novelty lighters:

Fire Safety 2014 | Milwaukee Journal Sentinel | A Newspaper in Education Section | www.milwaukeemarketplace.com/specialsections

TooLS NoT ToyS

Children are taught from an early age that lighters are not toys. But novelty lighters are making that distinction between toy and tool more difficult.

Novelty lighters are typically used to light cigarettes, grills and candles, and are available in unique styles and shapes. That uniqueness has caused this type of lighter to come under scrutiny.

“The fact that novelty lighters are the target here is because they are attractive to kids,” said Gerald Minor, Pittsville Area fire chief. “They look like toys. They look like tools. They look like anything.”

Anything is right. Minor said he has a collection of novelty lighters he obtained both as research and as a way to get them off store shelves. One is a guitar that illuminates and blows fire. Some others he has include a sandal, a bullet, an airplane, guns, a cow and a deer. Ironically, Minor even found a novelty lighter modeled after a fire extinguisher.

“It masks the dangers to children,” said Paul Nelson, DeForest Area Fire and EMS District fire chief, and president of Wisconsin State Fire Chiefs Association. “There are times when I’m not so sure, the way some of those look, that parents would recognize that that’s even a lighter.”

Minor said research shows lighters continue to be a leading cause of fires. Although the study does not break down lighters by novelty or regular lighters, the danger remains clear.

“Last year we pulled statistics specific to Wisconsin,” Minor said. “For the last five years with the age bracket of one to 18 – that was the age bracket that we looked at for fire cause and age of who caused – lighters every single year are the number one cause.”

Building the Case Minor is one of the individuals spearheading efforts to pass statewide legislation banning the sale of novelty lighters to minors. The bill’s intention, Minor said, is to save property and lives. Sparked by a second grade class who lost a classmate to a fire, the legislation has been in the works since 2008.

The novelty lighters bill has been introduced to the legislature several times. Although the legislation has the support of many fire service professionals and organizations as well as bipartisan support, it has yet to survive in the legislature at the state’s capitol. However, Madison passed local legislation years ago in an effort to nip the potential hazard in the bud.

lindsey M. Mckee | Contributor

“We were seeing the national stories and children getting burned and the fires associated with that,” said Ed Ruckriegel, fire marshal with the City of Madison Fire Department. “We decided at that time that we would work on a local ordinance prohibiting the retail sale of them.”

Passed in September 2009, the ordinance bans the sale, gift and distribution of novelty lighters in the City of Madison. It provides definitions of novelty lighters and outlines the risks of the toy-like tool. Ruckriegel said he really has not seen problems with novelty lighters in Madison.

In the village of DeForest, Nelson said they revised their fire ordinance in January to include language to keep novelty lighters out of the hands of children. Nelson is working on getting similar language in a formal ordinance for the other townships in his area.

The statewide legislation does not seek to completely ban the sale of novelty lighters, but instead prevents sale to minors by placing them behind counters.

Staying Safe Novelty lighters represent one of many fire risks. Teaching prevention in tandem with knowing how to respond to an emergency are the keys to fire safety.

“Fire safety is not just about leaving things alone but also taking the right steps,” Ruckriegel said.

He suggests a detailed fire evacuation plan and Nelson added practicing that plan with emergency drills to help families stay safe.

The fire service professionals said that if children find a novelty lighter, they should not touch it and just tell an adult. The adult can then take care of handling the lighter and disposing of it properly. Minor added that if adults have novelty lighters, they have the responsibility to keep them out of children’s reach.

“Treat them like a loaded gun,” Minor said. “You wouldn’t leave that lying on the kitchen table if you had a four-year old in the house. A lighter can do as much damage as a loaded gun. It’s the same type of result in the wrong hands. Put them up and put them away.”

This timeline shows how quickly — within 5 minutes — a small fire can become a lifethreatening blaze.

It’s 12:53 a.m.

You and your family are sound asleep.

Ten seconds ago, a small fire started in your living room. In the next five minutes, your life may change forever. Or you may just need to clean up in the morning and air out the house.

It will all depend on whether or not you have fire sprinklers in your home.

Every 84 seconds, a house burns in the United States. More than 3,000 Americans die in fires every year, 85% of them in home fires. The victims are usually children and seniors.

Although the majority of home fires start during the day, most fatal fires start at night. Like this one.

Novelty Lighters: A Hidden Threat to Children Ever since you were a young child, you’ve been warned not to play with matches and lighters. But what happens when you pick up an interesting toy, not knowing that it disguises danger?

TaKE a lOOK aT ThE PhOTOs bElOW. CIRClE ThE PICTuREs OF TOys. MaKE aN X OVER ThE PICTuREs OF lIghTERs.

The natural curiosity that young children possess makes fire especially attractive, but the potential for danger increases when lighters are packaged as novelty items.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that almost 50,000 fires involving playing with fire occur each year. These fires caused annual averages of 80 deaths, 860 injuries, and $235 million in property damage.

Sixteen U.S. states now ban, prohibit, or limit the distribution of novelty lighters. The City of Madison passed an ordinance in 2009 prohibiting the retail sale and distribution of novelty or toy-like lighters. However, legislation failed at the state level.

Lighters that look like toys pose the risk of both children and adults accidently lighting them. For children especially, this can quickly turn into a dangerous situation that can cause burns or damage property.

Sometimes, parents even purchase the lighters for the children, thinking they are toys.

These are just a few incidents that have occurred in recent years: Two young children in Arkansas died after setting fire to their apartment with a motorcycle-shaped lighter.

A 6-year-old who was shopping with his mother picked up a miniature baseball bat and flicked the switch, thinking it was a flashlight. A flame shot out, singeing his eyebrow and burning part of his face.

A fire marshal in Wisconsin was making a purchase at a local home improvement store when his 12-year-old daughter picked up what she believed was a tape measure.

When she clicked the button on the tape measure, a flame came out.

In North Carolina, a 6-year-old boy was burned after playing with a lighter that looked like a toy cell phone.

In Oregon, one child died and another was permanently brain damaged after a 6-year-old, playing with a lighter that looked like a toy dolphin, started a fire.

Surprise! They are all novelty lighters. Year after year, hundreds of children suffer burns after playing with matches and lighters.

More states are working on laws that will ban or limit distribution of dangerous toylike lighters. Now that you know more about them, please remember to look closely and carefully before you pick up that “toy.”

Children who know to stay away from matches and lighters can’t make that judgement if the “toy” they pick up turns out to be a lighter. Accidents often happen when children try to find out how the “toy” works, only to see it light up instead. In their surprise, and sometimes panic, they may easily drop the lighter on or next to something that will burn.

DO YOUR PART AND bE SAfETY SmART® DURINg the Upcoming Holiday Season!

Fire Safety 2014 | Milwaukee Journal Sentinel | A Newspaper in Education Section | www.milwaukeemarketplace.com/specialsections

Because we are so busy during the holiday season, we often forget to consider about our safety when preparing for the Christmas season. Think about a Christmas tree, for example. Our extensive research completed at UL (Underwriters Laboratories) proves that real trees can burn much faster when they are not properly watered. Well watered trees burn at a much slower rate, and can make the difference between life and death in the event of a fire. Dried out trees don’t absorb water well, and pose a fire hazard. So be sure to water your real trees daily. Also, keep trees away from heat vents or radiators because they give off heat and dry out trees very quickly.

4

During this upcoming holiday season, UL reminds you to Do Your Part and Be Safety Smart!

When assembling your electrical decorations for any holiday, examine them for damages before putting them up. If you spot any defected wires or sockets, throw them out as they may pose a fire or a shock hazard. Replace damaged lights with new UL Certified decorations to prevent a fire from occurring in your home. Also, did you know that some decorations are intended for indoor use only while others can safely be used both in and outdoors? Take a look at the UL label. Decorations meant for indoor use only are marked with a green “UL” inside a circle. .

