FIRE SAFETYBE PREPARED

According to a study conducted by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), apartment fires account for roughly 6% of all US fires each year; yet they result in 13% of all fire related deaths and 8% of total property loss. Apartment fires present significant risks to life and property because there are often many residents living in an apartment complex and their homes are in close proximity to one another. For this reason, a fire that starts in one unit may damage or destroy the apartments that surround it before firefighters can arrive to extinguish the blaze. Before a fire strikes, residents are encouraged to take the following precautions: Smoking is the leading cause of fires in the home. Smoking is allowed only in approved areas. Never discard smoking materials in the trash or near combustible materials. Test Smoke Alarms regularly and have batteries replaced at least once a year. If your smoke alarm does not work or needs new batteries, contact our Maintenance Help Line: 731-6699. Keep combustible materials at least 3 feet from heating equipment, space heaters, hot water heaters and other heat producing appliances. Never use extension cords as permanent wiring and never sue extension cords that are damaged or split. Inspect all electrical cords for damage before plugging in appliance. Unplug small appliances like toasters and coffee pots, when they are not in use. Never leave food unattended when cooking. If a grease fire starts, cover it with a wet towel or lid and call 911 immediately. Familiarize yourself with exits and stairwells and make an escape plan to vacate your apartment in case of fire.

REALITY By Ellen Canterbury

There is sorrow in my heart When a friend is ill, When a friend moves, When a friend dies. One day I too will be ill Or move, or die. Dear friend, do not mourn, There is always a homecoming in heaven.

LIBRARY CORNER
An imagined conversation in early 19th century: Wheres Abe Lincoln this morning? Hes up by his sweethearts grave just sitting under a tree reading Thats the reason hell never amount to anything. All he ever does is sit around and read. Or maybe Shakespeare had it right in his play, Julius Caesar when he has the would-be emperor say of another person, ...He has a lean and hungry look. He reads too much. Such men are dangerous. As a reading instructor, I often heard something like this: I aint got time for reading. I have to work to pay off my car. Those who have found the true joy of reading dont just sit around. They have found that just sitting there reading can take them into outer space with the astronauts or they can sail under the polar icecap just by reading a good book. A thing that books do well is to expand our horizons. The poet Emily Dickenson once wrote, A book is like a frigate. On this frigate, readers can sail the seven seas or discover new continents. Today, we have many things that take up our time such as TV where someone else does your imagining for you. A book allows your own imagination to work letting you see things through your own eyes. I give a lot of books to kids today, trying to twist their arms into discovering the joy of reading. Libraries are full of trips to the moon or entering into the center of the earth. Your ticket is already paid for. All you have to do is climb aboard that frigate and begin a new adventure. John Keats, the poet, may have said it most memorably; Much have I travelled in realms of gold and many goodly states and kingdoms seen. Those realms of gold were, of course, books.
