Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Protecting Your Home

Carbon monoxide (sometimes referred to as CO) is a colorless, odorless�gas�produced by burning material containing carbon. Carbon monoxide�poisoning�can cause brain damage and death. You can't see it, smell it, or taste it; but carbon monoxide can kill you.�Because carbon monoxide is an odorless, tasteless, and color-

less gas, it is known as the "silent killer."��Carbon monoxide is produced by common household appliances.

When not properly ventilated, carbon monoxide emitted by these appliances can build up. See the list of appliances that can emit carbon monoxide in this article under Carbon Monox-ide Poisoning Causes.�

Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning such as�headaches,�nausea, and�fatigue, are often mistaken for the�flu�because the deadly gas goes undetected in a home. Pro-longed exposure can lead to brain damage and even death.�

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Causes�Carbon monoxide is formed when organic compounds�burn. The most common sources are motor vehicle exhaust, smoke from fires, engine fumes, and nonelectric heaters. Carbon monoxide poisoning is often associated with malfunctioning or obstructed exhaust systems and with�suicide�attempts.�

Steps to prevent�carbon monoxide poisoning�include the following:�

Purchase and install a�carbon monoxide detector�on each level of

your home and near sleeping areas. Use those marked UL 2034

or IAS 6�“96, which have met the U.S. Consumer Product Safety

Commission guidelines. Follow the directions carefully for in-

stalling and using the detector. Be prepared so that you know what

to do if the detector alarm sounds.�

Have your heating system inspected each year.�

Monitor appliances, chimneys, and vents for visible soot, rust,

stains, blockage, or corrosion. Also have them inspected each

year. When in use, make sure they vent properly to allow gas to

escape from enclosed areas. Don't close the fireplace or wood/

pellet stove damper before the fire is completely out.�

Don't use kerosene or propane heaters in an enclosed area. Don't

use a gas kitchen oven to heat your home.�

Don't burn�charcoal�or use a grill indoors.�

Don't place power generators or pressure washers near windows

or doors of your home.�

Don't use paint remover that has methylene chloride in it, especial-

ly when children are around. (Methylene chloride converts to car-

bon monoxide in the body.)�

Don't smoke cigarettes or have your child near someone who

is�smoking, especially in a poorly ventilated room.�

Silver Sneakers at the Senior Center� �

We are so excited to be par"cipa"ng in the Silver Sneakers

program called FLEX™!� FLEX™ classes allow Silver Sneak-

ers members to aJend classes beyond the tradi"onal gym

to further assist them with their health and fitness goals

for FREE! �

�� Increased physical ac"vity has been documented to

reduce the risk of disability and disease. Integra"ng quality

senior fitness programming into communi"es plays a sig-

nificant role in the preven"on of disease and increased

wellness. Your health insurance may include the Silver

Sneakers Fitness Program benefit. In addi"on to the clas-

ses that are offered at the Senior Center, your member-

ship allows you to have membership at a par"cipa"ng

health club. In our community these are AnyTime Fitness

and Curves® �

�� Our FLEX™ instructor is Janice Munns. She brings

years of experience and enthusiasm to the program. Her

classes are as follows:��

�Monday and Wednesday�9:00 a.m. (Cardio and �

� � � � Strength Training)�

�Tuesday and Friday�9:00 a.m. (Muscles and Range of

� � � � � Mo"on)�

�Thursday�8:30 a.m. (Dance Variety)�

�Thursday�9:30 a.m. (Stretch and Balance)�

If you aren’t a member of Silver Sneakers and would like to

par"cipate, the cost is 20.00 per month for a single person

and 30.00 for a couple or $3 per class. Contact Nancy at

435�226�1451 if you have further ques"ons. �

According to the AHA…………..�

“Being physically ac"ve is also important

to prevent heart disease and stroke. Just

40 minutes of aerobic exercise, three to

four "mes a week, is enough to lower both

cholesterol and high blood pressure.”�

�

Start Slowly!!!!!!!!!!!!�

Talk with your doctor about what kinds of

physical ac"vity are right for you. �

Remember, it’s wise to start slowly and

work steadily. This helps you s"ck to your

program while reducing your risk of injury.�

�

Get Inspired!!!!!�

To get you thinking about new and fun

ways to exercise, consider walking with

friends or family, taking an exercise

class, trying yoga, swimming, taking a

bike ride, or going for a jog.�

~Things we need you to know~�

Curbs have been painted.��

Please be aware that our curbs

around the building have been

updated with new paint. �

Many places that you used to be

able to park, are now painted red

for “No Parking”. �

We appreciate all of your help and

aJen"on to keep our parking lots

and patrons safe at all "mes!�

Reminder about “Saving Seats”��

We want our Community Center

to be a place where everyone that

enters feels welcome and wanted. �

To assure this, DO NOT save seats. �(Carpool together if you want to sit together.) �

If we see names wriJen on �

placemats, staff will clear them.