However, if the UL in a circle is red, the decoration is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use, because it has been tested for rain, cold weather, and other outdoor elements.

Keep in mind that candles start more than 10,000 fires each year. Be sure to keep any flammable items away from a lit candle- wrapping paper, evergreen boughs and any other decoration

that could catch on fire when the candle burns down to the bottom. Also, never leave a candle burning when no one is in the room. Although it may feel inconvenient to blow out a candle each time you leave a room - many fires have started within just two minutes after someone left a room.

Toys are a part of many holiday celebrations. If you’re giving toys to your little ones this Christmas, pay attention to the manufacturer’s age recommendation because infants and toddlers put small items in their mouth. Also, use responsibility when putting together toys that need assembly before the kids play with them. Always remember to dispose of any wrapping materials after opening toys since small children are known to choke on plastic or paper pieces. Remember to never dispose of wrapping paper in a fireplace. Paper and plastic are much lighter than wood and can fly up the chimney, causing your home to fill up with smoke, requiring the fire department to clear the chimney.

It’s my job with Safe Kids Wisconsin to teach parents and children all of the ways to prevent and escape fires. I’m continually delivering messages about how families should check their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, change batteries when needed, have their chimneys cleaned, and have a professional inspect their furnace or water heater. But this year, I got a personal lesson on the topic of fire prevention after my home became one of the 350,000 annually in the United States to have a fire.

It all happened one cold Wisconsin night, when we had started a fire in our woodstove. As we got ready for bed, we made sure we closed the air off to the stove, because without oxygen, a fire will go out. Just three hours after going to bed, I awoke to the sound of a beep coming from the basement. Sure enough, it was the smoke and carbon monoxide alarm.

Thankfully, we all made it out of the house safely. Practicing our escape plan helped us get out quickly, but there was one thing that truly saved our lives, as seat belts will protect us if there is an automobile accident, smoke alarms will warn us if there is a fire. Had the smoke alarm not gone off, we all would have slept through the fire and it would not have ended so well.

It just goes back to that message we always hear — go home and check your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, change the batteries as necessary, and practice your fire-escape plan.

A fire can happen to anyone, anywhere. Make sure you’re prepared.

new study shows Homeowners Prefer a Home Protected With

Fire Safety 2014 | Milwaukee Journal Sentinel | A Newspaper in Education Section | www.milwaukeemarketplace.com/specialsections

Fire SPriNkLerS

In a new national Harris Poll survey conducted on behalf of the nonprofit Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition (HFSC), 74% of U.S. homeowners said they would be more likely to buy a home with fire sprinklers than one without. Seven in 10 homeowners said a sprinklered house has more value and nearly 8 in 10 (78%) said fire sprinklers provide the ultimate protection for residents.

Updating the national benchmark study previously commissioned by HFSC, this 2014 data demonstrates several areas of improved awareness of fire sprinkler life-safety benefits. It also underscores the importance of ongoing education and outreach to overcome common myths and misconceptions about home fire sprinklers.

“It’s certainly encouraging to see that 59% of homeowners say fire safety is very important to them and that the majority would rather buy a sprinklered home,” says HFSC President Lorraine Carli. “But we are also reminded of how much awareness work there still is to do. For example, just half the homeowners recognize the increased fire hazards associated with lightweight residential construction to residents and firefighters, and only about a third of homeowners understand how open design increases the danger of a home fire.”

Considering how much new home construction across the country incorporates both of these features, it is clear that consumers need to have access to factual information about home fire sprinklers before they build or buy. The survey findings show that when they do have this information, they’ll be more inclined to ask for home fire sprinklers.

The common myth that all the fire sprinklers immediately spray water when a fire breaks out remains a roadblock to homeowner interest. However, when homeowners were told that sprinklers operate independently and that just one sprinkler is typically needed to control a fire, approximately threequarters became more interested in a sprinklered home. Nearly 70% of homeowners’ interest boosted when they learned smoke cannot set off a fire sprin-

kler. “When told the facts, the number of homeowners who felt sprinklers were essential or important grew by 27 percentage points,” Carli notes.

HFSC has been working to increase knowledge about the dangers of home fires and the life-safety benefits of installing home fire sprinklers since 1996.

The nonprofit coalition provides free information and educational materials with tailored content to meet the needs of the public, the fire service, local officials and a variety of professions that play a role in home ownership.

The new Harris Poll confirmed the long-held faith that consumers have in their local fire departments. While homeowners often receive information about home safety features from their builder, 93% of them said that firefighters are a more trustworthy source for fire safety. Also, nearly half of homeowners say they have more confidence in homebuilders who offer sprinklers than those who do not.

The research was underwritten by a federal Fire Prevention & Safety grant, providing a wealth of insight into consumer knowledge and preferences, including differing viewpoints about fire sprinklers among age groups.

The survey was conducted online in May 2014 among 1,026 U.S. homeowners. HFSC will publish additional findings throughout the summer on HomeFireSprinkler.org, through Facebook, and on Twitter at @HFSCorg.

HFSC was formed in 1996 to inform the public about the life-saving value of fire sprinkler protection in one- and two-family homes. HFSC is a purely educational 501(c) (3) charitable organization and the leading resource for independent, noncommercial information about home fire sprinklers.

About the survey This survey was conducted on behalf of the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition among 1,026 U.S. homeowners from April 30 to May 7, 2014. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.

Be a detective on the case — of fire safety in your home

at home

Your role is to investigate and report on possible fire hazards so your family can correct them and make your home safe.

Part 1

Prepare

Preparation is an important first step for anything you plan to do.

For fire safety, this means making sure that everyone knows important information like addresses and telephone numbers.

This information should be kept in a convenient location, perhaps on your refrigerator or on a bulletin board near a telephone, so it can be found immediately. This information is especially important for younger children.

Important Information 1 ) The number we should call in case of a fire is

_________________________________ Remember: Get out first, then report the fire from a safe location.

Make sure young children understand not to use 911 unless a real emergency exists accidental or false 911 calls tie up critical personnel and resources; it is against the law to make a false 911 phone call.

Take this safety pledge:

“I understand that matches and lighters are not toys and should only be used by adults.

I promise NOT to use matches or lighters, and to never play with fire.”

Sign your name here:

smoke alarms 2 ) Write down the following information on a

sheet of paper. Keep this list where you can find it easily: • Local fire department phone number • Local police department phone number • Home phone number • Parent(s)’ or guardian(s)’ work number(s) • Your street address • The city you live in

3 ) Check the front of your house - are the address numbers easily visible from the street in case a firefighter needs to find your home?

If the numbers are not clear, how would you describe your home to make it easy for emergency personnel to find? (Color, landmarks, or any other unique features can all help fire personnel identify your house.)

Smoke alarms are a critical first line of defense from fires, and are required in homes under Wisconsin law. Smoke alarms on living levels should be placed in a central

location such as a hallway.

Follow these steps to ensure that your smoke alarms are in place and operating properly.

4 ) COUNt SMOKE aLarMS There are ________ smoke alarms in our home. (There should be AT LEAST ONE on EVERY LEVEL of your home including one in every occupied sleeping area, and include the basement, where a fire may start unnoticed.)

5 ) tESt SMOKE aLarMS MONtHLY Push the test button on each alarm to ensure it is working properly. Familiarize yourself with how the alarm sounds, so if you hear a smoke alarm, you’ll know what to do.

6 ) CLEaN tHE SMOKE aLarMS Open your alarms and gently vacuum or clean any dust or other contaminants that could block the vents and prevent the alarm from working.

