Prevent Scalds From Hot Water


Showers that are too hot, steamy food cooking on the stove and even coffee that hasn’t cooled can scald someone in your home. People are scalded when


hot liquid or steam damages one or more layers of their skin. Children and senior citizens are more likely to become scald victims than anyone else.

Here are seven ways to scald injuries


at


1. Turn pan handles toward the back of the stove. 2. Plug small appliances into outlets on the wall next to the countertop where you use them so the cords don’t drape across the room or land on the floor. 3. Install grab bars and non-slip bath mats in tubs and showers so anyone who falls can quickly get up and out of the aim of water that’s too hot. 4. Turn down the water temperature at the water


heater. It only takes five seconds for 140-degree water to scald a healthy adult. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends 120 degrees as the maximum safe residential water temperature. 5. Add anti-scald valve to showerheads and faucets. 6. When you finish your shower, turn the faucet to


the “cold” position so the next person won’t encounter hot water by surprise. For dual-control faucets, turn the cold-water knob on first and off last. 7. Supervise children while you’re cooking and at bath time.


YOUTHPOWER ENERGY CAMP


CONTEST


Two lucky eighth graders from this area will be Harmon Electric’s guests at this electrifying camp


Students who are interested in developing leadership skills and learning about electricity


cooperatives are encouraged to consider entering the YouthPower Energy Camp contest. Two contest winners from the Harmon Electric service


area will be selected to attend the 2014 Youthpower Energy Camp, May 27 - May 30, 2014 at Canyon Camp in Red Rock Canyon, near Hinton. At Energy Camp students learn first-hand the exciting world of rural electric cooperatives through demonstrations by rural electric crews. The group will also tour an electric generating plant. Plus, they will set up and operate their own cooperative business. Among the activities the group will enjoy in the area are volleyball, swimming, nature hikes and cookouts. Selection of the two students will be based on the following guidelines: Students must currently be classified as eighth graders attending a school in Harmon Electric’s service area.
