The New Year means new rules for some businesses in New York and you might be surprised to hear this rule wasn't already in place.

Starting this year, restaurants and commercial buildings will have to install and maintain carbon monoxide detectors. The law was prompted in part by an incident inside a Long Island restaurant last year where one person was killed and dozens more were hospitalized from CO poisoning.

Carbon monoxide leaks are a public safety concern; it's called the silent killer. You're required to have a CO detector in your home, but until now restaurants and bars were not required to have them.

Gates Fire Captain Gary Finlayson says, "It is a deadly gas, odorless and basically non-detectable without a CO detector."

Jines on Park Avenue has been serving up meals for decades and a few years ago owner Pete Gines put in a CO detector. Not because he had to, but because he felt it was the right thing to do.

"It's a safety issue," says Gines. "Anytime there is a safety issue, we want to be able to protect the customers and staff members. Staff members are here for 6, 8, 10 hours a day. They are here for a prolonged period time and the customers are in for an hour, hour and a half."

Captain Finlayson says prolonged exposure to CO can cause headache, dizziness, and -- if exposed long enough -- loss of consciousness and even death. That's why they keep monitors on the trucks. Hundreds die each year from carbon monoxide poisoning. Last year, a manager died of carbon monoxide poisoning and two dozen other people were treated at the hospital following a leak at a seafood restaurant on Long Island. Investigators found a leak in the hot water heater.

"It is very important to be cautious and those establishments should probably have them," says Captain Finlayson. "They are using much larger appliances whether it is heating systems or cooking equipment. They are putting out larger volumes and heating bigger areas. They could have malfunctions."

Gines says they always keep a close eye on the equipment in the restaurant. He is glad the state now requires bars and restaurants to put the safety of the customers and employees first.

BRILLIANT - Those who travel Ohio 7 during their morning commutes may want to break the habit of hitting the snooze button, as they can expect delays from a $1.3 million tree removal project that will last into the spring.

Beginning Monday, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT)?will shut down the highway in both directions intermittently between 9 a.m. and 5 a.m. each day. The work - part of ODOT's $33 million hillside project prompted by a massive rock slide in March 2011 - is expected to last until March 31.

During times when the highway is shut down, motorists also will be unable to enter Ohio 7 north via the entrance ramp at the north end of town.

"Traffic won't be stopped any longer than 15 minutes at any given time," said Adam Lytton, ODOT District 11 project engineer.

The length of time traffic will be allowed to pass in between stoppages will be determined by how long it takes the contractor to prepare each batch of trees for removal, Lytton said. Motorists are urged to use other routes when possible, but those without an alternative should be prepared.

"Plan ahead," Lytton said. "Leave yourself a little bit of extra time if you're going to be traveling through that area."

The tree removal will cover a nearly one mile long stretch of hillside, in preparation for rock removal scheduled to begin later this year with an October 2016 completion date.

So far, much of the hillside work has focused on the area south of Brilliant, near Rush Run, where the worst of the rockslides in 2011 occurred. ODOT chose to begin there because the rockslides north of town are generally easier to control.

The overall project involves moving about 2 million cubic yards of dirt and rock and removal of 46 million gallons of water from an abandoned mine. The water pouring out of that mine was a major reason the hillside often became so unstable, according to ODOT officials.

The project calls for stabilizing the slopes, pavement rehabilitation and construction of a permanent rock catchment area.
