2 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2015 Fire marshal urges testing of smoke alarms with clock setback come equipped with a hush feature and a 10-year battery. Because of this technology, the national slogan “Change your clock, Change your bat- tery” may not apply to Oregon residents who have these ion- ization-only smoke alarms. Other types of alarms are also being sold with either a 10-year battery or a standard- life battery. “Ensuring you have work- ing smoke alarms in your home is the single most important step you can take to increase your family’s safety from a home fire,” adds Walker. “Also, be sure to replace any smoke alarm that is 10 years old or older.” To test your alarm properly we recommend you: 1) Push the test button to be sure the battery is working. 2) When replacing batter- ies, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the correct battery type to use. 3) Always retest alarms after installing new batteries. 4) Replace any alarm that fails to operate after installing a new battery. 5) Inspect your alarms to determine if they are 10 years old or older, and replace any smoke alarm 10 years old or older. Look for a date on the back of the alarm. If there is no date, your alarm is more than 10 years old and should LIHEAP anticipates release of funds The federal office of Health and Human Services has released funding to the states for this winter’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). LIHEAP helps income- qualified households with their home energy bills in the winter. Beginning Monday, Nov. 2, nonprofit and senior agencies that administer the program throughout Lane County will begin placing households on LIHEAP appointment waiting lists. Interested households may place themselves on a waiting list by calling one of the agen- cies that operate the program. Lane County has not received its LIHEAP alloca- tion yet from the State, but is anticipating a similar LIHEAP funding level as last year. If a household doesn’t get on the LIHEAP waiting list in early November, the house- hold should try again the first working day of the next month during the winter and spring heating season. LIHEAP agencies do re- open their lists at least once each year. To qualify for LIHEAP, a household’s current gross monthly income must be at or below 60 percent of Oregon’s median income level. A household of one person can have a gross monthly income as high as $1,827 and qualify. A household of four people can have a gross monthly income of $3,514 and qualify. The amount of assistance a household receives depends on a number of factors. The program pays the assis- tance directly into a house- hold’s utility account as a one- time payment that can range from $150-$550. Interested households may call one of the agencies listed below to be placed on a wait- ing list. Senior citizens, ages 60 and older, contact Florence Senior Connections at 541-902-9430, ext. 7835. Households that don’t have a senior citizen, and house- holds with a disabled person, contact Siuslaw Outreach Services in Florence at 541- 997-2816.
