulk of what you read in Dragon and Dungeon will still be official, sanctioned material, but every now and then, we're going to stretch the envelope a bit—or a lot.
Third: Adventures.
Many discussions have taken place here over the last year about what makes a roleplaying experience excellent as opposed to merely good. Those conversations are still going on, and will continue for—oh, a long time, I hope, because I enjoy them—but some exciting conclusions and initiatives have grown out of them. You'll see evidence of that in the Essentials line when it goes on sale. You'll see more of it here in Dungeon, as we begin experimenting with new (and maybe a few old) formats for adventures. That's really a topic for the future, though. I think I'll tuck that in my hip pocket for October's or November's editorial.
Until then, be sure to send us feedback and let us know how we're doing at email@example.com.

(Tips from the Charlotte Fire Department)
Winter Storm Facts
- About 70% of winter storm deaths occur in the family automobile. The rest are attributed to heart attacks from overexertion or by hypothermia caused by overexposure to the cold. To avoid overexertion when shoveling snow or performing other difficult tasks, pace yourself. Your heart is already working overtime to keep your body warm and any additional stress could lead to problems. Unless it is necessary to travel, stay indoors during an ice or snow storm.
- Of those individuals killed by by hypothermia, exposure to the cold, approximately half of them are over the age of 60, and three quarters of them are male.
- Elderly and children under the age of one are most susceptible to the cold. During extremely cold temperatures, elderly and small children should be stay indoors at temperatures above 70 degrees or dress appropriately for the season with layers of clothing and a head covering if venturing outside.
- Heavy snowfall and extreme cold can immobilize an entire region. Even areas which normally experience mild winters can be hit with a major snow or ice storm or by extreme cold. During this period, downed power lines, blocked roads and traffic accidents may occur.
What to do Before a Winter Storm
Know the terms used by the weather forecasters:
- Freezing Rain - rain that freezes when it hits the ground, creating a coating of ice on roads and walkways.
- Sleet - rain that turns to ice pellets before reaching the ground. Sleet also causes roads to freeze and become slippery.
- Winter Weather Advisory - cold, ice and snow are expected.
- Winter Storm Watch - severe winter weather such as heavy snow or ice is possible within the next day or two.
- Winter Storm Warning - severe winter conditions have begun or are about to begin.
- Blizzard Warning - heavy snow and strong winds will produce a blinding snow, near zero visibility, deep drifts and life-threatening wind chill.
- Frost/Freeze Warning - below freezing temperatures are expected.
Gather emergency supplies:
- A battery-powered NOAA weather radio and battery-powered commercial radio with extra batteries.
- Food that doesn't require cooking
- Extra water in clean soda bottles
- Rock salt to melt ice on walkways, and sand to improve traction
- Flashlights, battery-powered lamps and extra batteries in case of a power outage. (Candles are a fire hazard.)
Prepare for possible isolation in your home:
- Make sure you have sufficient heating fuel; regular fuel sources may be cut off.
- Have emergency heating equipment and fuel (a gas fireplace, wood burning stove, kerosene heater, or fireplace) so you can keep at least one room of your house warm enough to be livable. If your furnace is controlled by a thermostat and your electricity is cut off by a storm, you will need emergency heat. For safety, follow all manufacturers' instructions in the operation of heating equipment.
- If you have a fireplace, store a good supply of dry, seasoned wood.
- Keep fire extinguishers on hand, and make sure your family knows how to use them.
Winterize your home to extend the life of your fuel supply.
- Insulate walls and attics.
- Caulk and weather-strip doors and windows.
- Install storm windows or cover windows with plastic.
Winter Heating Tips
Over the last four years, the Charlotte Fire Department has responded to 142 winter heating-related fires. Of these 142 fires, three people were killed, 136 people were left homeless, and resulted in over $1.6 million dollars of property damage.
The following are a few home heating safety tips to consider so that you and your property will be at less risk this winter:
1. Have your furnace inspected annually to insure proper maintenance and operation.
2. Keep space heaters at least three feet away from combustible items such as drapes, furniture or paper products.
3. Only use fuel approved by the manufacturer.
4. Never leave portable heaters unattended and never use them while you sleep.
5. Always refuel your kerosene heaters outside and never overfill or refuel when hot.
6. Keep children and pets away from heaters.
7. Before using wood stoves or fireplaces, check your chimney and flues for creosote build-up.
8. Use fireplace screens to protect your home from sparks and embers.
Remember to use common sense when dealing with heating appliances and please make sure that your home has a properly installed, working smoke alarm on each floor and near the bedrooms. Effective January 1, 2001. Homeowners will be required to have a CO Alarm installed to protect them from the poisonous, colorless, and odorless gas called Carbon Monoxide.
