was happy with our pre-season,”
said Heideman. “ I was hoping to
play .500 ball and we ended up much
better.”

district basketball tournament near
ly every year since 1974. The teams

Morrow County. They may be a fire
hazard and they pollute the indoor
air.
Kerosene heaters produce four
noxious gases as combustion by
products—carbon monoxide, carbon
dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur
dioxide. These gases are especially
bad for infants, pregnant women,
elderly, asthmatics and people with
cardiovascular diseases.
To learn more about kerosene
heaters. Extension energy agents
recommend reading the OSU Exten
sion fact sheet that lists precautions
to follow when using this type of
heater. It also tells how to figure if
a portable unvented kerosene heater
is an economical source of heat.
