How to prepare for cold weather power outages Cold weather can bring wind, snow and ice. But cold weather also might be the culprit behind power outages.

Sudden power outages can be inconvenient and troublesome.

The potential danger of a power outage only escalates when one happens during the winter. It is relatively easy to recover from a short-term loss of power, but extensive power outages can compromise human health and safety.

Relatively recent storms such as Hurricane Sandy illustrated just how challenging it can be for people to go without power, particularly today, when many people have grown accustomed to having everything available at the flick of a switch.

Heavy, wet snow can weigh down power lines or cause branches to break and damage electric cables. Poor road conditions can make it challenging for power company crews to arrive in affected areas and make repairs, which can lead to prolonged power outages. Men and women must prepare for blackouts at any time of the year, but especially so when the temperatures dip. Here’s how to prepare for an extended power outage.

• Keep your home well-stocked with safety devices.

Purchase flashlights and batteries and keep them in an easily accessible location. Solar-powered rechargeable batteries last longer than more traditional batteries, and if you pair them with LED flashlights, you can extend the usage time and have more light when needed. Store bottled water and nonperishable foods in a pantry or in the garage. Fill gas cans with gasoline and store in a safe location. Many portable generators require gasoline to run, and gas pumps may not work during a blackout.

• Have an alternative heat source at the ready. When the power goes out, so do furnaces, which usually require an electrically powered blower or pump to work. If you have a backup generator, you may be able to plug in a space heater to warm one room in the house. Otherwise, a fireplace can provide some heat. If you do not have power and no other heating source, make arrangements to leave your home and stay with relatives or friends.

• Assess your water needs. Homes that receive water from a municipal water source should be alright in terms of supply during a power outage. Those who have well water and rely on septic systems will probably find themselves without water during an outage. These systems require electricity to pump water into the home.

RE/MAX of Rock Valley would like to welcome Michael Hoff to our team!

He received his Bachelors Degree in Speech from the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse and later his Associates Degree in Nursing (RN ) from Sauk Valley College. He comes to us with over twenty years’ experience in the highly competitive field of pharmaceutical territory sales; where he always took a customer-centric approach. In his spare time he enjoys antiquing, traveling, hunting & fishing.

Please help us welcome Michael…

Store barrels of fresh water to use for washing, cooking and flushing toilets. FEMA recommends storing a three-day supply of water, or roughly three gallons, per individual.

• Keep important papers handy. Make a folder with copies of phone numbers, policy account numbers, banking information, and similarly valuable information.

Remember, during a power outage you may not have computer access, and your mobile phone will only last as long as your next charge. Keep physical documents handy in case you need to leave home or contact service providers.

• Create extra insulation. Use plastic on windows to keep out some of the chill. Wrap pipes with newspapers or insulation to help safeguard against freezing. Block drafts at the bottom of doors by using a door sock or rolled up towel. Keep the entire family in one room to maximize body heat.

• Dress appropriately for the cold. Wear layers to keep warm and pay attention to your extremities, which are most susceptible to frostbite. Watch for signs of hypothermia such as uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion.

• Don’t overlook entertainment. Keep books, puzzles, arts

Judy Powell 815-716-7450

and craft supplies, cards, and board games on hand. Invite friends over to quell the boredom.

• Have an evacuation plan in place. Know where you will go if you cannot stay in your home. Find out if a friend or family member has room for you. Hotels and motels are another option, but they may be booked during an outage.

Power outages can occur at any time but are especially common when snow and ice accumulates. Preparing for such outages in advance is paramount to your health and safety.

Ready your home for holiday guests The holiday season is about more than just rushing to stores to stock up on presents. Socializing and hosting friends and family members to catch up on a year’s worth of news also makes this time of year so special.

Before friends and family arrive, holiday hosts must take steps to prepare their homes for their guests. The following home prep plan can make relatively easy work of tidying up the house and ensuring it is inviting to guests.

Start with the entrance Hosting can motivate homeowners to finish certain home improvement projects that enhance the appearance of their homes. Tidy up your home’s entryway to make it more welcoming. Be sure the front door and walkways are well lit.

