TIPS TO PREVENT WINTER
HOUSEHOLD HEATING FIRES
(NewsUSA) - Don’t let the quest
to keep warm this winter turn into
a fire-safety hazard. With wintery
weather and chilly temperatures
come increased risks within the
home. Follow these precautions
now so your heated home and
family can secure warm feelings
of safety while keeping winter
chills out.
* Use heating equipment
properly. In 2008, heating
equipment was responsible for an
estimated 66,100 reported U.S.
home structure fires. These fires
caused $1.1 billion in property
damage. According to the U.S.
Fire Administration, many of these
fires were a result of improper
use of heating equipment. Follow
all safety instructions provided by
the manufacturer.
* Avoid clutter around space
MONDAY, February 7, 2011 • TRI COUNTY NEWS SHOPPER 5
heaters. What may at times may
seem like a harmless heating
device, space heaters can quickly
become a mountain of potential
risk as home clutter accumulates
around and on top of them. Take
time to make sure all clutter is clear
of any heaters in the house. Keep
heaters at least three feet away
from paper, bedding, furniture
and other potentially flammable
household items.
* Use heating equipment that has
the label of a recognized testing
laboratory. If you don’t recognize
the testing laboratory, have a
qualified technician check to see
that the unit has been properly
installed.
* Look for new safer heater
models. Supplemental zone
heaters, like those from Sunheat
(www.sunheat.com), are ideal
for homes that put safety first.
Sunheat heaters have been tested
and proven unable to start a fire
while effectively using infrared
heat to warm 800 to 1,000 square
feet. They produce no harmful
emissions and are safe around
children and pets.
* Install gas-fueled heating
devices with proper attention to
ventilation. If unvented gas space
heaters are used in bedrooms or
bathrooms, make sure they are
small and well-mounted. National
Fire Prevention Association codes
prohibit use of liquefied petroleum
gas heaters with self-contained
fuel supplies.
* Inspect solid-fueled heating
sources. Have all wood and coal
stoves, fireplaces, chimneys,
chimney connectors and all other
solid-fueled heating equipment
inspected annually by a technician.
Have them cleaned as often as a
technician proposes.
* Test safety-alert devices. Test
smoke detectors monthly and
install and maintain a carbon
monoxide alarm in a central
location outside each sleeping
area.
COMPANIES SEEK HAPPY
EMPLOYEES
(NewsUSA) - Today’s economy
isn’t just frustrating for those
without jobs -; limited budgets
can do a number on employed
workers’ morale as well.
Exemplary employees might not
be awarded with raises, no matter
how much effort they put into
their projects. Employers unable
to afford larger salaries may see
their best employees looking
elsewhere.
But some companies are finding
way to keep employees happy
by cultivating employee-friendly
office cultures. For example, in the
fall of 2010, Washington, D.C.’s
Office of the Chief Technology
Officer implemented a Results
Only Work Policy (ROWE), which
pays employees for results, not
the hours that they work. This
means that employees are able
to work when or wherever they
want, so long as their work gets
done. In places where it has been
tried, ROWE not only boosts
morale and retention, but also
improves output.
Of course, not every company
is willing to redo its entire work
structure. That doesn’t mean that
they can’t find less drastic ways
to boost morale. Here are some
of the many ways that companies
can make the workplace more
attractive for employees:
* Acknowledge employees’
contributions. Employees who
work hard without recognition
are likely to lose morale. Even if
a company can’t provide raises,
managers can give out certificates
or plaques acknowledging an
employee’s accomplishments
or designating an employee of
the month. Plaquemaker Plus,
a company that offers many
personalized trophies, plaques and
frames, offers laser-engraved and
full-color plaques that can be used
to give hard-working employees a
boost. Visit their website at www.
PlaquemakerPlus.com or call
1-800-367-5556.
* Celebrate birthdays. affects them. So, be honest and
Acknowledging employees’ clear about any foreseeable
personal lives will make them feel changes. For instance: Dining out
like valuable team members, rather less. Not going to movies. More
than replaceable automatons.
* Communicate. Unhappy
employees are less productive,
so managers should take time to
speak with them about questions
or concerns. An anonymous
employee survey can also help
employers determine where they
need improvement.
TALKING CENTS WITH YOUR
FAMILY
(NewsUSA) - As the dismal
economy shrinks the job force,
parents across the country are
faced with the intimidating task
of explaining financial troubles to
their children.
The economic meltdown has
raised the unemployment pool
in the United States to more
than 7.2 million, according to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
As these numbers continue to
increase, more parents will have
to explain fewer nights out, smaller
allowances and other cuts to the
family budget to their children.
While the initial discussion can
be frightening, experts say that
avoiding these conversations with
your children is a mistake.
“Keeping kids in the dark about
something so serious as a job
layoff is a huge mistake. Hearing
such an immensely personal
family problem from anyone other
than you could well break down
the trust between you and your
child,” says Dr. Michele Borba,
child expert and member of Boys
& Girls Clubs of America’s Family
PLUS Advisory Committee, a
comprehensive family support
strategy sponsored by Kimberly-
Clark Corporation.
So, how can parents start a
conversation about a recent
layoff?
Borba, who also authored “The
Big Book of Parenting Solutions,”
offers a few tips to help parents and
kids discuss financial problems:
* Prepare what you want to say.
Doing so will help you feel more
comfortable and less tense, which
will make your news sound less
scary to your kids.
* Describe the potential impact
on your family. Most kids’ prime
concern is how this personally
bag lunches. Less allowance.
* Explain your plan for new
employment. Kids don’t need a
lengthy discussion, so just briefly
explain that you’re seeking a new
job and that it may take awhile.
Knowing that you have a “plan”
(even if you have no idea what to
do) helps kids feel secure.
* Involve your kids so they feel
they are part of the solution.
Ask them for ideas to help your
family reduce costs. For instance,
mention that turning off the lights
will conserve energy. Then ask
them for other suggestions.
* Keep the discussion going. A

