Hillsborough second grader is top winner of national Road Safety Student Art Contest The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced the winners of the 2020 Road Safety Student Art Contest. Top honors were awarded to Gianna Liu, a second grade student from Hillsborough, and Sanjana Arudala, a sixth grade student from Irving, Texas. “This year’s winners show that it’s never too early to make road safety a top priority,” FMCSA Deputy Administrator Wiley Deck said in a prepared statement. “The impressive artwork from these students will help effectively communicate FMCSA’s important safety messages to motorists throughout the country.” The contest was open to all students in kindergarten through sixth grade. Student entries focused on educating passenger vehicle drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians to coexist on the same roadways as commercial motor

vehicles and work together to reduce crashes. The contest is organized by FMCSA’s Our Roads, Our Safety Partnership, which includes more than 30 other government, safety, industry and private organizations. These partnerships are essential to amplifying the safety messages about buckling up and understanding the challenges and special considerations when traveling near or around buses and large trucks, according to the statement. The two grand prize winning entries will hang in FMCSA’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. The entries from the following 12 students (two grand prize and 10 honorable mention entries) will be featured in the 2021 Road Safety art contest calendar.

Hillsborough looks to rebound from first loss of the season By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004

The Hillsborough High School football team suited up for a rare Monday night contest against Watchung Hills High School on Oct. 12 at Dan A. Noonan Field. Previously scheduled to take place last Friday night, the game was pushed back because of a Watchung Hills student testing positive for the coronavirus and making all the school’s athletic programs shut down for two weeks. Under cool and misty weather conditions, the Raiders took a 7-3 lead going into the final quarter of play. Anchored by its sturdy defense, Hillsborough looked primed to improve to 2-0 on the season, but the Warriors had a rally up their sleeves. Watchung Hills made the most of its two drives during the fourth quarter, finding the end zone on both of them to come away with a 16-13 victory and hand Hillsborough its first loss of the season. “They were really tough in the interior and kept us from running the ball well and we didn’t make enough plays in the pass game,” said Hillsborough Coach Kevin Carty. “I thought we could’ve but we just didn’t get it done.” After Watchung Hills surprised the Raiders with an onside kick to start the contest, the Hillsborough defense was able to lessen the blow and hold the Warriors to a field goal. Hillsborough stifled the Watchung Hills’ offense for the rest of the first half, holding the Warriors to only 66 yards of offense and sacking quarterback Chad Martini three times. Hillsborough defensive back Tyler Michinard had two of those sacks and finished with a teamhigh three sacks in the contest. Classmate Will Dixon collected

two sacks in the game as the Hillsborough defense racked up a total of five sacks on the night. “They played great for most of the game against a good team with a really good quarterback,” Carty said of his defense. “We were physical on defense for a lot of the game.” Defensive back Troy Kennedy was “Johnny on the spot” for the Raiders with under four minutes to go in the first quarter, catching the tipped ball for an interception to set up the game’s first touchdown. On the next play, Hillsborough quarterback James Mazuera found a wide open Thomas Amankwaa running up the left sideline for

a 30-yard touchdown to put the Raiders out in front with a 7-3 lead. The Hillsborough offense was unable to build off the touchdown as the Watching Hills defense held the Raiders in check the rest of the night. Clinging to a four-point lead going into the fourth quarter, the Hillsborough defense ran out of gas in the fourth quarter as Watchung Hills stormed down the field to retake the lead with 11:27 left to play. Following a 14-yard run to move the chains to start the fourth quarter, Kyle Saunders found the end zone on the very next play with a seven-yard touchdown run to put

Watchung Hills up 10-7. Hillsborough tried to answer right back on the next drive by getting the ball down to the Watchung Hills’ 35-yard line, but a defensive stand by the Warriors ended the Raiders’ drive on a turnover on downs with 8:27 left to play. Watchung Hills put together a game-clinching drive on the following possession, going on a 10play, 65-yard touchdown drive that saw Martini end it with a one-yard quarterback sneak to extend the Hillsborough deficit to 16-7. Amankwaa made an outstanding play to end the game by taking a 42-yard wide receiver screen pass to the house for his second touch-

down of the game, but it was not enough as Hillsborough dropped to 1-1 on the season. “He’s an awesome player,” Carty said of Amankwaa. “I wish we could’ve gotten him in a space to make those plays earlier, but missed some opportunities.” Mazuera threw for 102 yards in the contest. The junior quarterback now has three touchdown passes this fall and has four total touchdowns through the first two games of the season. Hillsborough did play without its star running back Sean Levonaitis, who was out with a hamstring injury. Carty said it hurt not having Levonaitis in the game, but believes his squad has a lot of good players and that they had the opportunity to come out of the contest against Watching Hills with a victory. The Raiders will look to rebound on Oct. 17 when they travel to play football powerhouse Phillipsburg. Carty believes his squad has the chance to have a great game against Phillipsburg and get things back on track. “These guys play together,” Carty said. “They’re going to stay behind each other and keep working hard to get better. I want to see us have a good game against Phillipsburg and I think we have the opportunity to do that if we keep getting better.”

Hillsborough Township fills position of police captain The Hillsborough Township Committee promoted a police officer from the department to fill the vacancy in the position of captain after Captain Mark Besser’s retirement. After a thorough interview process, Lt. David Fisher was promoted to captain on Sept. 22. “As a result of the extensive experience base available within the Hillsborough Police Department, we are able to promote an officer to fill the vacancy,” Mayor Doug Tomson said in a statement provided after the meeting. Fisher is a 27-year veteran of the department. During his early career he worked in the Patrol and

Investigative divisions. He was appointed corporal in April 2007 and remained in that position until he was promoted to sergeant of the Patrol Division in March 2016. In October 2017, he was assigned to the Investigative Division as sergeant until September 2019 when he was promoted to lieutenant, Investigative Division commander, according to the statement. Throughout Fisher’s 27 years with the department, he has received many commendations, command citations and letters of appreciation for a variety of jobs well-done. In 2016, he received a proclamation from the Town-

Minimally Invasive Treatments Vanish Varicose Veins

s you age, the likelihood of developing varicose veins increases. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, varicose veins and their smaller counterparts, known as spider veins, affect half of adults over 50. Years ago, procedures to treat varicose veins required hospitalization and long, uncomfortable recovery periods. By contrast, today’s treatments are performed in the office and are quick, safe and essentially painless. At the Center for Vascular Care at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, board certified vascular surgeons along with skilled nurses and trained vascular staff offer a variety of treatment options for vascular conditions, including varicose veins. Women at Greater Risk Varicose veins occur when the valves in the legs weaken and become damaged. As a result, blood backs up and pools in the veins, causing them to stretch and bulge. Over time, these veins lose their elasticity, becoming longer and wider and exacerbating valve failure. Because of this, varicose veins are usually progressive and tend to become increasingly worse. Genetics play a significant role in determining whether you’ll develop varicose veins. If one parent had them, you have about a 50 percent chance of developing them. If both parents had them, the likelihood jumps to an estimated 90 percent. While both men and women can develop varicose veins, women experience the condition more frequently than their male counterparts. Women who have had one or more children, along with individuals who stand – or sit – in one place for long periods of time run the greatest risk of developing symptomatic varicose veins. When to Seek Medical Attention Varicose veins often lead to achiness, heaviness, or tired-

THE STATE WE’RE IN

ness in the legs. Some patients also report itchiness, especially in the lower part of the leg. Warm weather can make symptoms worse. In more severe cases, leg ulcers can develop leading to infection and wound care challenges. If left untreated, varicose veins can hinder everyday activities. You should seek medical attention from a vascular surgeon if you notice any of the following symptoms: • Bulging veins • Swelling in your legs • Brownish ankle discoloration • Achiness, tiredness, and heaviness in your legs Not Your Grandma’s Surgery The first line of treatment for varicose veins involves keeping the legs elevated as much as possible and wearing properly fitted compression socks. These measures will often alleviate symptoms and slow progression, but they don’t actually fix the underlying problem. If symptoms persist, surgical procedures including radio frequency ablation and sclerotherapy can close and seal leaking veins. Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive treatment in which heat is used to seal the leaking vein, naturally rerouting blood through healthier, properly working veins. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a chemical solution into the vein. Often the solution used is a foam which adheres to the walls of the vein and causes it to shrink, until it is ultimately absorbed by the body. This minimally-invasive procedure is especially effective for people with recurrent or stubborn varicose veins. Typically, these procedures can be performed in the office and take about 15 minutes on average. You usually can drive yourself to the appointment and, in many cases, resume normal activity the same day. Most insurances will cover the procedures, as they are

