FROM BARB RAINVILLE, Emergency Management Coordinator 

As the summer changes to fall and leads us into winter there are several things you can do to be prepared for what’s coming. Make your appointment now to change over to winter tires. Change the batteries in your smoke detectors and your carbon monoxide detectors. If you don’t have a smoke or CO detector get one, they are inexpensive and could save a life. Get your chimney inspected/cleaned and your furnace cleaned and replace any air filters. Test your furnace to be sure it comes on and works appropriately. If you have a generator, check the fuel and oil. Test start it outside and make any repairs. Finally, review your family’s safety plan so everyone knows what to do in case of an emergency.

SAVE THE DATE

The next senior meal will be held on Thursday, Oct. 19, at Burnham Hall. Music begins at 11:30 a.m., and lunch will be served at noon. Cost of the meal is by donation.

Until next time … The Quieter You Become, The More You Can Hear. Love One Another. Just Smile.