Try siKng with someone new each

day and make more friends!�

“Free Table �

Friday.”��

Our Free Table

will only be set�

up on Fridays. �

Bring your items

on Friday ONLY.�(If items arrive �

earlier, they will be

disposed of.)�

Keep your eyes open!!!!!!�

We are crea4ng new parking.��

Due to limited space in the �

building and safety concerns, we will be designing

new Jazzy Chair, Wheelchair and Bicycle Parking Stalls

in the Main Hall.�

We will announce when the new “parking stalls” are

complete. Please make sure to use them if needed.�

Recycling�

The Senior Center has the following recycling �

programs: Paper, aluminum, and old cars.�

Lunch Reserva4ons.��

We are so happy that all of you

enjoy having lunch with us. In

order to assure that there is

enough food prepared, we ask

that you sign up for lunch at least

24 hours in advance. We would

hate to have to turn someone

away when just a phone call to the

help us avoid this!�

Procras�nators and Back Rooms��

��Everyone needs a back room, especially if they are a Procras?nator.� The house I was raised in was very large by �

yesterday's standards and my parents did a lot of entertaining.� My parents loved to have gatherings and I remember

well my birthday par?es.� My mother never wanted to hurt anyone's feelings so every person in my school class got

invited.� Mom made refreshments and made everyone feel welcomed, even the kids I didn't especially want to �

invite.� Mom and dad were both social people�and they were�involved in many things in our small community, so our

home became a gathering place.��

��You no?ced that I said my mom made refreshments for my birthday �

par?es and many other par?es at our house.� She loved to cook, take care of

children, and make people feel welcomed.� When it came to cleaning, she

had ladies come in to do that.�

��My mom and I are alike in many ways.� We do a lot of working with

"things", especially papers, books, Family History, and etc. etc. etc.� �

Somehow those things get leG all around the house.� We procras?nators are

always going to gather them up and put them away, "someday".� It is hard to

put "things" away when you are busy reading the books, wri?ng on the �

paper, researching Family History and running pile�it (pilot) programs for all

the magazine, newspapers, and mail you are going to read, 'someday'.��What

does all this have to do with procras?nators and backrooms?� You never

thought I would Meander into that subject did you?�

��In�my childhood, when it came ?me for a gathering at our house and there

were many "pile it" programs around the house, my mother would say to my

sister and me, "Louise and Margie, hurry and pick up all the magazines,

books, papers, (ie clu$er) and put it in your back bedroom."� We had twin beds in the back bedroom so it gave us more

space to pile the "pile it" programs on.� When my li$le sister, Ann, was born in the Historic winter of�1949, (more on

that later)�Louise and I moved our bedroom to the basement.� I kind of missed sleeping with all that "paper power".��

��Remember that I said my mom had cleaning ladies?� They did not clean up clu$er.� One lady came and changed all

the linens on the beds and remade the beds.� When you have a large family like we did, that helped a lot.� Another

woman came on Saturdays while mom went to get her hair done and that lady�dusted and vacuumed.� I disliked it

when she was there.� She made�my sister and I�sit on the couch with our legs up off the floor while she vacuumed our,

family room, front room, dining room and bedrooms.� That was a long ?me for�a young child like me to have�to be �

inac?ve.� I think that was Mrs. Lake's way of baby siLng us while she worked.� Anyway our house was always�clean and

ready for company (even those that needed a clean bed), if no one went into�our back bed�room.�

��I have a sort of a back room, although it is not in the back of�our house.� It is my computer room.� When I have �

procras?nated puLng my�piles of papers, books, Family History, magazines, newspapers, etc. away and it is ?me for

gatherings at our house, I just haul everything to the computer room.� I am always going to inventory it and see what

needs to be kept.� Some?mes I just do like my mother use to do�and put the paper clu$er in a box un?l I can �

procras?nate further by fooling myself that I am going to go through it SOMEDAY�and sort, save and throw��out!��

��When we moved Mom and Dad out of the Ranch House, we found, in the aLc�boxes and boxes of things my Mom

had saved�to go through.�Some of my siblings are not as sen?mental as my mother and I, so it wasn't hard for them to

just throw all the boxes out.� By then�Mom was in the final stages of Alzheimer's and hadn't any more need for the

things in the boxes.�Mom taught us many�more things that could not have been found in those boxes.� She taught us to

make people�feel welcomed.� Feed people when they are in your home.� Make people feel good about them-

selves.� Serve everyone you can.� Be a peacemaker.� Gladden the heart of a child.� Seek out forgo$en people and visit

them.� Write le$ers.� Make phone calls.� Do Family History.� Make the world be$er by serving.� It is Mother's birthday

this month and I pay tribute for the many�non material things she taught me.� As for the material things, I suppose I will

just keep puLng them in boxes and piling them in my back room.� Maybe I will do that TOMORROW.� ��
