Gettin’ Thin In 2010 Week 5

Starting Week 5 After losing 23lbs
Good Morning Mother Lode!
Time for another weigh in for Gettin’ Thin In 2010! We’ll have the weigh in live at 7:20 and post the weekly pic here later, be sure to tune in! Let’s recap. January 2nd, I weighed in at 321lbs and One week ago I weighed in at 302lbs. Bringing my total weight loss to 19lbs.
This morning I weighed in at 298lbs! That’s a total weight loss so far of 23lbs! Even I’m surprised at this mornings result! Some people are saying I’m losing it too fast, but I am really not trying to lose but one or two pounds a week. I’m sure I will hit a plateau soon and that’s where I need your help and suggestions to continue on with my goal of 70lbs. Join me next Friday as I start week number 6 of Gettin’Thin In 2010 and we”ll have another LIVE weigh in at 7:20 here on Today’s Country 93.5 KKBN

Lights Out? What To Do?

With all the power outages lately, here’s some tips that might help if it happens again.
What to do When the Lights Go Out
Power Outage
How can I survive a power outage?
- Never use open combustion units (gas or charcoal barbecues, hibachis) inside the home.
- If traffic lights go out, treat all intersections as 4-way stops. It’s required by law for safety.
- Minimize driving to conserve fuel. You cannot refill the tank during a power outage.
- Stay away from downed power lines and sagging trees with broken limbs.
What’s the first thing I should do when the lights go out?
Turn off lights and electrical appliances except for the refrigerator and freezer. Even if it is dark, turn light switches, buttons on lamps or appliances to the “off” position.
- After you turn the lights off, turn one lamp on so you will know when power is restored. Wait at least 15 minutes after power is restored before turning on other appliances.
What should I do if a power line falls down?
- Don’t touch or get near any fallen lines.
- Stay away from objects or puddles in contact with downed power lines.
- Notify the utility company.
Will my gas heater work?
No. Thermostats, furnace fans and blowers all run on electricity.
How can I stay warm?
- Wear extra layers of clothes and use several layers of blankets.
- Do not get wet if there is no way to get dry.
- Drink and eat enough to preserve health.
- Close off all rooms that are not in use and do not need to be heated.
- To keep rooms warm, close curtains, shades or drapes. Cover doors and windows.
How can I safely use alternate heat sources?
- Do not burn anything inside your home without adequate ventilation to the outdoors.
- Have enough fuel available for alternate heat sources, such as wood for a wood stove.
- Never use gas ovens, gas ranges, barbecues, and most portable or propane heaters for indoor heating. These units use oxygen and create carbon monoxide that can cause suffocation.
- Before using an alternate heat source, read the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Have firefighting materials: dry powder, fire extinguisher, heavy tarp or blanket, water available.
How should a portable generator be used?
- Use generators only as independent power sources. Keep them outside and run a cord inside. Don’t connect generators to main service panels. This could injure or kill utility workers trying to restore power.
How do I keep food safe?
- Use foods that spoil rapidly first.
- Keep cold food cold. Use dry ice or an ice chest. In winter, store food outside.
- Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to conserve cold air.
- If food is cold to touch, it is probably safe to keep, use or refreeze.
- Discard meat, seafood, dairy products and cooked food that are not cold to touch.
- Fruits, vegetables and food in undamaged cans are safe.
- Food that needs no refrigeration: jelly, butter, margarine, ketchup, mustard, pickles, relish.
- If in doubt, throw it out.
- For information on food safety, call your health department or cooperative extension service.
How do you treat contaminated water?
If the water from your tap is clear:
- Boil it for 3 minutes. This kills disease-causing bacteria and parasites,
OR - Add 1/8 teaspoon household bleach per gallon of water. Let it sit for 1/2 hour.
If water is cloudy –
- Pour it through a coffee filter and boil it for 3 minutes.
- If you cant boil it, filter it and add 1/4 teaspoon of bleach per gallon. Let it sit for 1 hour.
How do I operate my electric garage door opener?
- Operate the door by hand. Read the owner’s manual or call the manufacturer.
Are there special considerations for people with chronic health problems?
- Yes. Talk to your doctor about an emergency supply of prescription medicine. Keep a 30 day supply in your emergency kit. Be aware of the expiration date on the medication and rotate a fresh supply into the kit on a regular basis. If you are on life support, please fill out UEC’s Life Support Notification Form, and have a backup power supply on hand.
What do I need to prepare for the next power outage?

Goodie Of The Week 1/20/10

Time for the KKBN Good Neighbor Award! The Goodie this week goes to Special Ed Teacher Tim Donovan. Here’s the nomination letter:
The Goodie Award
Despite his rather dry humor and sometimes strict exterior, Special Education Teacher, Tim Donovan really is a softie inside and out. Once you crack that stoic exterior, you will find a man who will definitely go the extra mile to help the students at Tioga High School in a variety of ways. Mr. Donovan will donate regularly to the fund for underprivileged kids who cannot usually afford to take an extra curricular trip like a ski trip to Dodge Ridge and just give anonymously so that somebody who might not choose to go because they don’t have the financial resources and allow them to have a great day on the slopes. He takes his volleyball team to great camps each summer on his own dime. He spends lots of money for the teams at Tioga High School out of his own pocket so that the athletes have the supplies and equipment that they need to compete in an environment that provides them with great skills and practice. He has purchased an automatic volleyball machine so that the!
team can practice kill shots and digging, he has purchased a net that allows the golf team to practice hitting their drives inside the gym when the weather is inclimate. He has purchased baseball cleats, soccer shoes and basketball high tops for kids who couldn’t afford them….He has purchased winter jackets when jack frost arrives and new backpacks at the start of the school year, he is sneaky about finding out their sizes and sometimes uses some insiders on the campus to retrieve the information….kids don’t go without because we have this phantom philanthropist on our campus. He buys meals for kids when we travel to away games and have to eat on the road. The giving is never ending. He provides his special education kids with extra books and videos so that they can get the practice and exposure to subject matter in a modality that allows them to experience great successes in the classroom. In a time when the state is tightening our budgets on a daily basis, Mr. Donaovan spends much of his own money to insure that our kids get !
what they need. He does this with no need for recognition or accolades, he does it because he feels the kids deserve it. As the administrator on the campus I am privy to his generosity and inner soft side and feel it is time that he gets a small amount of public recognition for his generosity and caring. The kids thank you even though they don’t know who is doing this…the faculty appreciates your sense of humor and your dedication and the Principal appreciates the opportunity to work alongside so many great faculty members and this happens to be the one that I want to appreciate in this manner. Sincerely, Sandy Bradley, Principal