7 ) SEt UP a MaINtENaNCE SCHEDULE If your family doesn’t have a regular maintenance schedule for the smoke alarms, now is the time to create one. Start by replacing all smoke alarm batteries and replace them again

within 12 months. Buy new smoke alarms every 10 years.

Fire strikes more than a million times a year in the United States. That’s a big number, but people never expect a fire to happen to them. What’s really sad is that most fires could have been prevented by following common sense, safety steps.

Today your family is counting on you to do some careful checking throughout your home.

You also will need to plan escape routes and practice fire drills at your house.

Here’s your chance – show your skills!

Many fires are caused by carelessness or by not noticing what could turn into a dangerous situation. These fires can be prevented with education, common sense and planning.

Check it out:

Go on a fire safety check around your home, looking for fire-risk situations. Once you complete your checklist, find any NO boxes that you checked. These risks need to be fixed immediately.

6) Have flashlights available should the power go out.

7) In case of a fire, try to cover your nose and mouth with a wet cloth to avoid smoke. Smoke and gases rise, so practice staying low and crawling.

8) Remind young children in your family that if a fire occurs, DON’T HIDE! In many instances, a child will become frightened and hide in a closet or under a bed and become trapped.

9) Practice testing the door for heat with the back of your hand. Close doors behind you when leaving a room to help slow down a fire.

Are keys readily available for dead-bolted locks?

Do security bars on doors and windows have quick-release devices inside?

Can dead-bolt or other locks be opened without a key from inside the house, and do children know how to open all locks?

Can all family members unlatch door and window locks?

Are passageways and exits well lit and clear of obstructions? Do you have night lights in rooms and hallways to help with your exit?

Are there fire extinguishers in your home or apartment building? Adult family members should know the location of fire extinguishers and how to use them.

Be sure you know where the fire escape is.

Count the number of doors in your building to get to the exit, because in a fire, you may not be able to see an exit sign.

There are ________ doors to our nearest exit.

NEVER use the elevator if there is a fire in the building. The elevator may fail and go to the floor where the fire is.

You solved the case!

Your investigating has helped to protect your home from fire.

Your family can count on you for safety. after all, prevention is the best way to fight fires!

Practice

You’re an ace detective! Your skill and careful planning now bring you to the final piece — practicing your escape plans.

Schools have fire drills to make sure all the students and teachers know what to do when the alarm goes off. Having fire drills at home is a great idea too! Practicing is the best way to increase the chances that everyone will get out safely if a fire occurs.

Since many house fires occur at night, you may want to practice one of these drills at bedtime. To begin, have your family members lie in bed with their eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.

Before you start a drill, go over the steps listed to ensure that everyone knows what to do.

Fire Drill No. 1 1 ) DISCUSS with everyone in the family what the primary exit route is (such as getting out through the bedroom’s door) and what the secondary exit route is (such as using the room’s window if the door is blocked by fire).

2 ) aCtIvatE YOUr SMOKE aLarM using the test button so everyone knows what it sounds like.

3 ) CHECK YOUr DOOr — Remember to feel the door with the back of your hand. In a real fire, don’t open the door if it feels warm!

4 ) EXIt the house following your primary exit route.

Move swiftly, but don’t run.

5 ) CLOSE aLL DOOrS behind you as you leave.

Closing doors helps slow the spread of fire and smoke.

6 ) GatHEr at your predetermined meeting place and make sure everyone is accounted for. In the event of an actual fire, if someone is not accounted for — DO NOT RETURN TO THE HOME. When firefighters arrive on the scene, you will need to let them know who’s missing, and their probable location in the home.

7 ) taLK about how the fire drill went. Did everyone know the exit route and meeting place? Are there any problems that need to be addressed so that exiting would be safer?

Fire Drill No. 2 What to do if trapped by fire This drill helps people cope with the most serious of emergency fire situations — being caught in a room with a fire right outside the door and no safe way to get out.

1 ) StaY SaFE FrOM SMOKE — Stay low! Use a wet cloth or towel to cover your mouth and nose to protect yourself from smoke and harmful gases.

2 ) CHECK YOUr DOOr — For this drill, pretend the door is warm and cannot be opened. If you cannot safely exit a room, your top priority now is to make sure firefighters can locate you and help you get out safely. Emergency personnel arrive at a fire scene very quickly — usually within 5 or 10 minutes of receiving a call for help.

3 ) LEt FIrEFIGHtErS KNOW WHErE YOU arE — If you are unable to get out of the room, go to the window, wave a towel or bed sheet and shout so emergency personnel can find you. If it is nighttime, waving a flashlight or lamp also can help firefighters spot you more quickly.

(If you have Internet access, you can find free Home Fire Escape Plan grids at www.nfpa.org) 2) Using a brightly colored marker, highlight two separate evacuation routes for each bedroom. One exit may need to be a window if fire blocks a door. Second-story rooms should have access to a ladder or other means of safe exit.

3) Establish a meeting place outside, in front of the house. Our family’s outside meeting place is: ___________________ 4) Plan where you can phone the fire department from after you have gotten out of the house.

Talking About

fIRE SAfETY

with your children

You’ve equipped your home with all the necessary precautions for a fire. But smoke detectors and fire extinguishers aren’t enough to keep your children prepared. Equip your family with safety knowledge by teaching them about fire hazards and how to react if a fire sparks in the home. identify your Home’s Hazards Stop, Drop and roll Most of the fire hazards within a home are in the kitchen. Read our tips on cooking safety below to better familiarize yourself with kitchen fire hazards. The most important lesson to teach young children is that the kitchen stove is hot, and they should keep away from it when it’s in use. When your children are older and ready to begin cooking for themselves, then you can instruct them further on individual appliance safety and extinguishing cooking fires.

Playing with matches is another major source of home fires. Children as young as two years old can strike matches and start fires, so be sure to keep your matches and lighters safely tucked away in locked drawers. Teach children not to pick up matches or lighters they may find, but to tell an adult immediately instead.

You should also inform your children about the following hazards: Aerosol cans: These can explode if placed near stoves, radiators, or other sources of heat.

Candles: Candles can start fires if placed near flammable materials, and their hot wax can burn skin. Never let children light candles, and get in the habit of blowing out any candles before leaving a room.

Electrical cords: Fraying cords can ignite a fire, so show children how to recognize one.

Lamps: Explain that paper or cloth over a lamp can start a fire.

Iron: Warn children to stay away from an iron standing on end.

Christmas trees: Live trees dry out when they aren’t properly watered, and are highly flammable.

Teaching children this important safety move can prevent serious burns if their clothes are on fire. Have them demonstrate the steps for you, and remind them to cover their face and mouth.

Practice with Games A good way to get children involved in fire safety is to practice fun activities. A fire drill every few months will get children interested with the change in routine. Start the drill with a smoke alarm, so children can recognize the beep as an early warning to fire. Have them follow an evacuation plan and make sure they know the chosen safe spot to meet outside the house.

9-1-1 is No Joke Children who are old enough to understand the telephone should be taught to call 9-1-1 at the first sign of an emergency, provided they have first gotten themselves to safety.

Kids may think it’s funny to prank call 9-1-1, so stress that it is against the law and carries consequences.

When someone suffers a burn injury, the recovery is usually a long up and down battle.

Some say that the pain associated with a burn injury is like no other. Usually, multiple surgeries are required to help the burned skin heal. Burn injuries are prone to infection, so some patients balance between life and death when fighting the infection.

With a burn injury, a lot of work must be done to stay healthy even after leaving the hospital. Lily and Grace, like many burn survivors, had to wear compression garments for several months after the accident. Compression garments are worn after a burn to control scarring, to help the scar mature, and to improve the appearance of your injured skin. Some people, like Lily, have to wear a custom made plastic mask to help the skin on the face heal. When you wear garments and a mask, you are usually the only one wearing them and sometimes people stare. One of the most difficult parts of a burn injury can be accepting the new appearance of your body with scars and maybe limitations.