What to do During a Winter Storm
- Listen to the radio to television for weather reports and emergency information.
- Dress for the season.
1. Wear several layers of loose-fitting, light--weight clothing rather than one layer of heavy clothing. The out garments should be tightly woven and water repellent.
2. Mittens are warmer than gloves.
3. Wear a hat or other head covering. Most of the body's heat is lost through the top of the head.
4. Cover your mouth with a clean scarf to protect your lungs from the cold air.
- Be careful when shoveling snow. Overexertion can bring on a heart attack -- a major cause of death in the winter. If you must shovel snow, do some stretch exercises before going out and don't overexert yourself. Consider purchasing a snow blower (similar to a lawn mower for snow), which requires far less exertion to remove a significant volume of snow than a shovel.
- Check on neighbors who may have trouble staying safe during winter storms. Elderly or homebound residents are at particular risk. Make sure they have adequate hearing and food and offer to clear their sidewalks or driveways.
- Watch for signs of frostbite -- a loss of feeling and a white or pale appearance in extremities such as fingers, toes, ear lobes or the tip of the nose. If symptoms are detected, get medical help immediately.
- Watch for signs of hypothermia -- uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness or apparent exhaustion. If symptoms of hypothermia are detected, get medical help immediately.
- When at home:
1. Conserve fuel if necessary by keeping your house somewhat cooler than normal. Temporarily "close off" heat to some rooms.
2. When using kerosene heaters, maintain ventilation to avoid build-up of toxic fumes. Refuel kerosene heaters outside and keep them at least three feet from flammable objects.
Winter Storm Driving Tips
- If you must travel, consider taking public transportation. Call 336-RIDE for schedule information. If you travel by car, travel in the day, don't travel alone, and keep others informed of your schedule. Stay on main roads; avoid back-road shortcuts.
- Keep your vehicle "winterized" with antifreeze.
- Carry a "winter car kit" in the trunk of your vehicle. Following are some items you may want to have available:
o windshield scraper
o shovel
o battery-powered radio
o flashlight
o extra batteries
o water
o snack food
o mittens
o head covering
o blanket
o tow clains or rope
o tie chains vbag of road salt
o sand
o florescent distress flag
o booster cables
o road map
o emergency flares
If a blizzard traps you in your car:
- Pull off the highway. Set your hazard lights to the "flashing" position, and hang a distress flag from the radio antenna or window.
- Remain in your vehicle where rescuers are most likely to find you. Do not venture out on foot unless you can see a building close by where you know you can get shelter. Distances are often distorted by blowing snow. A building may seem close, but be too far to walk to in deep snow.
- Run the engine and heater about ten minutes each hour to keep warm. When the engine is running, open a window slightly for ventilation. This will protect you from possible carbon monoxide poisoning. Periodically clear away the snow from the exhaust pipe.
- Exercise to maintain body heat, but avoid overexertion. In extreme cold, use anything available for insulation. Huddle with other passengers and use your coat for a blanket.
- Take turns sleeping. One person should always be awake at all times to look for rescue opportunities. Balance electrical needs, use of lights, heat and the radio, with supply.
- If stranded in a remote rural area, spread a large cloth over the snow by attract attention of any rescue personnel who may be surveying the area.
Emergency Three Day Kit
The best time to assemble a three-day emergency supply kit is well before you'll ever need it. Most people already have these items around the house and it is a matter of assembling them now before you need it.
Start with an easy to carry, water tight container - a large plastic trash can will do, or line a sturdy cardboard box with a couple of trash bags. Next gather up the following items and place them in your kit.
* Essentials:
o Water - 1 gallon per person per day
o Water purification kit or bleach
o First aid kit and first aid book
o Pre--cooked, non-perishable foods, such as canned meats, granola bars, instant soup and cereals, etc.
o Baby supplies: formula, bottle, pacifier, soap, baby power, clothing, blankets, baby wipes, disposable diapers, canned food and juices.
o Non-electric can opener
o Anti-bacterial hand wipes or gel
o Blanket or sleeping bag per person
o Portable radio or portable TV with extra batteries
o Flashlight and extra batteries
o Essential medications
o Extra pair of eyeglasses
o Extra house and car keys
o Fire extinguisher - ABC-type
o Food, water, leash and carrier for pets
o Cash and change
o Seasonal change of clothing, including sturdy shoes.
* Sanitation Supplies:
o Large plastic trash bags for waste, taps and rain ponchos
o Large trash cans
o Bar soap and liquid detergent
o Shampoo
o Toothpaste and toothbrushes
o Feminine hygiene supplies
o Toilet paper
o Household bleach
o Rubber gloves
Stocking up now on emergency supplies can add to you family's safety and comfort during and after a disaster. Store enough supplies for at least three days, preferably seven days, in one place.
