Some people have noted that I
sometimes do not write the
Cranbrook News. I always remind
them that the news is only as good as
the newsmakers. If you to not let me
know ytiiir news then there will be
no column.
This week Peggie Keifer
and Yvonne Knight wish to
thank the following people for
collecting for the Cancer Society
in this area: Pat Gillis. Marian
Harrison, Eleanor Stevenson,
Stewart Steiss, Tracey Swart,
Sharon Evans. Jenny Gorier. Terry
Rice, Ann Cooper and Arlene
Laming. The total collected was
1,459.40. Thanks to the many who
gave. •
When I wrote two weeks ago of
the community spirit in Cranbrook,
without which we could not have run
such a successful euchre party
season for the Community Hail, I
forgot to include the following
couples. Marian. and Harvey Smith
and Lloyd and Beryl Smith in the list
of those we wanted to thank for their
efforts. I apologize for that oversight
and Sharon E \ ans and 1 thank them
now. .
was announced that my
millennium (Wins will visit
Cranbrook again on May 19. _The
same arrangements as last year will
be made again. If you want to look at
them through the window of the
store building it costs 25 cents.
Holding them when they are
peaceful and cute and nice will cost
$1. However, they are screaming and
acting up anyone can hold them for
free!
Saturday morning from 9 a.m.
'Mite 12 -p.m. On June 16,, is the date
for •the cleaning day at the
Cranbrook Hall. Volunteers are
asked_ to come and help Sharon
Evans and myself do the various
jobs that need to be done every year.
It is easy. We have a list of jobs to,be
done and you can choose one when
you arrive. It's usually a fun
morning. •
The hummingbirds are back and
frequenting the feeders that have
been hung out by many of us in the

By Fire Chief Don Warden
Pres., Can. Assoc. of Fire Chiefs
For many Canadians, springtime
brings a return to leisurely get-aways
at the cottage. But getting the place
ready for another season requires a
fair amount of work. The most
important item on your "to-do" list
should be a safety check of your
property.
Cottages may be further from
emergency services, including fire
departments, than your home is —
so it's important to prevent accidents.,
from happening.
Be sure to check safety equipment
such as smoke alarms and fire
extinguishers. Replace the batteries
in your smoke alarms at the
beginning of the season, and check
the pLessure on the fire
extinguishers. Clean smoke alarms
of dust that may have accumulated
over the winter, and if you think
your smoke alarms are more than
nine years old, they should be
replaced entirely.
Cottage life raises several safety
concerns:
- Be extra cautious when using
citronella candles, barbecues.
campfires. and
when burning leaves or smoking
outdoors around dry grass.
- In addition to each level of the
cottage. consider installing smoke
alarms
in boathouses and garages.
- Store gasoline and old paint cans
carefully.
Cottage owners should also be
aware of the dangers of carbon
monoxide poisoning — a deadly
poisonous, odourless gas produced
as a by-product of burning fuels such
as natural gas, propane. heating oil.
charcoal, gasoline or wood.
Cottage appliances — such as oil or
propane furnaces, generators,
clothes dryers and lawnmowers —
may prodUce carbon monoxide if
they are not functioning properly,
and have not been maintained
regularly by qualified technicians.
Be sure to have your appliances
inspected annually for cracks,
corrosion, or leaks and have your
chimney cleaned regularly to clear
blockages.
Of course, many Canadian
families take their "cottages" on the
road with them — in mobile homes
and 'camper trailers. Most of these
units power their appliances by
propane... and like natural gas
appliances, these devices can create
a potential danger of carbon
monoxide if they aren't burning fuel
properly, or aren't properly vented.
A carbon monoxide detector should
be installed in every mobile home or
trailer.
Several companies manufacture
combination smoke and carbon
monoxide alarms that, for the
relatively low cost, will provide
years of additional peace-of-mind
for you and your family.
Make your summer a safe and
happy one for your family, by taking
a few extra moments now to ensure
that your safety k looked after for
the coming season