If you see someone with a burn injury, please don’t stare, but maybe smile instead. If you have a question, just ask it. After all, a stare is really just an unanswered question. Mostly, just remember that a person with a burn injury is a person first. They have interests, feelings, family, just like you and me.

When you are faced with challenges in your life, take note of a few things that Gracie and Lily did and do today to remain strong and healthy.

My daughters break their problems down into small pieces. They surround themselves with people that know, love and support them. They pursue their goals and dreams and try new experiences. When they feel sad or angry, they talk about their feelings with someone they love. One of Lily’s favorite quotes that she remembers when life seems challenging is, “It is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain.” (Vivian Greene) If you know someone that has experienced a burn injury, let them know about a great, supportive resource called The Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors, http://www.phoenix-society. org/resources/resource-center/. The Phoenix Society provides a compassionate community that empowers everyone impacted by a burn injury to live the fullest life possible.

Electricity and natural gas are important parts of your daily life. You use them to heat your home, cook your food and power things like TVs and computers. That’s why it’s important to use energy safely. Follow these rules to stay safe around electricity and natural gas:

Stay away from power lines.

Stay far away from all power lines – especially when they’re lying on the ground.

Never climb trees or fly kites near power lines. And don’t release metallic balloons outdoors – they may touch power lines, causing fires and outages.

Natural gas smells like rotten eggs.

If you smell natural gas, do not use a light switch or even a phone, which could generate a spark and cause a fire or explosion. Get everyone out of the house and tell a trusted adult to call We Energies for help.

Mr. Ouch means danger.

Never play near electrical equipment such as substations, power poles or transformers (green boxes). When you see Mr. Ouch, don’t touch.

Outlets are for plugs.

Don’t put your fingers or any object other than a plug into an electrical outlet. And keep electrical appliances away from water. Electricity + Water = DANGER.

Call before you dig.

Before doing any digging or planting in your yard, call Diggers Hotline at 811 to have public underground utilities marked for free. And don’t pull out marker flags until the work is complete; others working in your yard may need to know where underground utilities are located to avoid a dangerous accident.

Go to we-energies.com for more energy safety information.

once Upon a Time...

It had been a great summer, and tonight was going to be especially memorable. You would be starting back to school soon, so your parents had said you could invite some friends to come and celebrate the last few days of summer. A few of your little sister’s friends were coming, too. It would be a fun end-of-summer celebration.

The branches piled up quickly, and your dad topped them with a bunch of old newspapers to get the fire going. You and your friends were sitting around, reminiscing about the good times you’d had over the past summer. Mom and Dad went inside to prepare to some snacks because everyone was getting a little hungry.

Stacy wanted the blaze bigger, so she and some of her friends began to throw more and more branches on the burning embers.

Unfortunately, somebody tossed a few moist logs on the pile, and soon the fire began to “die down.” You and the other guys called Stacy a loser and started poking at the fire with some branches, hoping to rekindle the smoldering flames. Soon, almost everyone

Tommy, your best buddy, noticed the identifiable red gasoline can sitting next to the lawn mower inside the open garage and announced he had a plan. He grabbed the container of gasoline, and as he approached the flame, he shouted, “Stand back! I’ve got this under control. ” Big mistake!

As Tommy got close to the fire, he felt a gusty breeze. Suddenly, he heard a pop— sizzle—and whoosh! The fumes from the gasoline had ignited, and they were traveling toward him fast!. Tommy panicked and threw the can. Directly in its path, you saw your little sister and her friend, Gracey chatting inattentively, and in seconds they were in full blaze. The gasoline had splashed onto them, and an airborne fireball ensued.

You shrieked for your parents as someone called 911 on a cell phone; others yelled to the girls: “Stop, drop and roll.” Within minutes, your sister’s life, your life and the lives of your friends and family had changed.

This had, indeed, become a get-together to remember.

But wait—it didn’t happen yet.

Fortunately, you can rewrite this story. Just remember to use the following safety tips, and your story can end with a get-together you and your friends will WANT to remember. By using these safety tips, you can confidently write the last line: ..and they all lived happily ever after! THE END Well actually, it’s just the beginning. Have a great school year.

BoNFire SAFeTy TiPS

Always have adult supervision.

Limit the number of people at the bonfire gathering.

Designate only one responsible person to add wood to the fire.

Check weather conditions. Wind may be an issue; always build your bonfire downwind of people.

Never use flammable liquids to light the fire or increase the blaze of the bonfire.

Limit the size of the fire; bigger is not always better.

Maintain a safety zone of at least three feet when standing around the bonfire with a group of people.

Never drink alcohol at a bonfire gathering; it can cloud your judgment.

It’s Fire Prevention Week! NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), the official sponsor of FPW for more than 90 years, has selected the theme, “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month.”

Did you know that a smoke alarm can detect a fire and sound an alarm, letting you know you need to quickly get outside? However, a smoke alarm will sound only if it has power.

The best way to be sure smoke alarms have power is to test them at least once a month.

While testing smoke alarms is a job for a grown-up, you can remind grownups to test all the smoke alarms in your home.

You can also help grownups inspect to be sure there are enough smoke alarms in your home. Everyone needs a smoke alarm where they sleep. That means you need a smoke alarm inside your bedroom. You should also check to be sure there is an alarm in the hallway, just outside the sleeping area. You also need a smoke alarm on every level of your home including the basement.

Check to be sure your home has enough smoke alarms, and if not, ask an adult to install more alarms.

Once you have enough working smoke alarms in your home, you need to know what to do if the smoke alarm sounds. There are four important things you should do.

1. Stop what you are doing. Get up and walk.

2. Remember to know two ways out of every room.

3. Get yourself outside quickly.

4. Go to your outside meeting place with your family.

Visit sparkyschoolhouse.org for free apps, music videos and an E-book to learn more about fire safety. Sparky the Fire Dog® has exciting things to do on his special website for FPW, sparky.org/FPW, and lots of fun games at sparky.org.

Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives. Make sure you have working smoke alarms in your home. And, if your smoke alarms are more than 10 years old, tell a grownup to replace them. Happy Fire Prevention Week to everyone!

It was getting late in the evening now, and somebody suggested, “Let’s have a bonfire tonight.” Your mom and dad are pretty easygoing, and although it was a little windy outside, they agreed to the bonfire. About 10-12 people had gathered, and were talking and laughing as they searched the yard for dried branches beneath the tree limbs.

This was quickly becoming a get-together to remember.

January typically is coldest month

The coldest week of the winter continues for the state, with high temperatures today in the low teens and single digits. Sunshine should return as the air is very dry, so expect mostly sunny JOHN MALAN skies in many locations across the CHIEF METEOROLOGIST state. The rest of the week will be chilly STORM TEAM 4 also, with more below-zero temperatures at night through Friday and daytime high temperatures well below normal. The next time Milwaukee experiences a high temperature above 20 will probably be Sunday.

Low temperatures at or lower than minus 20 are rare in Milwaukee and are considered brutally cold by all standards in this state. January is filled with daily record low temperatures that drop lower than minus 20.

While the daily record lowest temperature for Milwaukee today is 18 degrees below zero, set in 1912, yesterday’s record coldest was minus 24 and tomorrow’s is minus 21. In all, there are 21 days this month with daily record low temperatures at or lower than minus 21.

Compare that to the seven days for February and five for December, and it isn’t hard to understand why January is considered the coldest month on average for Milwaukee and Wisconsin.

