from Fort Campbell, Ky.
The soldier is serving a
15-month tour in support of
Operation Iraqi Freedom.
With more than 53 patrol
bases within their area of
operation, the task force has
made significant strides in
enhancing security in the
region. Since the arrival of the
task force more than a year
ago, violence in the region
has been reduced by more
than 75 percent.
The decrease in violence
has allowed the task force to
focus on rebuilding efforts,
including local governance
and economic development,
along with medical treatment
missions, providing fresh
drinking water and working
with local security forces and
volunteers to provide a broad
blanket of stability to the

June is home safety month:
Is your family prepared?
By Michele Melton
For the Forsyth County News
The Home Safety Council
dedicates the month of June —
Home Safety Month — to edu¬
cate and empower both families
and businesses to take actions
that will make homes safe.
Throughout Home Safety
Month, the Home Safety
Council encourages the public
to consider their home’s danger
areas and take some simple
steps to minimize their risk
from potential injuries, or even
death.
Check out some of the tips
below to protect your family
from the five leading causes of
home injury — falls, poison¬
ings, fires and burns,
choking/suffocation and drown
mg.
Prevent falls
• Have grab bars in the tub
and shower.
• Have bright fights over
stairs and steps and on land¬
ings.
• Have handrails on both
sides of the stairs and steps.
• Use a ladder for climbing
instead of a stool or furniture.
• Use baby gates at the top
and bottom of the stairs, if
babies or toddlers live in or
visit your home.
Prevent poisonings
• Lock poisons, cleaners,
medications and all dangerous
items in a place where children
can’t reach them.
• Keep all cleaners in their
original containers. Do not mix
them together.
• Use medications carefully.

someone takes poison. This
number will connect you to
emergency help in your area.
Prevent fires and bums
• Have working smoke
alarms and hold fire drills. If
you build a new home, install
fire sprinklers.
• Stay by the stove when
cooking, especially when you
are frying food.
• Keep space heaters at least
three feet away from anything
that can burn. Turn them off
when you leave the room or go
to sleep.
• If you smoke, smoke out¬
side. Use deep ashtrays and put
water in them before you empty
them. Lock matches and
lighters in a place where chil¬
dren can’t reach them.
• Only light candles when
an adult is in the room. Blow
the candle out if you leave the
room or go to sleep.
Prevent choking and
suffocation
• Things that can fit through
a toilet paper tube can cause a
young child to choke. Keep
coins latex balloons and hard

round foods, such as peanuts
and hard candy out of chil¬
dren’s reach.
• Place children to bed on
their backs. Don’t put pillows,
comforters or toys in the crib.
• Clip the loops in window
cords and place them up high
where children can’t get them.
• Read the labels on all
toys, especially if they have
small parts. Be sure that your
child is old enough to play with
them.
• Tell children to sit down
when they eat and to take small
bites.
Be smart around water
• Stay within an arm’s
length of children in and
around water. This includes
bathtubs, toilets, pools and spas
— even buckets of water.
• Put a fence all the way
around your pool or spa.
• Empty large buckets and
wading pools after using them.
Keep them upside down
when not in use.
• Make sure your children
always swim with a grownup.
No child or adult should swim
alone.
• Keep your hot water at or
below 120 degrees F to prevent
bums.
