Panora was again one of the PassPork Lunch stops and it did not disappoint with it’s Bacon Jalapenos Popper Sliders. “We served roughly 3,500,” said P.J’s owner Joe Weisz of the grilled sliders. “We saw probably 4,000 bikers and they stayed and partied until about 2:30 -- the live band was good.” Glass House Prophet provided rocking classics all day, bringing Halterman brings broad experience to LPA several cyclists front and center to dance -- in-between stops at the Bourbon and Whiskey Bacon Bar. P.J.’s also featured an adult lemonade vodka stand with bacon infused drinks and fresh squeezed spiked lemonades were stationed in the beer garden. “I’d say our most popular this morning has been the Moscow mules,” said Chris Piper, who worked under the tent in his first BACooN Ride experience. “This is really fun.” Bikers were also delighted by fresh fruit smoothies and Bacon pralines ice cream sundaes at P.J.’s. An adult lemonade vodka stand featuring bacon infused drinks and fresh squeezed spiked lemondaes was stationed in the beer garden with cold tall boys waiting for bikers right off the Raccoon River Valley Trail at P.J.’s Drive-In.

Over 100 individuals showed up to participate last year and several more stood at the finish line to cheer on their friends and family. In an attempt to continue the fun and grow the event, Albers is again planning the 5K run/walk - this year on Sunday, July 3 at 5:30 p.m. “I’m looking forward to our second annual 3 on the 3rd and really hope it’s just as successful as last year,” Albers said. “I”m looking forward to handing out more medals this year.” Entry cost is $25, which includes a race day T-shirt.

She had been clear up until her three year check up, when her doctor found a lump in her right breast. “He [Patrick] was just getting used to the idea that I would be ok, when it happened again,” she said.

The fest got started last year because Guthrie Center did not have a community festival. The desire for the town to have a community festival coincided with the upcoming date at the time, May 1, 2015, or 5/01/15 — the zip code of Guthrie Center. “We decided that [since] Guthrie County didn’t have a community festival, we could build a festival around that,” said Main Street Guthrie Center Executive Director Julie Bailey. The dates did not line up to reflect the 50115 zip code again, so the date for the 2016 fest was moved to June 24 to stand a better chance of having warm sunny weather. The lineup for the day starts with a new addition to this year’s festivities: the Eulenspiegel Puppet Theatre Company. They will be at the Mary J. Barnett Library from noon to 1:30 p.m. to host a puppet making workshop, along with Mexican Children Song and Games afterward from 2:00 to 2:30. “They’re absolutely wonderful,” said Bailey of the puppet company. “They are the utmost professionals at what they do. They build all their puppets and create their own stories. It’s going to be a great addition to the festival this year.” Conducting Mediation for Civil & Family Matters (including custody, visitation and support) LAURIE STEWART Stewart Law & Mediation, PLLC 311 E.

Also new to the fest is an antique tractor display held on S. 4th Street between State Street and Prairie Street, and a bags tournament. Returning from last year is the human foosball tournament. For a $30 entry fee, teams of six will get to compete against each other. All of the money collected through the entrance fee will be given back to the winners of the tournament. “Obviously as a Main Street community, we want to give things back, and that’s one way in the festival that we can,” Bailey said. “We have the money in the budget to cover the cost of the festival. We would rather give that entry fee back to get people to come and participate.” Many local businesses will have vendor booths, including Art On State and Dowd Drugs. In total, there will be 20 vendors open for the fest, in addition to the local restaurants that will be open. From 7:00 p.m. until midnight there will be a street dance on a blocked off portion of N. 4th Street. Admission is $5, and once inside, participants old enough to drink can enjoy a beer garden while listening to the musical stylings of the Jay Clyde Band and Elegant Gypsy. The Jay Clyde Band will perform a mix of country, southern rock, rock and 80s 90s music. Elegant Gypsy will lean more towards a combination of soul, jazz, and rock. “It’s a good opportunity to get together with your friends and neighbors and have a good time,” Bailey said. “It’s a great celebration. Each community should have a festival. We’re hoping that this continues to grow each year, and that people will continue to support it.” 3184 248th Trail, Panora, IA 50216 Business Furniture Solutions Your premium choice for desks, chairs and cubicles Kathy Miller, 641-757-2102, [email protected] P.O.