PGA announces nominees Guild’s awards bellwether for Oscars Los Angeles Times

The Producers Guild of America, a major bellwether for the best picture Oscar, announced on Monday the nominees for its Darryl F. Zanuck producer of the year award for motion pictures: “American Sniper,” “Birdman,” “Boyhood,” “Foxcatcher,” “Gone Girl,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “The Imitation Game,” “Nightcrawler,” “The Theory of Everything” and “Whiplash.”

Notably missing from the list: “Selma” and “Unbroken.”

Last year, “12 Years a Slave” and “Gravity” tied for the Zanuck award, and “12 Years a Slave” won the Oscar for best film.

The last time the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences best picture winner didn’t also win the PGA’s top prize was eight years ago,

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bradley Cooper stars in “American Sniper,” one of the 10 Producers Guild of America producer of the year award nominees. when the academy selected Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed” and the PGA chose “Little Miss Sunshine.”

The 26th Producers Guild Awards will be handed out on Jan. 24 in Los Angeles.

Monday’s PGA nominations — along with those of the Art Directors Guild, which unveiled nominees Monday in multiple catego-

ries, including period, fantasy and contemporary film — kicked off the start of Hollywood’s awards season in earnest.

The Golden Globe Awards are given out Sunday night, with nominations for the Directors Guild of America’s awards announced Jan. 12.

The Oscars announce their nominees Jan. 15.

MARVEL

Making major push into television D’Arcy noted between takes.

For Marvel, the coming year will see a major push into television with not only “Agent Carter” joining “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” on ABC but also two new 13-episode series debuting on Netflix: “Daredevil,” starring Charlie Cox as the blind superhero, and “A.K.A. Jessica

Jones,” with Krysten Ritter as a private investigator in New York City.

“Agent Carter,” however, is unique in terms of its overt connections to both the company’s blockbuster movies and its 1940s setting. The show is set one year after the events depicted in “Captain America: The First Avenger,” with Peggy grieving for Steve Rogers, who is purported to have died in a plane crash in the Arctic.

“Peggy thinks he’s dead, everyone in the world thinks he’s dead,” said Marvel’s head of television, Jeph Loeb.

“These are the struggles and the triumphs, what happened to her next.”

When the new series opens, Peggy is now working for the

Strategic Scientific Reserve, where despite her impressive record of wartime service, she is relegated on the basis of her gender to glorified secretarial duties. After some of Stark’s more dangerous inventions turn up on the black market, she sets out to clear his name with the help of his man Friday, Edwin Jarvis (D’Arcy).

“I knew that they were going to be able to give her an emotional journey, make her more three-dimensional, talk about the psychological cost of leading a double life as well as losing the love of your life,” said Atwell. “There was a lot to explore with her, so creatively speaking, it was interesting. It was enough for me to grab hold of.”

Springing into summer Hometown News LP will publish its annual summer gardening and outdoor living guide, “Spring Into Summer,” on May 22. The guide is distributed free to subscribers to any of the company’s community newspapers.

The main local feature is a profile on Garden Prairie Farm in Sun Prairie. Meet the couple behind the thriving greenhouse and gardening center that brings new life to a former farm site. The business offers a wide variety of flowers and vegetables for gardening enthusiasts.

Also inside, readers will learn eco-friendly weed control ideas for lawns, mosquito prevention practices, tips for updating your outdoor landscaping, home improvement ideas that promote a healthier living environment, important considerations for those planning to list their homes for sale, gardening advice and

“It’s even on your truck as you’re hauling something away, going to the workday, coming home from the workday,” Rick Schmidt said.

“We’re looking for help.”

One simple way residents can help out, Marty Schmidt said, is to cruise by town hall on the weekends.

“Behind our town hall, on Saturday nights it has become a local ‘lover’s lane’,” Schmidt told the board.

“There is evidence of that, I’ll leave that to your imagination.”

He’s asking anyone who sees suspicious activity to contact him or the Columbia County Sheriff’s Department.

Last year, he said volunteers repainted the town hall on Bilkie Road. The outside of the gym will be repainted this year, but Schmidt said the parks department will probably go with a professional company.

“As you can tell from the inside, this is a rather tall wall,” he said. “I don’t feel comfortable asking volunteers to climb up there.”

Midsummer Nights in Dekorra will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a bang this year, after the town board approved a sizable donation last week, acting on a directive issued by town residents at the annual meeting.

Town treasurer, Peggy Tomlinson, said the money will come from the town’s park budget.

“We haven’t had any town funding for the event,” town supervisor and fireworks committee chairman Mark Niebuhr said at On the web the April http://dekorrameetwi.gov/ ing.

“Think of it as $1,000 for every year we’ve had the fireworks.”

Niebuhr said the money will be used to help commemorate the event’s 10th year by bringing in Ace Pyro, a Michigan company, specializing in fireworks programs set to music, also called “pyromusicals”.

Attendees will be able to tune into their radios to listen to music synchronized to the Saturday, July 19 firework show.

T E B

Norregaard, a junior guard, has been lighting nets on fire all across the Big Eight Conference.

Norregaard erupted for 32 points in a Jan. 24 win at Janesville Parker, the most points by a Cardinals player in 20 years. Norregaard followed that up with a 26-point effort against Madison East.

Norregaard, who transferred to Middleton from Denmark this fall, has reached double figures in 10 straight games. She also leads the Cardinals with 14.1 points per game.

“She has the green light because she’s a great shooter,” Middleton coach Jeff Kind said. “There was a little bit of an adjustment period for her at the start of the year. But she’s played terrific.

She’s been a huge addition for us.”

Carey, a senior forward, leads the Cardinals in goals scored (17) and total points (31).

Carey has also had a hat trick in two of his last three games. Carey scored three goals in wins over both Janesville and Waunakee.

“Jordan is a special player,” Middleton interim coach Steffon Walby said. “He has the ability to take over a game at a moments notice. When he is mentally sharp and plays a physical game, he can be the best player on the ice.”

Recently, Patrick won the 800meter run at the ultra-competitive Myrhum Invitational. Patrick was also part of the Cardinals’ 1,600meter relay team that finished first.

“Bobbi is so versatile and the 800 is a race that she loves and is really aiming for a school record in,” Middleton coach Tara Franklin said. “She is very close to getting it and we will all be so happy for her once it happens.”

Miller, a senior pitcher and third baseman, is a huge reason the Cardinals are in the hunt for a Big Eight Conference championship.

Miller is 5-0 in conference games with a 2.85 ERA. In 34.1 innings pitched, Miller has struck out 33 batters and opponents are hitting just .215 against him.

At the plate, Miller is batting .386 and has a .500 slugging percentage. In addition, Miller’s fielding percentage is a stellar .963.

“Kasey’s having a great year … really in all areas,” Middleton manager Tom Schmitt said. “He’s been really big for us.”

Get started right now on garlic crop for next year

By NICK SCHULTZ Special to The Gazette If you love to cook, and you love to garden, you probably grow garlic. If you don’t grow it yet, get started this week. Growing your own garlic will save money and give you more options for the type and taste.

In Wisconsin, September is the best time to plant garlic. It needs a cold period to develop bulbs. Planting within a week or two of the first killing frost allows roots to develop and shoots to emerge from the clove but not grow above the soil by the first hard freeze.

Plant cloves upright, with blunt end down, three to six inches apart and about two inches deep. Choose a fall-planting variety, which typically has stronger shoots and larger, tastier bulbs.

Some varieties can be planted in early spring but are less robust.

We were pleased with our garlic crop this year, and we’ve already used it up in salsa, pizza sauce and more. Garlic stores well, especially the soft-neck types. Plan for a crop you’ll use for six months or more.

When purchasing garlic for planting, note that some varieties have more cloves than others. Separate the individual cloves from the bulb just before planting. The largest cloves will produce the largest bulbs.

Don’t plant cloves from garlic purchased at a grocery store. Many varieties better suited to growing in cold climates are available.