more than simply a cosmetic fix. Put Your Feet Up Though you can’t control genetics, there are steps you can take to help stop varicose veins from getting worse. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers these tips: • Get regular physical activity. Muscles in the legs help your veins push blood back to the heart, against the force of gravity. If you have varicose veins in your legs, any exercise that works the muscles in your legs will help prevent new varicose veins from forming. • Lose weight if you are overweight or obese. Extra weight makes it more difficult for your veins to move blood back up to your heart. Losing weight may also help prevent new varicose veins from forming. • Do not sit or stand still for long periods of time. If you must sit or stand at work or home for a long time, take a break every 30 minutes to stand up and walk around. This helps the muscles in your legs move the blood back up to your heart more effectively than when you are sitting or standing still without moving around. • Wear compression garments. Compression stockings help increase blood flow from your legs. • Put your feet up. When sitting, rest your feet on a stool as much as possible to help the blood in your legs flow back to your heart. With safe and minimally invasive treatments so readily available, there is absolutely no reason to live with the pain and discomfort caused by varicose veins.

Goldman, M.D., R.V.T., F.A.C.S., is board certiﬁed in general surgery and vascular surgery.

An eloquent witness to Earth’s changing climate

n his 94 years, British naturalist and broadcaster David Attenborough has explored every part of the Earth, from polar ice caps to equatorial rain forests to African savannas. His acclaimed television series, including “Life on Earth” and “The Blue Planet,” brought exotic animal species into millions of homes, sparking a sense of wonder and discovery. But in his lifetime, Attenborough has seen immense changes to the Earth’s landscape and climate patterns. The world’s population has tripled, nearly half of its wilderness has been lost, and the amount of carbon in the atmosphere has risen by 50%. Thousands of wildlife species are now declining or extinct, as air and ocean temperatures rise. If current trends continue, he says, large parts of the Earth will become uninhabitable in the next 80 years, wildlife will undergo a mass extinction, and our civilization’s survival will be threatened. Attenborough’s newly released film, “A Life on Our Planet” (available on Netflix), is his attempt to change the trajectory of human impact on Earth before it is too late. “This film is my witness statement and my vision,” says Attenborough, speaking directly to the camera, his bright blue eyes clouding with grief at scenes of denuded rain forests, melting ice sheets and bleached ocean coral. For 100,000 years, he said, the Earth was a “Garden of Eden” with an average temperature that did not vary by more than a degree. But the last 200 years of human domination have disrupted its gentle, reliable rhythms. Instead of living in harmony with nature, he said, humans are burning fossil fuels that release carbon into the atmosphere, destroying forests that support wildlife and absorb carbon, and in the process are raising the Earth’s temperature. However, Attenborough finds hope in many places.

centraljersey.com Packet Media, LLC.

One such place is Costa Rica, which in the 1980s was down to only 25% forest cover as a result of uncontrolled logging. But following a concentrated effort to restore forests and habitats, Costa Rica is now 50% forested and is renowned as an ecotourism destination. Another place is the Pacific island nation of Palau, which instituted vast no-fishing zones to prevent fish species from being wiped out by commercial harvests. With sufficient no-fish zones, Attenborough believes, species can rebound in great enough numbers to be a plentiful food source in those places where fishing is allowed. Yet another place is the small, densely populated country of Holland. The Dutch, he said, have become masters at high-tech farming and are producing more food on less land – thus proving the worldwide “land grab” to clear forests for agriculture can be reversed. One unusual place where Attenborough sees hope is Chernobyl, Ukraine, the site of a nuclear power plant explosion in April 1986. With high levels of radiation, the city of 50,000 was immediately evacuated and abandoned. With no human activity over the past 35 years, the land has been reclaimed by forest and wildlife is now abundant. “If we take care of nature, nature will take care of us,” said Attenborough. “We have to move from being apart from nature to being a part of nature once again.” Attenborough has an optimistic vision of how humankind can rescue the planet – and civilization – during the next 100 years: • Switch to renewable energy. As Attenborough points out, “the living world is essentially solar powered.” Humans must phase out fossil fuels in favor of renewable sources like solar, wind and geothermal. When this happens, energy will be more affordable, cities will be cleaner and quieter, and the power will never run out.

