Sprinkler System Cleanup BALLOUVILLE CT 06233 Pros - Video
JOHNS ISLAND, SC (WCSC) -
90% of the time it only takes one sprinkler to save your home from going up in flames. The St. John's Fire District is spreading that message of safety.
St. John's Fire Marshall James Ghi says a sprinkler system is like having a firefighter in your home.
Saving a life could come down to a matter of seconds.
Over the weekend, the firefighters conducted a demonstration showing how quickly a room could burn without a sprinkler system. Both rooms had the same furniture but only one was equipped with a sprinkler.
"The smoke detector will sound at the smallest amount of smoke," said Ghi.
Flames appeared within 10 seconds.
Ghi said, "The sprinkler heads are activated by head."
Ghi says a sprinkler system helps to control a fire.
"Not only does it allow time to get out of a home, it also limits property damage," said Ghi.

Although community network studies show that sexual relationships occur between members of "risk groups" -- men who have sex with other men (MSM), people who inject drugs (PWID), non-injection drug users (NIDU) -- and heterosexuals, researchers at New York University's Center for Drug Use and HIV Research (CDUHR) note that little research has been done to help explain how HIV epidemics and programs in one population affect others and how to reduce the risks of transmission.
A recent study conducted by researchers from CDUHR, led by Samuel R. Friedman, Director of both CDUHR's Interdisciplinary Theoretical Synthesis Core, and the Institute for Infectious Disease Research at NDRI, sheds light on the pathways connecting HIV epidemics in different populations.
It shows that programs for people who use drugs -- like syringe exchange, HIV counseling and testing, and drug abuse treatment -- are associated with subsequent lower rates of AIDS incidence and death among heterosexuals.
"Since existing theory and research have relatively little to say about the cross-population processes being studied, we used exploratory analytic technique to study these relationships," explains Dr. Friedman.
The objective of the study, "Do metropolitan HIV epidemic histories and programs for people who inject drugs and men who have sex with men predict AIDS incidence and mortality among heterosexuals?" was to better understand how epidemics among MSMs and PWIDs correlate with later epidemics and mortality within heterosexuals; how prevention programs targeting specific groups affect future epidemics among other populations; and whether the size of MSM and PWID populations are associated with the later epidemics and mortalities among heterosexuals. The study was published in the Annals of Epidemiology.
The study looked at data from 96 large US metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) from 1992 -- 2008. "We have only limited ability to study the mechanisms by which our independent variables come to be associated with outcomes," explains Dr. Friedman. "Research into whether interventions in one key population affect HIV epidemics in other key populations is of high policy relevance and should be a priority."
Although the study highlights the necessity of future studies, it found that HIV counseling and testing in PWIDs was associated with lower AIDS incidence in heterosexuals, while counseling and testing in MSMs were not; and that availability of syringe exchange programs and drug abuse treatment programs were associated with lower AIDS death rates among heterosexuals.
The study also highlights a link between racial/ethnic residential segregation and rates of AIDS incidence and mortality among heterosexuals and points to evidence pairing social causations like income inequality with mortality.
"Our findings are descriptive of the relationships of the measured variables in these large metropolitan areas," said Dr. Friedman. "They do not, however, imply that these findings can necessarily be extended to smaller MSAs, non-metropolitan localities, other time periods or other countries, for that further research is clearly needed."

Menomonie school board mulls over hockey locker room By Pamela Powers Menomonie News Bureau Leader-Telegram
MENOMONIE Menomonie school board members tended to support a dedicated high school hockey locker room at a planned addition to the Menomonie Youth Hockey Association ice hockey arena but worried about funding it.
The cost of the locker room would be about $75,000, which could be paid over 10 years or in a lump sum.

Menomonie school board mulls over hockey locker room
Developers have submitted plans for a five-story, 200-room hotel with two floors of underground parking to replace a parking lot between the Oxbow Public Market and the existing Copia building.
Developer Keith Rogal is working with the Copia Liquidation Trust and bondholder ACA Financial Guaranty Corp. to redevelop the former Copia site at 500 First St., which previously operated as a cultural center for wine, food and the arts.
Copia declared bankruptcy in 2008 amid falling attendance and debt totaling $78 million and has mostly been shuttered since then. The goal is to bring life to the site, said Rogal, and to focus on the unique attributes of the Oxbow area and bring them to a wider audience, including visitors and guests.
In addition to the hotel, a 7,200-square-foot subterranean-type addition would be built using the space currently occupied by Copias amphitheater. Three small buildings would be constructed along First Street offering room for retail, food service, restrooms and a cafe.
The details were presented in a design review and use permit application submitted on Feb. 11 to the city Planning Department. Rogal has also asked the city for a planned development zoning amendment of the area.
Rick Tooker, city community development director, said his team is reviewing Rogals application. At 60 feet, the height of the proposed hotel would meet the maximum height allowances that can be approved for that area, he said.
Even though Rogal has asked for the maximum height, maximums arent automatically granted, Tooker said. There are many issues that need to be considered, such as context, impact on adjacent buildings, views and aesthetics.
These will all be reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council at future meetings, he said.
The Copia site south of First, including the parking lot, is not part of this application.
Rogals application is a revised reuse plan for the former Copia site. Incorporating earlier public criticism about a need for meeting space, Rogals plan now includes assembly areas in both the main Copia building and the hotel.