Garlic does best in full sun in well-drained soil high in organic matter. Water well, espe-

cially in sandy soils.

Garlic may be damaged in winter, so mulch well. Mulch with three or four inches of clean straw or marsh hay after planting to minimize soil temperature fluctuations. Remove mulch in spring after the threat of hard freeze has passed. When shoots are about six inches tall, reuse the mulch to help control weeds.

Long days and warmer temperatures of late spring encourage bulb growth. When leaves of the plant begin to dry in mid-summer, stop watering. Harvest in mid-July. Garlic left in the ground will start to develop new roots from each of the cloves by late summer.

Hundreds of varieties of garlic exist. They are broadly grouped as hardneck or softneck.

Hardneck types produce a woody flower stalk, known as a scape. They typically have four to 12 cloves in a single circle surrounding the stiff stalk. They perform best where winters are long and the growing season is shorter. Within this group, Susan Mahr, coordinator of the Wisconsin Master Gardener Association, highlights are three subdivisions: Rocamboles (R) are the most commonly

grown hardneck garlics. They have exceptional flavor, a spreading shape and tightly coiled flower stalk. The bulbs have six to 11 plump, easy-to-peel cloves. They can be stored three or four months.

Porcelain (P) garlics are less common in North America. They are taller than Rocamboles, with four to six large cloves that are more difficult to peel. They store four to eight months. Flavor is mild at harvest and intensifies during storage.

Purple Stripe (PS) garlics have bright purple streaks on bulb wrappers and clove skins.

They are also flavorful, store slightly longer than Rocamboles and peel easily.

Softneck types don’t form a scape and can be braided. They typically produce 10-40 cloves in several layers. They last six to nine months in storage. These bulbs lack the flavor of hardneck garlic, having either a hot or mild taste. In general, a cold winter climate makes the taste hotter. They can further be categorized as Artichoke (A) or Silverskin (S). They perform best in mild winter climates.

Note that Elephant garlic is a type of leek, not a true garlic. Extremely large bulbs can weigh as much as a pound. The flavor is milder than garlic.

Here are varieties Mahr recommends for Wisconsin: * ‘Brown Tempest’ (PS) – The fiery flavor mellows to a pleasing aftertaste. It stores longer than many hardnecks. * ‘Chesnock Red’ (PS)– a good performer that retains flavor after it is cooked.

* ‘Georgian Crystal’ (P) – large white bulbs have mild but robust flavor. It is good in pesto and salsa. * ‘German Extra Hardy’ (P) -large, fullbodied white cloves are best used raw. * ‘Inchelium’ or ‘Inchellium Red’ (A) – vigorous with mild taste. It stores well and is difficult to peel. * ‘Italian Late’ (A) –fat cloves with rich flavor can be planted in spring. It stores six to nine months. * ‘Killarney Red’ (R) – is adapted to wet conditions and has pink easy-to-peel cloves. * ‘Korean Red’ (PS) – produces easy-topeel cloves with hot flavor. * ‘Music’ (P) – large bulbs similar to ‘German White’ with robust flavor. * ‘Silver Rose’ (S) –can be planted in spring and stores up to eight months. * ‘Spanish Roja’ (R) – large cloves peel easily and have subtle flavor, good raw.

Garlic is sensitive to moisture stress during bulbing, from the end of May to mid-July.

Lack of water results in smaller bulbs and earlier maturity.

The scapes of hardneck garlic can be removed just after curling starts.

Knowing when to harvest is a little tricky, Mahr notes, because different varieties mature at different times. In general, garlic is ready to harvest when half of the leaves have turned brown. Test a few plants to see if cloves fill the skins. Artichoke types generally mature first, followed by the hardneck (See Gardener, page 35)

Shankland visits CAP Services’ Children’s Discovery Center State Rep. Katrina Shankland, D-Stevens Point, visited CAP Services’ recently expanded Children’s Discovery Center in Stevens Point Monday, Nov. 17.

“Early childhood education is critical to our community’s success,” said Shankland.

“Great child care presents opportunities to children and the parents both, and it is wonderful to see such a great facility right here in our community.”

CAP’s Children’s Discovery Center, located in the Portage County Business Park, offers year-round full- and part-time child care to children ages 6 weeks to 8 years and provides on-site 4-Year-Old Kindergarten, Head Start and Early Head Start services.

Child care enrollment is open to all families regardless of income.

Shankland toured the facility and spoke to staff about some of the challenges faced by child care providers in the state.

CAP opened the Children’s Discovery Center child care facility in the Portage County Business Park in the fall of 2009 to meet the needs of the families in the community and surrounding areas.

CAP worked with Ellis Stone, the original contractor on the project, to expand the facility this summer, allowing for increased child care enrollment slots and to provide Early Head Start services.

“This expansion allowed us to offer more services to our children, families and community,” said Carla Kluz, CAP vice president and Early Childhood Development (ECD) director. “Our vision is to continue to bring about high-quality care and education to all the children and families that we serve.”

Children’s Discovery Center has a fivestar rating in Wisconsin’s YoungStar program. YoungStar is a program of Wisconsin’s Department of Children and Families created to improve the quality of child care for Wisconsin children.

YoungStar evaluates and rates the quality of care given by child care providers, helps parents choose the best child care for their

SENIOR CARE

DENTIST

Q. Is your elder in pain and taking prescribed medicine such as Vicodin or Percocet?

A. Many of these prescription pain medications have Acetaminophen (Tylenol) in them. Make sure your elder does

Q. Why do I get cold sores and can I do anything about them?

A. Cold sores are painful blister-like sores that usually form on the outer lip or corner of the mouth. They are caused by the HSV-1 virus which typically remains dormant within the nerve until an outbreak occurs. Cold sores are actually not related to colds or fevers but can be triggered by any illness, fatigue, stress, sun or wind exposure. Cold sores are contagious and can be spread to other people and other parts of your body once the “blisters” appear.

Some people get warning that a cold sore is developing by feeling a “tingle” or Dr. James Sands, DDS “itchiness” at the spot on the lip where the sore will erupt. It is during this moment, before any sore is visible, that immediate preventive medications can be effective. The over-the-counter medicated cream, Abreva, can reduce the healing time slightly by helping to dry the sore. Prescription creams are also available that may reduce healing time, but with mixed results. Once the blisters appear, follow a few simple rules. Do not burst the blisters. Do not apply Vaseline, Carmex or lip balm. Always wash your hands following any contact with the sores. Once the blisters appear, healing usually takes between 7-10 days.

Stephen Rudolph FACHE, CSA

not take “Extra Strength Tylenol (Acetaminophen)” with this medication. Unknowingly, acetaminophen overdose is actually the leading cause for calls to Poison Control Centers across the US-more than 100,000 instances per yearand, each year, is responsible for: • More than 56,000 emergency room visits • 2,600 hospitalizations • An estimated 458 deaths due to acute liver failure According to data from the Acute Liver Failure Study Group registry, acetaminophen poisoning is responsible for nearly HALF of ALL acute liver failure cases in the U.S.!

When used in proper dosage, acetaminophen is an effective and safe medication. Be sure to ask your doctor about ALL your medications before deciding to take any other types of pain medicines, including Acetaminophen.

However, there are instances where its use can become dangerous, especially if used excessively or in amounts higher than the recommended dosage. The more your elder is informed about medications, the better their chances are of maintaining good health and safety.

Q. Is chiropractic beneficial for overall health or just neck and back pain?

A. There are actually many different compression syndromes that can cause pain

Chiropractic addresses the health and integrity of your spinal column which provides for your mobility and also contains your communication system/ nervous system. Without a properly working nervous system, your body cannot adapt to all of the stress and demands placed upon it on a daily basis.