• Plant new forests. “They are the best technology nature has for locking away carbon,” he says. “The wilder and more diverse forests are, the better they are at absorbing carbon from the atmosphere.” • Protect the oceans. The oceans and their phytoplankton are another powerful ally in the battle to reduce carbon in the atmosphere. And the healthier and more diverse the ocean life, the more sustainable it will be as a food source. • Reduce population growth. Every species has a maximum population that can be sustained and Attenborough believes humans are hitting their limit. The good news is the number of children being born worldwide each year is leveling off and some countries like Japan have stabilized their population. • Change our diets. If enough people switch their diet to mostly plant-based foods, which use far less land than meat production, more land can be replanted with trees to absorb carbon and provide habitat for wildlife. This is not just about saving our planet, it’s about saving ourselves, emphasizes Attenborough, who said, “With or without us, the natural world will rebuild.” “A Life on Our Planet” is a magnificent addition to Attenborough’s opus, clearly explaining the threats to Earth’s inhabitants and offering a clear pathway to a sustainable future. Attenborough notes that humans are the smartest creatures that ever lived on Earth and the only species that is able to envision the future. Let’s take this wise elder’s advice and act now for the benefit of the planet and all its species.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Brook will represent ‘with integrity’ A vote for David Brook for Hillsborough Township Committee is a vote for someone who will represent its citizens with integrity. David is a long-time resident of our town and is an active participant in the community. He’s also a great neighbor. As an environmental attorney who has worked at the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, David has the knowledge and skills to guide our town’s development and balance it with mother nature. David once served on Hillsborough’s Environmental Commission. Ironically, the Republicans in town did not reappoint him

primarily because he asked developers tough questions and tried to hold them accountable. This is truly an endorsement of his commitment to high values and standards. Someone like David is exactly who we need governing our town to look after our best interests. Vote early for David Brook and his running mate, Donnetta Johnson, on your mailin ballot – Democratic Column 2 – no later than Election Day, Nov. 3. Suzanne Ochse Hillsborough

Township, HEF collect more than 20,000 books to support classroom libraries Hillsborough Township was approached over the summer by members of the Hillsborough Education Foundation (HEF) to assist with a book drive. The goal was to collect new and gently used books that could be repurposed into classroom libraries. Over the course of a few days, the side multipurpose room became a dropoff spot for residents who had books to donate. Volunteers from HEF spent countless hours sorting the books by appropriate age groups so that the teachers could easily peruse the selections available and stock their classroom libraries. “This is just another example of a partnership for our children and the community that yielded tremendous results,” Mayor

At the Y, we’re here to help you get back to what matters most: your health, your family and friends, and your community.

Doug Tomson said in a prepared statement. “We are thankful for the continued support of the Township and the entire community throughout this initiative,” Linda Cummings, president of HEF, said in the statement. More than 20,000 books were donated. The day of the shopping event, 25 district teachers visited the makeshift bookstore and were able to use over 2,300 books. Approximately, 20,000 books were then boxed up and given to all the schools in the district, according to the statement. “This was a great opportunity to repurpose these books, keeping them out of landfills, while providing additional resources for our students,” Tomson said in the statement.

giveaway. If that weren’t enough, maybe the Sinatra music playing in the background or the clink, clink of wine glasses would be the clinchers. Either way, the ambiance of the Italian vibe is usually unmistakable. Such is the case, as well, when you get your fist look at the 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Sport AWD compact SUV. Quite simply, there is something un-

