Carbon Monoxide

Posted by Don r. Johnson on under Parenting News Feeds | Be the First to Comment

Carbon Monoxide

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas. It cannot be seen, smelled or tasted, and can be fatal when high levels are breathed. Symptoms of carbon monoxide are similar to those of the flu and allergies. Carbon monoxide poisoning may also be misdiagnosed as migraine headache, stroke, food poisoning or heart disease. Over 500 people in the United States die from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning each year. CO poisoning more seriously affects infants, people with lung or heart disease, or people with anemia. The following information will help you better understand the ways you can protect your family from dangers associated with carbon monoxide.

Where does carbon monoxide poisoning come from?

* Fuel-burning machinery used indoors such as generators without proper ventilation.
* Car exhaust fumes entering the house from the garage.
* Combustion equipment such as furnaces or water heaters when not working properly or that have a blocked exhaust system.

What can you do?

Carbon monoxide poisoning is preventable. The following tips and pointers can help keep your family safe:

* Never run your car in a closed garage.
* Make sure fuel burning appliances are installed by a professional and that they are working properly.
* Choose vented appliances when possible.
* Never use a gas range or oven to heat your home.
* Have your heating system and chimneys inspected each year.
* During winter months check frequently that vents, flues and chimneys are not blocked by snow or ice.
* Replace dirty air filters on heating and cooling systems.
* Never run a generator, power washer, or any diesel or gasoline-powered engine inside a basement, garage or other enclosed structure.
* Keep your home well ventilated – Install ventilation for indoor combustion appliances and consider installing air exchanges or air conditioning if your home is tightly sealed.
* Never use a charcoal grill, hibachi, or camping lantern or portable stove inside your home, tent or camper.
* Install carbon monoxide detectors near bedrooms.
* Talk to your doctor or local health department if you suspect that you, or a family member, might be suffering from carbon monoxide fumes.
* Call your local building or code enforcement agency if you have concerns about the combustion appliances in your home.

The School Bus Has Feet!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Don r. Johnson on August 25, 2010 under Parenting News Feeds | Be the First to Comment

Lincoln Park in Washington, DC’s Capitol Hill neighborhood comes alive every morning—children swing on the playground equipment, dogs chase balls, bicyclists take shortcuts to get to work, and cars, trucks and buses snake around the park’s four corners on their morning commute. There’s just enough chaos to make an elementary school student want a hand to hold and a friend to walk with.

That’s the idea of the Walking School Bus—there’s safety in numbers.

Every week at Maury Elementary School, families gather in the surrounding neighborhood to walk to school together. This morning the crowd was especially large—more than 100 students on foot, bikes and scooters joined their parents, grandparents and younger siblings in strollers for the stroll to campus. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan joined in with D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, Chancellor Michelle Rhee, and Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez of the U.S. Department of Transportation, which manages the federal Safe Routes to School program to encourage more of the nation’s students to walk or bike to school.

The group that had clustered in Lincoln Park quickly spread out as those on wheels sped to the front. Walking in the middle of the pack with Chancellor Rhee, Mayor Fenty yelled ahead to Arne, who, at 6 ft. 5 in., has an unusually long stride.

“Secretary, you’ve got to slow down with those long legs, man,” the mayor said. “You’re leaving us little-legged people behind.”

For Niah Gamble, 5, and her classmates at Maury, Tuesday was the second day of school. In her hair Niah had tied ribbons in the school’s colors—blue and white—which also matched her brand-new uniform. On her feet were sparkly purple shoes, complementing a pink backpack that seemed unusually stuffed for a kindergartener.

She held the hand of her grandmother, Ellen Williams. Even before her granddaughter enrolled, Ms. Williams was volunteering her time at Maury. “What I do for her, I do for all,” she said. After the first day of classes, when Niah’s grandmother asked her to draw a picture of what she had liked best about school, she drew her teacher, Mamie Vick.

Ms. Vick greeted Niah and her 18 other students on the playground as they lined up to go inside. “We had a great day yesterday,” she said. “I think everybody went home happy.”

Ms. Vick is going back to school herself, attending a weekend program at a local university to get her master’s degree in education. Even with 22 years of experience, she’s still seeking to improve her teaching.

Maury Elementary’s spirit of family and community involvement wasn’t lost on Secretary Duncan. “If every school had this kind of camaraderie, this kind of energy, we’d be a much better education system,” he said during a news conference on the playground.

Walking to school is not only a way to be safe, Arne said; it’s a way to get exercise. “It may be a little bit old school, but I think it’s absolutely what our children need,” he said.

The school year is off to a smooth start, Chancellor Rhee reported. That hasn’t always been the case. There was a time not long ago, Arne said, when “DC had a school system that the city could not be proud of.” Now, he said, its public schools are on the right track.

“DC is fast becoming a model for the country, and I could not be prouder” of the district’s progress, he said. (Update @ 12:15 PM: Later today the Department further acknowledged the District of Columbia’s progress by awarding it up to $75 million from the Race to the Top program to pursue a bold education reform plan. DC and 9 states all won Round 2 grants in this unprecedented competition.)

Child care assistance is available to eligible families through State agencies that administer Federal Child Care and Development grants. Each State determines eligibility requirements for families within its State. A list of State agencies can be found on the National Child Care Information and Technical Assistance Center web site at http://nccic.acf.hhs.gov/Statedata/dirs/display.cfm?title=ccdf. Contact the agency in your State directly for your eligibility information and how to apply for assistance. In some States, families can apply by telephone or mail. In many communities there also are child care resource and referral agencies that can provide information about how to apply for child care assistance. A list of child care resource and referral agencies is available from Child Care Aware. Visit their web site at or call 1-800-424-2246 to locate an agency near you.

Families are able to select from a variety of authorized providers, including those sponsored by faith-based organizations that may engage in religious activities as part of the daily services they provide.
