American Red Cross 1-800-HELP NOW redcros5.org The Courier-Times, Roxboro, N.C., Wednesday, June 22, 2011 A9 North Carolinians encouraged to let patriotism shine this 4th with sparkling devices safety tips Nation's leading sparklers distributor encourages safe celebrations As North Carolinians plan their patriotic celebrations this summer, experts urge consumers to consider safety this Indepen dence Day. “Sparkling devices and novel ties are integral to any Fourth of July celebration, and Americans enjoy the tradition of lighting them to make the festivities brighter,” says Tommy Glasgow, president of TNT® Fireworks East. TNT Fireworks is the largest distributor of consumer fireworks and sparklers in the United States and has been in the business for more than 50 years. “As North Carolinians light up the night this Independence Day, TNT encourages safety for a safe and sane Fourth of July.” Nationally, fireworks con sumption increased 635 percent between 1976 and 2008 (29.0 million pounds versus 213.2 million pounds respectively), while fire works-related injuries decreased dramatically from 38.3 injuries to 3.3 injuries per 100,000 pounds of fireworks during that same time period, according to the most recent data available from the American Pyrotechnics Association. John Conkling, a nationally renowned fireworks expert and spokesman for the American Pyrotechnics Association, attri butes the steep decline in injuries over the years to the fireworks industry’s consumer safety and education initiatives during the last three decades. Despite the decline in injuries, however, Conkling says consum ers should resolve to use only devices permitted by state law while adhering to safety warn ings and instructions that appear on product packaging. “For decades, sparkling devic es and novelties have enhanced countless celebrations. To con tinue the downward trend in fire- works-related injuries, though, consumers must prioritize safety and have a general understanding of how these devices function,” Conkling says. “Following a few simple guidelines - such as only using sparkling devices and novelties outdoors in clear areas away from buildings and dry grass and always keeping a bucket of water on hand for emergencies - will help people stay safe.” While consumers consider SPARKLING DEVICES AND NOVELTIES SAFETY TIPS Adult Supervision - Never allow children to light or handle them. Stay Alert. Never mix alcohol and sparkling devices and novelties. Take Precautions. Always keep a hose and a bucket of water nearby in case of emergencies. Let Sleeping Sparkling Devices and Novelties Lie. Don't try to relight sparkling devices and novelties that don't ig nite. Wait 15-20 minutes, then douse and soak them with water and throw them away. Happy Birthday Mama June 22,1927-May 12,2011 Mama, you gave me strength, wisdom and love to get through the most impossible times of my life. 1 will miss you so much knowing you are not with me. You were my best friend and a great Mother that taught me so much. If 1 had to do it all over again, I would not hesitate one second.
