A 72-year-old Coushatta woman believes her life was saved last month, thanks to her home security system and the local fire department's quick response.

Juanita Raburn was using an outdoor generator to power her home. The generator was too close to her house and pumped a large amount of deadly carbon monoxide inside her home while she slept. "The generator filled my house with carbon monoxide through the soffit," Raburn said.

Raburn has a home security system installed that detected the fatal fumes and woke her up. Firefighters from the Coushatta Fire Department arrived at the scene and Raburn says she doesn't think she would have survived without their quick work.

Raburn also met Gary Yacks, the ADT dispatcher who helped report the situation to the CFD. "I want to thank him tremendously. They have been wonderful. They saved my life."

Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde on Wednesday vowed to take "revenge" for Tuesday's Naxal ambush in which 15 security personnel and a civilian were killed in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district, saying the attack could be an attempt to disrupt the Lok Sabha polls.

"We will definitely take revenge," he told reporters in Jagdalpur.

The home minister, who is on a day-long visit to Chhattisgarh to review the situation arising out of the killing of 11 CRPF personnel, four Chhattisgarh policemen and one civilian in Sukma district, said the probe into incident will be conducted by the National Investigation Agency.

Asked how the "revenge" will be taken, Shinde said like in the past the central and state forces will jointly conduct anti-Naxal operations and hunt down the Maoists involved in the ambush.

"We know where they are," he said.

The home minister said the incident could be an attempt to disrupt the general election beginning April 7, but said authorities would ensure that the polls will be as successful as the assembly elections held in Chhattisgarh late last year.

"It could be an attempt to threaten the Lok Sabha polls. We will conduct the election as successfully as we have done during the assembly polls. We will provide adequate forces," he said.

Earlier, Shinde and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh paid tribute to the martyrs at Jagdalpur in Bastar district.

Shinde arrived at the Raipur airport and held a brief meeting with Raman Singh and State Home Minister Ramsevak Paikra over the incident and later went to Jagdalpur.

Tributes were paid to the martyrs at the police parade ground in Jagdalpur, the administrative headquarter of Bastar district this morning, senior police officers told Bhasha/PTI in Raipur on Wednesday.

Middletown voters resoundingly approved spending $32.9 million to upgrade roofs and repair heating and cooling systems at township schools, according to unofficial results from the Monmouth County Board of Elections.

Nearly 3,000 of the 4,109 votes cast in the March 11 special election were in favor of the project, which will bring improvements to 15 of the public school district's 17 schools over the next two years.

The referendum came after weeks of public outreach by Middletown Board of Education officials, who sought to take advantage of $19 million in available state grants by beginning work this summer.

The project will bring new roofs to Bayview, Fairview, Leonardo, Lincroft, New Monmouth, River Plaza and Navesink elementary schools, and partially replace the roofs at Middletown Village, Nut Swamp and Ocean Avenue elementary schools. Bayshore Middle Schools roof will also be completely replaced, while the roofs at Thorne and Thompson middle schools and both high schools would be partially replaced.

The work will also include heating and cooling enhancements at all three middle schools and both high schools.

Gold Medal Service, an award-winning heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, and drain service company in New Jersey, advises area homeowners to take advantage of national Fix a Leak Week activities, sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its partner, WaterSense.

This years Fix a Leak Week runs from March 17-23 and the theme is Chasing Leaks. WaterSense and the EPA encourage people nationwide to participate in community runs and other activities to educate themselves about chasing down leaks and how to stop wasting water.

People can save tens of thousands of gallons of water a year by taking care of leaks they may not even know they have in their home, said Mike Agugliaro, Gold Medal Service co-founder. Its good for the environment to save water, and its also good for the local economy and your own pocketbook.

Checking plumbing and irrigation systems and correcting any leaks can save homeowners as much as 10,000 gallons of water per year, roughly the capacity of a backyard swimming pool, or the amount needed to wash 270 loads of laundry.

WaterSense encourages homeowners to follow a three-step process:

The safest thing to do if New Jersey homeowners detect a leak in their home is to call the plumbing experts at Gold Medal Services to repair or replace any faulty pipes or other parts.

Our technicians are experts at detecting and repairing any leaks that spring up, said Agugliaro, so its essential that homeowners in our service areas get a full check to prevent any burst pipes or other plumbing disasters.

About Gold Medal Service Gold Medal Service, rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau, was founded in New Jersey in 1994 with just two employees. Their vision was to provide homeowners with a reliable and trustworthy home service company customers could count on to fix just about anything that could go wrong in a home. Since then Gold Medal has grown to include more than 120 employees and technicians solving plumbing, heating, cooling, electric, drain, and sewer issues for homeowners across the state of New Jersey.

Home care services allow familiarity for elderly

The home is a place where countless memories are made with family and friends, but as a person gets older, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain that beloved property. Well-Being Total Home Care, located at 42 Main St., Suite 9 in Leominster, helps to ensure that the elderly and others in need get the services necessary to be able to stay in their homes for as long as possible. ffi Owner Keith Lanzilotti believes that Well-Being Total Home Care is part of a growing trend of accommodating the elderly and special needs individuals in their own homes by offering companionship, handyman services, and renovating their homes to meet their specific requirements. ffi Today there is so much exposure to it because as the population ages and remains healthy seniors are living active lives. Their children are now caring for their parents and want to help them remain happy and that often means staying in their own homes, he said. ffi Besides the added benefit of being more cost effective than moving into an assisted living facility, Lanzilotti said that there are additional benefits for people that need particular consideration. ffi For people with Alzheimers Disease, its more important to maintain a comfortable, familiar environment, he said. ffi Staff members of Well-Being Total Home Care provide lawn mowing and snow shoveling services, as well as installation of wheelchair ramps and grab-bars. ffi The professional caregivers of the company go into a persons home and assist them with any task needed around the house, from cleaning and paying bills to changing light bulbs and reminding clients to take their medication. ffi Lanzilotti takes great strides to hire the best people for the job. ffi We hire licensed caregivers that have strong backgrounds with seniors, disabled people and caring for people with Alzheimers disease. By doing that we will strengthen the trust and relationships with area businesses that also work with seniors and disabled, he said. ffi Lanzilotti had the idea for the company in 2011 after his father passed away and he had to witness first hand the pressure that loss put on his mother. ffi My mom was and still is very self-sufficient but needed some help doing the things my dad did for them, said Lanzilotti. ffi He was already beginning to lose interest in his job at high tech company, so he approached his cousin, Rick DiPaoli, a contractor for 30 years about starting a home care agency of their own. After a great deal of research and planning, Well-Being Total Home Care opened in April of 2012. ffi After nearly two years in business, Lanzilotti and DiPaoli hope to be able to continue to grow with the community. ffi The need for these services is growing and we want to be there for the community, Lanzilotti said.