10/31/20

NM-00440693

Friday, October 16, 2020F

mistakably Italian about the look, feel and drive of this SUV. It has that Italian panache and flair. “In a world of bland crossovers, the Stelvio is a spicy Italian meatball in a Ferragamo suit,” write the editors of Car and Driver. That, my friends, is an almost perfect description. Introduced in 2016, the Stelvio is considered a compact luxury crossover SUV that competes with the likes of the BMW X3 and the Mercedes GLC. This crossover is produced at Alfa Romeo’s Cassino Plant in Piedimonte, San Germano, Italy. It is currently Alfa Romeo’s best selling model. In 2018, Alfa Romeo sold about 43,000 Stelvios. It had been quite some time since I had road tested an Alfa Romeo for review purposes. I think the last Alfa Romeo I had driven was the Spider way back in 1994 – the last year that car was produced. That Spider was a two-seat, front engine, rear drive roadster. Like most Italian cars, that roadster had a lot of flair to it. However, most of what I remember about that one week test drive with the Spider was how difficult it was to steer that small car. It steered like a Mack truck. The car was fun to drive, once you got it up to speed, but if you had to do a lot of twists and turns with it, it wasn’t so much fun. Well, suffice it to say, a lot has changed at Alfa Romeo since 1994. My one week test drive behind the wheel of the 2020 Stelvio was thoroughly enjoyable. This Stelvio is slick looking, stylish, comfortable on the inside and fun to drive. It’s steering, by the way, is smooth as silk – I guess the engineers at Alfa Romeo have figured out how to fix that issue. The Stelvio I drove was rosso – the Italian word for red – with a slick black leather interior and sporty looking 20-inch aluminum, 5-hole wheels. It has an aggressive and sporty exterior stance. Powering this Stelvio is a a 2.0 liter, four cylinder, turbo-charged engine that puts out an impressive 280 horsepower. The transmission is a smooth eight speed automatic. The Ti Sport – the model I drove – features a dynamic sport tuned suspension that affords this vehicle an exciting ride. It’s fun to drive, handles well through the tight turns and has enough power to do aggressive lane changes and passing maneuvers. The base price of the Ti Sport AWD is

$45,745. My tester was equipped with a lot of options and option packages, bringing the bottom line sticker price to $61,240 as tested. Options included: $2,300 for the Rosso Competizone Tri-coat exterior paint; $2,500 for the Ti AWD sport package; $3,250 for Active Driver Assist package; $400 for the security and convenience package; $1,350 for the performance package; $1,350 for a dual pane sunroof; $900 for an upgraded Harmon Kardon audio system; $200 for a wireless charging pad; $700 for the upgraded wheels; $1,100 for leather dash and doors and $200 for red brake calipers. The EPA fuel consumption ratings for the Stelvio are not all that impressive, but, on the other hand, not terrible. The Stelvio averages 24 miles per gallon – 28 mpg on the highway and 22 around town. The EPA estimates that it will cost, on average, about $2,050 a year in fuel costs for the Stelvio. It uses about 4.2 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. The Stelvio has not been crash test rated the by the government’s 5-star crash test yet. For positive points, the editor’s at Car and Driver noted of the Stelvio that it had “unmistakably Italian styling, lively handling and gutsy turbo charged engine.” Agreed. Car and Driver hit the Alfa Romeo for having “a tight cargo area and untested reliability.” I didn’t find the cargo area to be tight at all. I’m not sure what the editors at Car and Driver were trying to fit back there, but I found there to be ample room. Reliability has always been an issue with Italian and French cars. However, since most people lease their vehicles these days anyway, I don’t think reliability should be a major concern if you are considering leasing one of these vehicles because the Stelvo will be covered under the 4-year, 50,000 mile warranty offered, if you lease the vehicle for 3 years. On the other hand, if you are thinking of purchasing the Stelvio and keeping it long term, beyond the basic warranty coverage, you might want to find yourself an able bodied mechanic who can fix and repair Italian cars before purchasing.

Assemblyman volunteers at Bentley Community Services Although a visit to Bentley Community Services Food Pantry by Assemblyman Roy Freiman (D-16) and two staff members was originally scheduled in April for National Volunteer month, they recently visited amidst struggles from the coronavirus pandemic. For seven years, Bentley Community Services (BCS), a designated 501 (c) 3 charitable organization, has been helping families, seniors and individuals in financial crisis regain self-sufficiency by providing a full range of high quality grocery provisions and more each week, offsetting/ eliminating weekly grocery bills. BCS has distributed over 1.7 million pounds of high quality foods to date, according to information provided by BCS. As the main grocer, BCS creates access to healthy foods, facilitating healthy diets and nutrition so families benefit weekly from full shopping carts, feeding their families healthy and nutritious foods from the major food groups and more. The crucial monies that families save they then have to apply toward paying their monthly bills and expenses, reducing and paying off debts, medical bills and co-pays as these families work toward financial stability and security, according to the statement. BCS also offers educational and informational workshops throughout the year facilitated by professionals. Economic challenges, living paycheck to paycheck and the pandemic have many families struggling to makes ends meet.