Jill Unwin, An optimum level of health is achieved with chiropractic care by restoring D.C., C.C.E.P function to the nervous system and that is why conditions like asthma, sinus trouble, heartburn and many other health issues respond favorably while under care. Just like working out and eating right, incorporating a chiropractic wellness program into your lifestyle will lead you down the path to better health.

HEATING/COOLING

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Q. My furnace is not working. Is there anything I should do before calling for

service?

A. First be sure that the thermostat is in the heat position and the temperature is set above the indoor temperature. Next, check for power at the furnace by turning the fan switch (on the thermostat) to the on position. If the furnace blower does not turn on, check the circuit breaker for the furnace and the switch at the furnace, to ensure they are on. Also check the air filter to ensure it is clean. If you have LP gas or oil heat, ensure that you have sufficient fuel. Some LP gas furnaces have pressure switches that will not allow the furnace to run if the tank is low on fuel. Even though the water heater sitting right next to the furnace lights and runs, the pressure may be too low to allow the furnace to light. If you have a high efficiency gas furnace with pvc vent pipes, be sure that the piping is clear of obstructions such as snow, birds or rodent nests.

Also look to see if there are any flashing diagnostic lights on your furnace. For all your heating and air conditioning questions, contact Dave at OK Heating and Air Conditioning.

ADVERTISING

Q. How can I use my auto policy to protect my family?

A. I have interviewed hundreds of people injured in auto accidents – and too many family

members who lost loved ones in fatality accidents caused by someone’s careless driving. Sadly, it is often only after an accident that people realize the other driver’s insurance is inadequate – and the family’s own auto policy is also inadequate. Wisconsin Legislators substantially lowered minimum auto coverage. Drivers with bad records now carry only $25,000 (25/50/10).

For a serious accident $25,000 is a fraction of coverage needed for medical bills, lost wages, pain and disability, etc. For a very small price your own auto policy can protect your family.

Attorney Ask your agent to add Uninsured Motorists (UM) and Underinsured Motorists (UIM) coverage.

These are the least expensive coverages you can add to an auto policy. For example you can add John Walsh $100,000/$300,000 UM coverage for about $10. Another $10 buys UIM of $100,000/$300,000.

These are the minimums I recommend. UM and UIM protect those traveling in your auto – your children, spouse, grandparents – from drivers with no – or inadequate – insurance. Consult your agent.

Puppies were a plenty in Fitchburg Sunday at the Puppy Up! Walk.

Local animal enthusiast and veterinary clinic hosted a team of 22 staff members, doctors, clients and their canine companions to participate in the first year at the event held at McKee Farms Park.

The walk was organized by members of the Dane County Veterinary Medical Association to raise funds for comparative cancer research.

Walks like this are being held across the country by the parent organization 2 Million Dogs Foundation, an organization founded by Luke Robinson who walked more than 2,000 miles with his two dogs to raise awareness for cancer research and treatment.

More than 700 people walked on Sunday with

around 200-300 dogs.

Total funds raised were estimated to be $84,000.

The goal of these walks is both to raise money and awareness of the importance of comparative oncology.

Cancer has touched the lives of many people and their pets. Since cancers in cats, dogs, and people often are similar, advances made in cancer treatment in one species are used to enhance the treatment of cancer in another. Both human and canine cancer survivors participated in Sunday’s walk.

2 Million Dogs Foundation has donated funds for the study of breast cancer, bone cancer and bladder cancer to collaborative studies at institutions like Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, MIT, Animal Medical Center of New York, and Sloan Kettering.

NEW YEAR - NEW YOU PA I D A D V E R T I S E M E N T

L

Enjoy Life to the Fullest

ife is short. And the older you get, the shorter it feels, making it important to get the most out of every day of your life.

That’s why the next resolution on our countdown is a popular one: enjoying life to the fullest.

If you don’t want to look back on your life with regrets, you should take steps this year to do something you’ve always dreamed of.

SEE THE WORLD Travel is something many people wish they could do but often put off for a variety of reasons: budgetary, convenience or just indifference. If there is some place you’ve always wanted to visit, you can make that happen in the coming year — or at least start taking steps to get there in the years to come. Unless you’re independently wealthy, paying for overseas travel will usually require saving up over a period of time. To make it happen, you can estimate the total cost of your trip, then break it down into a monthly amount that you will have to save up. The more you can commit to your vacation savings fund each month, or the more frugally you can travel, the faster you’ll be able to take the trip without going into debt.

‘BUCKET LIST’ Another thing you can do is try to tackle items on your “bucket list,” the term popularized in a 2007 comedy movie for things you want to do before you die. Your list doesn’t have to be expensive or extravagant. It might be getting together once with your old highschool buddies, starting your own blog or visiting a certain ballpark. Whatever is on your list, it’s important to make that list in the first place and then plan out how you can cross off as many of those items as possible in the year to come.

Take a Vacation

ith the economy improving and discretionary spending up, the tourism industry is seeing big increases in Americans seeking some muchneeded vacation time.

Making vacation travel more of a priority is a popular New Year’s resolution, especially given the fact that many Americans are working more weekly hours than at any time in our country’s history. Imagine yourself escaping to the white sands of the Caribbean, the beautiful Irish countryside or on an exciting safari adventure in Africa. If you prefer to stay domestic, explore the endless California coastline or New York’s bustling Times Square.

Whatever map location you sink your push pin into, check first with your local travel agencies to get an idea of pricing and package deals. Travel professionals also can give you a heads-up on optimal times to travel to specific locations.

TOP 10 DESTINATIONS According to the Office of Travel & Tourism Industries, international travel is burgeoning. Below are the eight most popular overseas destinations for American travelers from 2013, along with the number of U.S. citizens who traveled there.

• Europe, 11.4 million • Caribbean, 6.5 million • Asia, 4.3 million • Central America, 2.4 million • South America, 1.7 million • Middle East, 1.5 million • Oceania, 570,000 • Africa, 350,000 TRAVEL SAFETY Especially if travel is new to you, there are some important things to remember to ensure your safety. Vacation safety starts at home. Be sure to activate your alarm, keep your shades in their normal location and arrange for someone to pick up your mail. When out and about on vacation, don’t display your jewelry, cameras or other expensive items that may be attractive to thieves.

Also be sure to check and learn maps before you venture out to give you a sense of where you are and where you should avoid traveling.

Save More Money

Lose Weight

nless you’ve never heard of New Year’s resolutions before, the No. 1 item on our list should come as no surprise: getting in shape and losing weight.

Obesity is a growing problem in the United States. For many Americans, it is not only a cosmetic issue but also a threat to their health.

Losing weight can be a challenge requiring lots of dedication because temptations are everywhere.

WEIGHT LOSS CLINICS

If you think a weight-loss clinic could be beneficial, start by looking at the options in your area.

View their websites to get an idea of what each clinic offers and their pricing options. Do you have to purchase special food? Do you have to go to meetings or keep appointments? Find out whether you are going to need to buy prepackaged meals as well as follow a good stringent diet regime.

Make sure these commitments are convenient for your schedule.

Think about other information you may need. Many clinics provide online courses, and some provide face-to-face get-togethers and weigh-ins.

YOUR DOCTOR

Any weight-loss plan you choose should be done in consultation with your doctor.

In fact, your local doctor can bea one-stop shop for weight-loss planning. Many family practice doctors will have recommendations for steps you can take to lose weight, from exercise plans to dietary changes. They may also recommend steps like bariatric surgery, prescription medications or refer you to a dietician. In addition, they can tell if your weight problem may be caused by an underlying health issue that needs to be addressed.

out; since you have already paid for the gym use, it is harder to make up excuses to skip exercising.

Membership also provides you with the opportunity to meet other people with similar exercise goals who can offer motivation and support

M

any people assume that building wealth starts with having a big income. While that makes it easier to build up a financial cushion, there are plenty of examples of people with modest incomes who generate a sizable nest egg thanks to self discipline.

