Show Thursday, Hovember 24, 2005 The Utah Safety Council warns of carbon monoxide poisoning SPRINGVILLE HERALD As the weather turns colder, cold-er, Utahns need to be aware of the silent killer known as Carbon Monoxide. Just recently, re-cently, 51 cases of Carbon Monoxide poisoning resulted in death after the storm of Hurricane Katrina. All except one case was due to misuse of portable generators. Here at home, a local family fami-ly was taken to the hospital after a 911 call reporting all members were lightheaded and feeling sick. When crews got to the home they believed the elevated levels of CO were due to a faulty furnace. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, col-orless, odorless and tasteless gas that causes sudden illness or death. CO can be found in combustible fumes from a cartruck, stoves, lanterns, burning charcoal and wood, propane, oil, furnaces, chimneys chim-neys and gas ranges. Symptoms Symp-toms of CO poisoning will result re-sult in flu-like symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, nausea and dizziness. In high amounts, CO can be fatal in as little as five minutes. To prevent Carbon Monoxide Monox-ide poisoning, the Utah Safety Council advises Utahns to have at least one CO detector installed by the sleeping areas in your home. The Utah Safety Safe-ty Council also offers the following fol-lowing safety tips: 1. Have your furnace and heating system inspected and serviced annually. 2. Never run an automobile in the garage or any other type of enclosed space. 3. Have your chimney and flue cleaned professionally. 4. Make sure that the burner burn-er flames on your furnace and stove burn blue, not yellow-orange. 5. Never use your gas range or oven for heating. 6. Never use grills or hi-bachis hi-bachis inside your home. 7. Never operate gas burn ing heaters or appliances in a closed room.

The new facility will produce bottled water to be sold to the public. The well is some 800 feet deep. All of the men pictured, except Norman Van Patten, are from Far West Bank who is financing the project. Students at Mapleton Elementary School honored veterans from their families by bringing in pictures of their relatives who had served in the military. These pictures were displayed along with the name of the veteran and their relation to a student at the school. Students and teachers have gained a better appreciation for the sacrifices of those who have defended their freedoms by viewing the Honor Board. A Veteran's Day assembly was held on Friday, Nov. 11. Mapleton Mayor Dean Allen was the featured speaker. Students also enjoyed a flag ceremony by Staff Sgt. Larry Craudell of the Army National Guard 116th Engineers and a power-point presentation of local veterans set to patriotic music. Red Cross selling 72-hour kits In light of the recent disasters in the Southern United States, the Mountain Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross and the Secretary of Homeland Security, Se-curity, Michael Chertoff, are helping Utah residents recognize recog-nize the importance of being prepared. Whether preparing for a blackout or a major earthquake, earth-quake, all Utah residents should own a 72-hour kit complete with enough food and water for each member of their household for three days, Garr Judd, executive director of the Mountain Valley Chapter, said. "Not only does our chapter sell 72-hour kits at a price that most families will be able to afford, af-ford, but we are also equipped with information on everything from how to purify water, to how to escape from a house fire," Judd said. Local government and civic leaders have long been urging citizens to prepare themselves and their families for disaster. Preparedness is a civic responsibility respon-sibility that each family needs to fulfill. "For those people who say, Well, I can take care of myself no matter what, I dont have to prepare,' there is an altruistic elementto el-ementto the extent that they are a burden on government services that takes away from what's available to help those who can't help themselves," them-selves," Chertoff said. Items in a starter 72-hour kit should include water, food, hand and body warmers, blankets, blan-kets, light sticks, flashlight with extra batteries, whistle, first aid kit, hygiene items, extra clothing, cloth-ing, copies of important paperwork, paper-work, radio, cash and prescriptions prescrip-tions and other necessary medications. med-ications.