BCS has remained open since the start of the pandemic and continues to serve neighbors in need, according to the statement. BCS operated for two years and then outgrew its origins in Belle Mead and is located in the Monmouth Junction portion of South Brunswick where it serves clientele families that come from Somerset, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Mercer and Monmouth counties. Each week, families pack up full shopping carts for their families of provisions, picked up by BCS from numerous grocers, restaurants, farms, bakeries, distributors, wholesalers and food harvest programs. Provisions are sorted and checked by volunteers to be distributed each week into the households that certainly could use them. Anyone needing assistance should call BCS at 908-227-0684 for help. There are also several volunteer opportunities available. The warehouse distribution facility is located at 4064 Route 1, Monmouth Junction section of South Brunswick. For more information, call 908-2270684 or visit www.bentleycommunityservices.org or www.facebook.com/bentleycommunityservices/ Donations of perishable, non-perishable foods and toiletries are accepted throughout the year. Or, offer a tax-deductible charitable donation through the website via PayPal or send by check to Bentley Community Services, P.O. Box 1093, Belle Mead 08502.

Commemorative bricks, trees, benches will create lasting memories The Somerset County Park Foundation is providing an opportunity to create a lasting memory in one of the Somerset County parks through the purchase of a commemorative brick, legacy tree or tribute bench. Purchases support the valuable programs funded by the Park Foundation and offered by the Somerset County Park Commission. The bricks, benches and trees provide individuals and organizations with the opportunity to honor people and groups or commemorate special events. Commemorative bricks are placed at the entrance to TD Bank Ballpark and trib-

ute benches and legacy trees are placed in a selected county park to provide an enduring tribute. Commemorative bricks are available at $100 each and will be engraved with a maximum of three lines of 20 characters including spaces and punctuation. A donation of $2,500 will earn the placement of a bench or tree in a designated county park of choice with a plaque memorializing the contribution. Tribute benches are available in three styles conforming to the park in which the bench is to be placed. Living legacy trees can either

be a new planting or an already established tree, either one noted with an engraved plaque. All fees are tax deductible. The program has created new opportunities for locations to place benches including East County Park in Warren Township, Skillman Park in Montgomery Township, and Mountain View Park and Sourland Mountain Preserve in Hillsborough Township. Other potential locations include Colonial Park and Gardens, Duke Island Park, Natirar Park, Leonard J. Buck Garden, the trails at the Environmental

Education Center, any of the five county golf courses, Lord Stirling Stable, North Branch Park, Torpey Athletic Complex, and Colonial Park and Green Knoll Tennis Centers. The timing and specific location of placement of benches, trees, and bricks will be at the discretion of park staff. A certificate will be provided to the donor for gift giving. Information is available at www.somersetcountyparks.org. For information, call the Park Foundation at 908-722-1200, ext. 5237.

Hillsborough fire marshals stress safety, especially in the kitchen As Fire Prevention Week approaches, the Hillsborough fire marshals reminds residents: “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen! The Hillsborough fire marshals are teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for more than 90 years — to promote this year’s campaign. The campaign works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe, according to information provided by the township. According to NFPA, cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in the United States. Almost half (44%) of reported home fires started in the kitchen. Two-thirds (66%) of home cooking fires start with the ignition of food or other cooking materials. “We know cooking fires can be prevented,” Lorraine Carli, NFPA’s vice president of outreach and advocacy, said in the statement. “Staying in the kitchen, using a timer, and

NM-00442891

avoiding distractions such as electronics or TV are steps everyone can take to keep families safe in their homes.” The Hillsborough fire marshals encourage all residents to embrace the 2020 Fire Prevention Week theme. “The most important step you should take before making a meal is to ‘Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen!’ “Chief Fire Marshal Christopher Weniger said in the statement. “A cooking fire can grow quickly. I have seen many homes damaged and people injured by fires that could easily have been prevented.” The fire marshals shared safety tips to keep you from having a cooking fire: • Never leave cooking food unattended. Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling or broiling. If you have to leave, even for a short time, turn off the stove. • If you are simmering, baking, roasting or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you’re cooking.

Turn off the burner, and leave the pan covered until it is completely cool. • Have a “kid-free zone” of at least 3 feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried. • Make sure you have at least one smoke and carbon monoxide alarm per floor and that they are in good working condition.
