Consumer Safety for 4th of July:
Grill Safety B
efore New Yorkers start grilling this holiday weekend, the New York Propane Gas Association (NYPGA) wants consumers to stay safe with these key tips:
Safety for Kids
The grilling area should be designated as a “No Play Zone,” keeping kids and pets away from the equipment. To help kids learn about gas grill safety, the Propane Education & Research Council has launched the fun interactive website www.propanekids.com.
Ventilation
Always keep the lid open when lighting your grill. Don't close it until you are sure the grill is lit. Keep the grill in a well-ventilated outdoor area, at least ten feet away from the house—and at least three feet away from trees and shrubs. Never cover the bottom of the grill with foil - it can restrict air circulation. Always use and store propane cylinders outdoors in an upright position. After filling or exchanging a cylinder, take it home immediately. While transporting the cylinder, keep your vehicle ventilated and the valve closed or capped. Do not leave the cylinder in your vehicle.
Firing Up The Grill Safely Never use matches or lighters to
check for leaks. And never use starter fluid with propane grills. Do not smoke while handling a propane cylinder, and keep all flammable materials away from the grill. If the grill does not ignite within ten seconds, turn off the gas, keep the lid open and wait five minutes before trying again. If the igniter fails to light the grill after two or three tries, turn off the gas and replace the igniter according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Regularly check the tubes that lead into the burner for blockage from insects or food grease. Never attempt to repair, clean or clear blockages on a hot grill.
General Safety Tips Always have one person in charge of the fire at all times. Never leave a hot grill unattended. Never attempt to repair the tank valve or the appliance yourself. See a propane gas dealer or a qualified appliance repair person. Be sure to locate your model number and the manufacturer’s consumer inquiry phone number and write them on the front page of your manual. If you smell gas and you are able to, safely turn off the cylinder vale, turning it to the right (clockwise).
Immediately leave the area and call 911 or your local fire department. Before you use the grill again, have a qualified service technician inspect your cylinder. Propane is a safe, clean, versatile and highly efficient fuel that can be used for other outdoor products to help extend the summer season. Propane is not only the barbecuing fuel of choice, it is also environmentally friendly. The Environmental Protection Agency recognizes propane as a cleanburning gas that releases 105 times less carbon monoxide than charcoal. For more information on the value and safe uses of propane, visit www.nypropane.com and www.proudlypropane.com.
About the New York Propane Gas Association NYPGA is a member-focused trade organization providing services that communicate, educate, and promote the propane industry in New York. The association was formed in 1948 to offer opportunities for training and networking with peers, and to aid with legislative issues that contribute to operating a safe and successful industry.

he unique country cottage at 85 Homestead Road in Narrowsburg has everything one could ask for in a retreat. Conveniently located near Main Street in Narrowsburg, the home is one of only four on the quiet road that was previously the home of the Homestead Boarding House. A walk up the driveway, past the spring fed pond and to the main house takes you to the quiet and comfort of this getaway, surrounded by mature trees, and with views of Ten Mile River. The property is 3.7 acres of four-seasons relaxation. The main home has been lovingly maintained and boasts many of the original features of the cottage depicted in a pencil rendering completed by the home builders and first owners and hung on the living room wall. It’s a reminder of the original intention of the home, and writing in delicate cursive, affixed to the back completes the picture. From glass doorknobs to built-ins and wainscoting, the detail and nostalgia remain. You enter the cottage through the front flagstone screened-in porch, overlooking the river and spring-fed pond.

SULLIVAN COUNTY DEMOCRAT The centerpiece of the living room is a large stone fireplace under a high ceiling. Large river-facing windows drench the hardwood composition with sunlight. Even on an overcast day, the home is bright and immersed in the green of the property. The main floor offers two bedrooms, an updated full bath, bright and cozy country kitchen with plenty of cabinets and counter space, mud room area with exit to the yard, living room, and den. Each room has a touch of the original design: built-ins, cabinetry, lighting fixtures, and hardwood floors, and the backdrop of the natural elements of the property. The second floor offers an open floor plan with a bedroom, large sitting area, and a new full bathroom. Every window has a more impressive view than the last, and the dormered ceilings keep the space cozy. Across the stone driveway is a two car garage with convenient automatic door openers and ample storage for any accessories important to country living. Above the garage, a writer’s loft was CONTINUED ON PAGE 16H
Part of the nearly four acres of land is a large yard between the two cottages. A fire pit is centrally located to both cottages, and the property is lined with mature trees and woods. The lot also slopes down to the pond and a nearly private road with river frontage. The front screened in porch overlooks the river on one side and the front yard and pond on another. Stone floor completes this perfect entryway.