Remove obstructions and trim back bushes and other plant life. Festive decorations can brighten up the space. Don’t forget a welcome mat to reinforce to guests that they truly are welcome at your home.

Create a guest sanctuary Overnight guests should have a designated space they can use as a retreat. If you do not have a guest room, consider

having children bunk with one another and designating one of the kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rooms for your guests. Fresh linens, an alarm clock, a television, and Internet access are nice touches.

A guest room also can be set up in a den or office with a pull-out sofa bed. Provide access to a nearby bathroom so guests can enjoy some privacy.

Quick cleaning Sometimes the joy of hosting can be overshadowed by the task of preparing for your guests. Although a thorough cleaning of the home is great if you have the time, it may not be necessary. Go from room to room identifying spaces that are in need of a thorough cleaning. Spend time in the kitchen clearing clutter from the counters and make sure the dining space is clean and the table is presentable. A table runner and a centerpiece of festive flowers can brighten up the space instantly. Fluff cushions on sofas and give floors or carpets a quick vacuuming. Always be sure the bathrooms are clean and fresh, with laundered hand towels at the ready.

Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedrooms and other areas of the house may not require such a critical eye. Simply keep doors closed in offlimits rooms.

“...WHY PRINT WILL NOT ONLY SURVIVE, BUT THRIVE IN THE FUTURE.”

For the second year in a row, and the third time in five years, Sauk Valley Media has won the General Excellence competition among mid-sized newspapers in Illinois. The judges said:

“

All the top finishers in this closely contested division are examples of why print journalism still matters, and why print will not only survive, but thrive in the future. These three newspapers fulfill the most important mission of a community newspaper, which is to focus on the community they are in and put their emphasis on local people and issues. The Telegraph did this a little better than the others. The newspaper devoted its resources to local events and concerns – whether it was covering the complexities of a strike by local teachers, the debate over the need for a helmet law or the efforts to find a man who went missing in a river. The Telegraph's front page consistently contained nothing but well-written local stories, and it made excellent use of sidebars, charts and info boxes to better inform its readers.

“

True to Shaw Media's Brand Promise, the Telegraph and Daily Gazette are committed to advocating for the community in many ways, among them aggressive watchdog journalism, responsible editorial opinion, and responsive local coverage.

Or, as the judges described it, to “focus on the community they are in and put their emphasis on local people and issues.” That's what we do.

Preventing and treating frozen pipes Frozen water pipes and leaks can quickly lead to disaster.

Water damage can result in costly repairs, some of which may not be covered by home insurance policies. Preventing frozen pipes and leaks is essential once the mercury starts to dip.

Water expands when it freezes, and if it expands enough, it can cause pipes to burst. Yet, burst pipes do not usually occur directly where the ice is forming. Rather, the ice increases water pressure buildup elsewhere in the pipe, typically between the faucet or spigot and the ice blockage.

Therefore, adequately protecting the entire length of pipe during cold spells can be necessary.

Any home built in colder climates should have its pipes located on the inside of building insulation.

However, pipes in crawl spaces, attics and basements, as well as those located on outside walls, are vulnerable to freezing. To prevent frozen pipes and bursting, follow these tips.

• Drain water from outdoor hoses and close inside valves supplying water to outdoor faucets.

Keep the external hose bib open to let water drain and to allow for expansion should any water become trapped.

• Open cabinets indoors to allow heat to reach pipes underneath sinks.

• If a pipe bursts, turn off the water from the main shutoff valve.

• Seal leaks that allow cold air inside. Also, look for air leaks around electrical wiring and vents that are in close proximity to pipes.

• Call a plumber if pipe problems are beyond your expertise.

• If you will be away from home, keep the thermostat set to no lower than 55 F (12 C). Have a neighbor check on the house periodically to make sure no pipes are freezing.

• Inspect pipes in areas that are unheated. Insulate any pipes located in these areas.

• Heat tape, pipe sleeves, heat cables, and similar materials can be used to protect exposed water pipes from freezing.

Even newspaper can help insulate pipes.

• Keep garage doors closed when water supply lines are located in the garage.