one-time talk won’t be enough
for your children to absorb what
is happening, so let them know
that they can ask questions at
anytime.

DO GREEN PRODUCTS WORK? ARE
THEY COST-EFFECTIVE?
(NewsUSA) - Today’s consumers
appreciate businesses with a
sense of social responsibility, but
being a good global citizen while
maintaining a positive customer
environment and keeping costs
down can be a challenge. Some
businesses are rising to the
challenge by starting recycling
programs and installing energy-
efficient light bulbs, but think
that further initiatives will be too
complicated to implement. A green
cleaning program, can, however,
meet any business’ criteria for
performance and cost.

matter that it is earth-friendly
or affordable. Companies can
go to their distributors, who will
usually provide sample products.
Companies can then test the
products in as many scenarios
as possible. Tests should take
weather into consideration. For
example, businesses located in
regions that experience heavy
rain or snow all winter may not
choose the best product if they
test in dry, summery conditions.
Most product lines include highly
effective products as well as
others that don’t work as well.
Since it’s pragmatic to order all
products from a single brand,
businesses should match their
most important cleaning needs to
the best products in the line. For
example, a jewelry retailer must
have crystal-clear display cases
to showcase their products, so
priority should be given to a
line with a highly effective glass
cleaner.
Green
Evaluating the green claims
of cleaning products can also
be difficult. Several national
95
649 95
4 Miles West of Greenville
organizations certify products
as green, however each uses
different criteria and specifications,
based on proprietary definitions
and internal reviews. One
designation, DfE (Design for the
Environment), is approved by
the US Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). DfE-certified
products must meet rigorous
standards for biodegradability
and toxicity, health hazards,
storage and shipping limitations,
flammability, etc.
Companies also need to consider
how products are packaged.
Pre-measured packaging, for
example, can contribute to a
green initiative, as it creates less
waste. Shipping and storage
savings can be significant also.
Products manufactured by Pak-
It, LLC, a subsidiary of JBI, Inc
(OTC-QX: JBII - News), come in
water-soluble packets. Because
they’re just packets of cleaning
concentrate and aren’t mixed with
water, there is less weight to ship
and space-saving storage.
Cost-Effective
The cost of cleaning products
Two Recliners for only
$
459
Two Recliners for only
$
69995
should be evaluated on a total
cost of ownership basis since
so many factors contribute to
the overall goal of a clean retail
environment. Businesses can
make an estimate by choosing
one location and determining
how much money it would cost
to keep it clean for one year with
each product in consideration,
including storage costs, labor and
supplies.
One size does not fit all when it
comes to cleaning, especially
for multi-location retailers.
Consideration should be given
to seasonal changes in cleaning
needs as well as those based
on general geographic location.
National multi-location retailers
can generalize by classifying
stores in zones and considering
the unique needs of each zone to
ensure that the cleaning program
is effective. By calculating the
cost on an annual basis, any
seasonal impacts will be taken
into consideration.
