Teach children they should alert the authorities to a downed power line or other potentially “live” electrical equipment and stay far away (at least 40 feet away

Summer Electrical Safety Tips for Kids

1. Instruct children to stay away from all utility lines, especially playing with a fallen line.

2. NEVER play or hang around electric utility boxes or substations. If a toy gets stuck inside any substations, transmission equipment, or electrical equipment, forbid them from entering to retrieve the toy.

3. DO NOT climb trees that are near power lines, even if the branches are touching. If the branches touch, you could end up electrocuted.

4. Fly kites and toy planes far away from power lines, and leave anything if it lands on a wire.

5. Stay at least 40 feet away from all power lines and call 911 immediately. The ground can be energized up to 35 feet away or through any water that is in contact with a downed line.

6. Summer showers can bring more than tempting puddles for kids to splash in, they can also leave electric hazards behind. Flooded areas are never safe spots to wade or play in, and may be in contact with energized electrical equipment or fallen power lines.

7. Make sure children know how to read and recognize signs that read “high voltage,” “danger,” “keep out,” and “caution.”

8. Teach children they should alert the authorities to a downed power line or other potentially “live” electrical equipment and stay far away (at least 40 feet away).

Energy Saving Tips

As American families and businesses transition to remote-work, they may see a surge in home energy use and in upcoming electric bills. Simple money-saving steps can help lower monthly electric bills without jeopardizing safety or comfort. Recommended energysaving tips include:

• Program your thermostat to maximize energy savings. Setting your thermostat one degree lower when heating or one degree higher when cooling can reduce energy use by up to 5 percent. • Do full loads of laundry and wash with cold water. Using warm water instead of hot can cut a load’s energy use in half, and using cold water will save even more. For extra savings, hang clothes to air dry.

• Air dry dishes. This step can cut your dishwasher’s energy use by up to 50 percent. • Unplug appliances and electronics when not in use. Small appliances and electronics use energy even when not in use. When powered on, game consoles, televisions and similar electronics are responsible for up to 12 percent of energy use.

In an effort to protect communities, firefighters, first responders, and New Mexico’s natural resources, the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department Forestry Division announced on May 13, 2020, restrictions on fireworks, smoking, campfires and open fires on all non-municipal, non-federal, and non-tribal lands statewide. Due to warmer temperatures, lower humidity, high winds, and an abundance of dry, fine fuels, the fire danger is increasing throughout the state. The current COVID-19 pandemic only amplifies the present danger by putting an additional strain on firefighting resources. The restrictions went into effect at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 13, 2020, and will remain in effect until rescinded.

Fire restrictions prohibit:

• Building, maintaining, attending, or using a

fire, campfire, or stove fire.

• Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle

or building, a developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is cleared of vegetation and flammable material.

• Welding or operating an acetylene or other

torch with open flame.

• Driving off designated roads. Visitors may

park in areas cleared of vegetation within 10 feet of the roadway, or in designated parking areas.

• Fireworks and other pyrotechnic devices are

always prohibited on national forests. “Given the extraordinary circumstances we are facing with COVID-19, and in accordance with Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s stay-athome order, we urge all New Mexicans to follow the fire restrictions guidelines and to use caution while spending time outdoors,” says State Forester Laura McCarthy.

“While the Forestry Division and its local, state, federal, and tribal partners across the state have COVID-19 protocols in place, an outbreak of the virus among firefighters could have a major impact on resources. Keeping wildfires from starting is the best way to prevent this and to prevent the loss of life and property,” says McCarthy.

Summer! What a change from the past few months of hunkering down for safety’s sake. Even though we continue to take every precaution in distancing ourselves when necessary, a backyard picnic may be just the thing to lift spirits as well as to honor Dad on his special day.

While visiting in Wisconsin a few months ago, fish-frys, cheese curds (in every imaginable form and size), and delicious baked goods were delights to behold. A favorite of Wisconsinites (or Cheeseheads) across the board is bratwurst. Many there are fiercely loyal to home-state beers, with most having a favorite or two. Warming brats in beer before finishing off on a grill is a staple, giving a very home-town taste. The Bratwurst Picnic Ring recipe below may be made in any size according to the guest count and is sure to become a family go-to for future gatherings.

As picnic prep takes place, try the following crowd-pleasing recipes and enjoy the great outdoors, home-style.

Bratwurst Picnic Ring

1 Bratwurst Picnic Ring 2 cans beer of choice (optional) 2 cups water 8 bratwurst sausages 2 cans crescent rolls 1 egg Options for serving: • Sauerkraut • Mustard varieties:Brown,

Preheat oven to 375⁰. Prepare round cooking sheet by covering with heavy-duty foil and spraying with cooking spray. Set aside. In large kettle, bring beer and water to a low boil on stovetop. Pierce each bratwurst sausage once with a table fork, place in beer, cooking for 5 minutes. Remove to platter. (Step may be omitted if not using beer.) Continue cooking bratwurst by grilling until nearly cooked, approximately 10 minutes on a medium heat grill. On a lightly floured surface, unroll crescent rolls, cutting each triangle lengthwise in two, creating 32 narrow triangles. Cut each into 4 equal pieces. Yummy!

Roll each bratwurst piece in a crescent roll section, placing in a circle on prepared cooking sheet. Place outer circle first by placing individual rolls at 12 and 6 o’clock positions, then filling in both sides in order to arrange in a concentric circle. Create inner circle with remaining bratwurst sections, rearranging bratwurst rolls as necessary to complete two circles. Mix egg with 2 tsps. water and brush on top of bratwurst picnic circles. Bake until golden brown, approximately 15-18 minutes. Serve with desired mustards and sauerkraut. Serves approximately 6-8 depending upon desired portions.

Stay Safe at Home

Each year, electrical malfunctions account for thousands of home fires, injuries, death, and property damage. The average American home was built in 1977, and many existing homes simply can’t handle the demands of today's electrical appliances and devices. Keep safety in mind with these helpful tips from the Electrical Safety Foundation International.

Learn the warning signs of an overloaded electrical system:

• Frequent tripping of circuit breakers or blowing of fuses. • Dimming of lights when other devices are turned on. • Buzzing sound from switches or outlets. • Discolored outlets. • Appliances that seem underpowered.

How to avoid overloading circuits:

• Label your circuit breakers to understand the different circuits in your home. • Have your home inspected by a qualified electrician if older than 40 years or if you’ve had a major appliance installed. • Have a qualified electrician install new circuits for high energy use devices. • Reduce your electrical load by using energy-efficient appliances and lighting. • Working from home? Follow these electrical safety tips to keep you and your home safe from electrical hazards. • Never plug a space heater or fan into an extension cord or power strip. • Never run cords under rugs, carpets, doors or windows. • Make sure cords do not become tripping hazards. • Keep papers and other potential combustibles at least three feet away from heat sources. • Make sure you use proper wattage for lamps and lighting. • Make sure your home has smoke alarms. Test them monthly, change batteries annually, and replace the unit every 10 years. Source: Electrical Safety Foundation International Test smoke alarms monthly, change batteries annually and replace the unit every 10 years.

Avoid overloading outlets:

• Unplug appliances when not in use to save energy and minimize the risk of shock or fire. • Regularly inspect electrical cords and extension cords for damage. • Extension cords should only be used on a temporary basis.

The average electric vehicle can save a driver who drives 15,000 miles in a year about $850 annually on fuel. All-electric vehicles start to pay for themselves a long time before they reach the end of their expected lifespans, leading to significant savings over time.