If you want to put your finances in better shape, it starts by looking in the mirror. By paying attention to your money, avoiding debt and making a commitment to save money, you’ll be able to have a more financially prosperous future.

AVOID DEBT

People who study the habits of wealthy people say they share a common trait: they choose to get out of debt and stay out of debt, which helps them build a foundation for their financial future.

If you want to follow their steps, commit this year to reducing your debt load. By paying off your credit cards and avoiding loans, you’ll leave more of your income free to save because it won’t all be tied up in monthly payments.

This is much easier said than done.

But if you commit to it now, you can start researching the steps and methods to reduce the debt burden over time.

FITNESS CENTERS

Gyms are a fantastic way of losing weight, staying fit and having fun for many people. You can find support for your health goals, and fitness experts are usually on hand to help you maximize your workout potential.

Becoming a member of a gym increases your chances of working

MAKE SAVINGS A HABIT

Another trait of good savers is that they make saving money an automatic habit, not something they’ll consider some time in the future.

Following a written budget is a good first step, and your budget should always include some saving — no matter how big or small your income.

Even if it’s just a small amount, regular savings every month will add up to a significant nest egg over time. And the earlier you start, the easier it will be to grow that nest egg as you age.

If you’re not doing it already, consider setting

up an investment account that automatically deducts savings from your bank account every month. It should become something that you don’t even notice because it happens without any thought, and you’ll adjust your household spending as a result.

And if you’re already saving money, think about upping the amount you contribute every year. A small, 1 percent increase in savings each year will barely be noticeable in your budget, but it will add up to a much nicer income in your retirement.

Volunteer More

F

ood pantries, soup kitchens or your local children’s hospital. These are only a few of the local organizations in your area that are actively seeking more volunteer help.

Your New Year’s resolution to become more active in volunteering opportunities could make a world of difference to someone else – even if you can only afford to give a couple of hours per week.

If you’ve been considering becoming a volunteer, what better time than now to begin?

IT’S EASY Organizations know you are busy with your job, family and hobbies.

That’s why most of them make it extremely easy to join their group. You can usually apply online with a few simple clicks. Once you submit your email address and other contact information, you will become part of the group’s mailing list, helping you remain apprised of events,

gatherings and volunteer needs.

IT IS NEEDED Here is a list of five volunteering opportunities you can join today. Research local efforts and reach out to find out how you can help. • Disaster volunteers, providing food, shelter and support to those in need • Blood drive volunteers, supporting local blood drives by registering donors and answering questions • Nurse volunteers, lending their expertise in times of disaster and conflict • Digital Volunteers, helping organizations raise money online and promoting social media accounts • Reading volunteers, interacting with children to provide and promote consistent reading

Here are three waysyou can put your family first in the upcoming year.

MARK THE CALENDAR For many tasks, what doesn’t get scheduled doesn’t get accomplished. If you want to make more time for family, it’s important to put it in writing and © FOTOLIA choose specific dates for big family events. Just like a IT CAN HELP YOU TOO! business meeting or major One of the best aspects school event, you can make of volunteering is that it positively impacts everyone appointments for family time.

Get Organized

he No. 2 item on our countdown is something that nearly everyone can improve: getting organized, whether at the office, at your house or with your entire schedule.

Disorganization is a leading cause of unhappiness and frustration. Within reason, people are meant to live organized, predictable lives, but reality and bad habits often get in the way of organizational bliss. AT WORK Taking control of your office life starts with your own workspace. Unless you have a very “Type A” personality, there’s a good chance your desk and work area have grown more cluttered the longer you’ve held your job. If your desk drawers have started to look like a rats’ nest, it’s time to purge all the old papers and junk that’s keeping it cluttered.

Keeping old, important files in your desk is fine, but they should be organized and easy to find when you need them. Another way to stay organized at work is by

Make Family Time

hile many people think of health and money when it comes to making New Year’s resolutions, the No. 7 item on our list is perhaps the most meaningful: spending time with family.

using a daily “to do” list.

Before you leave the office at the end of the day, make a list of all the things you want to accomplish the next day. Every item you cross off the list will make you feel productive and proud.

AT HOME Everything you own needs to have a specific place to live. That means you have two options for tackling clutter at home: either get rid of the items or get a place for them to be stored.

Clearing out junk from your house should be something you do regularly — at least once or twice a year — unless you want to end up on the “Hoarders” TV show.

If your house is filled with things that you don’t use very often, sell them if they have value and dispose of them if they don’t.

dinner time is becoming less common for many American families, and that’s unfortunate because it’s a great opportunity to make memories and enjoy each other’s company.

Whether it’s eating breakfast together, exercising together, helping with your children’s homework or reading together at the end of the day, you can plan a daily family activity that becomes a part of your regular routine.

Quit Smoking

veryone knows the drawbacks of smoking. It’s bad for your health, can potentially cause cancer and costs a small fortune for people addicted to tobacco products.

Kicking the smoking habit isn’t easy, but it can be done.

Thousands of people quit smoking every year, leading to healthier lives and the sense of accomplishment that can come from self discipline. If you’re thinking about quitting smoking, © FOTOLIA / AP that’s a good first step. Some people are able to quit “cold YOUR HABITS turkey” — simply dropping Getting organized also their cigarettes and never involves the activities you picking them up again — do just as much as the stuff but that’s rare and can be you own. Look at your unnerving. The truth is that daily habits and routines quitting a tobacco addiction to see where you can make is usually very difficult, and your life more efficient there’s not a single method and enjoyable. Many of that works for every smoker. the resolutions in our Different people respond countdown can become in different ways to various reality — or at least made treatments, so it’s important much easier — if you to keep your options open include them as part of your until you find the right fit daily routine, not something that works for you in the special that you do when the long run. time is right.

BE LOCAL TOURISTS Another fun thing to do with your family is visit all the tourist attractions in your area. For many people, even if you’ve lived in your city for a long time, you may not have visited all the parks, museums and activities that outsiders see.

Look at your city through the eyes of a tourist. Your local chamber of commerce will have a listing of events and attractions that are designed for outsiders, but that doesn’t mean the locals can’t enjoy them, too.

MAKE DAILY HABITS Another way to make sure you spend time with family is to make it a part of your daily routine.

One of the best ways is through meals. Family

methods to kick the habit.

Before you sign up for a stop-smoking clinic, find out exactly what services they offer and what their charges will be. You’ll also want to ask about any special medical licenses, counselor training or other credentials the staff has.

Know their prices up front, too, because rates can vary dramatically depending on which clinic you choose and what services are offered.

Also check with your health insurance provider to see if they cover any choices for people who want to quit smoking.

MEDICAL HELP Another place to turn is your local doctor. Doctors all have intense medical training and regular updates to keep up with changing technologies and trends in their field. Any family doctor should be able to give you information to help you stop smoking, which is one of the best ways to improve your overall health.

Prescription treatments are one option that many smokers choose. Nicotine replacement options include lozenges, patches, gum and nose spray. There are also some drugs approved to help people stop smoking,

including Chantix and Zyban. Talk with your doctor to find out which option would work best in your situation.

COMMUNITIES Finally, many people get better results from support groups and stop-smoking communities that help walk them through the process. The path to quitting smoking can be long and winding. Not everyone is successful on their first try, and finding people who are going through the same struggles as yourself can be a powerful motivator to quitting for good. Hospitals, doctors, employers and churches will often have information on various groups in your area that can help you stop smoking.

Some focus on all types of addiction, but the best ones for smokers will focus on tobacco specifically. By looking at all these options — support groups, medical treatments and specialized clinics — you’re sure to find a method that will help you transition to a smoke-free life for good.