Many weeks you could find Vern and Marjorie at the local farmer’s market selling their garden produce along with Marjorie’s baked goods and bouquets of flowers. After retirement Vern and Marjorie took up dancing at jam sessions every Saturday evening for many years. For their 50th anniversary they celebrated with a dance to the surprise and delight of their daughters, family, and friends. They also enjoyed traveling in their retirement years with trips to Alaska, the Northeast to see the fall colors and the National Parks of the West with their daughter, Linda. Several times they traveled to Branson, Mo, besides trips to see their daughters and families.

Whole Grain Goodness Whole grain options are endless…multi-grain, whole wheat, 100% wheat, bran, or 7-grain. Current recommendation are to make at least half the grain products in your diet whole grains. Whole grains promote heart health, aid in good digestion, and may help you maintain a healthy weight. With all the labeling deception, how do you know if you are choosing a whole grain product? When choosing a grain product, read the ingredient list. The first ingredient should be whole wheat, whole wheat flour, whole grain, stone ground whole grain, brown rice, oats/ oatmeal, quinoa, bulgar, graham flour, or wheatberries. Another good rule of thumb is to look for the 100% whole grain or whole wheat stamp on the package.

Bate Law C Inter W 6 wa 5 C to h f page 8A | | THURsday | 06.23.16 CHEF FROM Page 1A Liz teaches second grade at Panorama. His father Bill, who is an LPN golfing member, is an electrician and owns his own business. Labath, who turns 30 years old in July, says he’s spent half of his life cooking for others. He started cooking as a 14-year-old in the kitchen at PJ’s in Panora, where he worked until he graduated from high school. He moved to Cedar Rapids and entered the Kirkwood Community College culinary program, graduating in 2009. While in school, he gained experience working in a steakhouse, a Marriott hotel, and in the Cedar Rapids Kernels baseball stadium kitchen. After graduation, he moved to North Carolina to work in a small restaurant in a renovated house. Next up was four years in a full-service restaurant. He also catered some events on his own, including a few weddings. Two more jobs allowed Labath to gain additional experience. He worked for Earth Fare, a chain of health food stores, where he says he learned a lot about fresh foods, traveled and helped open new stores. He also worked in 2014 at The Masters for a company that prepared and served food on the grounds, as well as to people flying in and out on private jets. Labath moved back to Iowa a year ago to work as the head chef at The Port on Lake Panorama’s main basin. Moving with him was his girlfriend, Taylor Marcellino. The pair met in North Carolina, although she’s a California native. Once back in Iowa, Labath proposed and the couple’s wedding is June 25 at The Port. W hen t he LPN executive chef position opened, Labath says he decided to apply because he Andrew saw it as a way Labath to advance in his culinary career. “Working at The Port was great, but it was more seasonal. At the LPN, I’ll have a chance to push myself a little harder because it’s busier. There is a good group of people working here to help me get better at every aspect of my job,” he says. Labath says he’s lucky to be joining a kitchen that already has two experienced employees. Richard Holbrook has been working in The Links kitchen for nine years, and TJ Gliem has been there two years. “They stepped up to fill in the gap before I was hired, and I really respect them for that,” he says. “I’m lucky to have them here, and I look forward to working with them.” Labath also is impressed with the upgrades done in the LPN kitchen this spring. “The kitchen is fantastic. It’s spacious, and offers a lot of prep area that is well organized. That helps us get the food out faster, and keeps the food as fresh as it can be,” he says. Some tweaks to The Links menu will come, Labath says, but for now his focus is on what patrons like on the current menu, and what else they’d like to see there. “I love talking to people and getting feedback,” he says. “I know the flatbread pizzas are popular, as are the tenderloins and burgers. I’m not going to mess with what’s working.” Labath says he likes to try new things, and plans to offer a daily sandwich or other dish as a special item that isn’t currently on the menu. Customer comments will help him decide which items should return as future daily specials, or perhaps be added to the regular menu. He’s also offering a fresh soup daily. He enjoys making pastas such as ravioli, and creating his own salad dressings and sauces. He especially enjoys creating desserts, and hopes to eventually offer a tray of desserts for patrons to consider after their meal. His specialty is crème brulee, which is a rich custard base topped with a contrasting layer of hard caramel. Labath says he has created about 30 versions. Another favorite of Labath’s is cooking with fresh fish. He looks forward to offering some fresh fish specials on Friday and Saturday nights, once the busy banquet season is behind him. He’d also like to offer cooking classes to small groups in the fall and winter months, and dinners that pair food with wine or specialty cocktails. Next summer, he’d like to serve Lake Panorama boaters by grilling at Boulder Beach or Spikes. Labath took the LPN executive chef position with full knowledge of how busy the kitchen is during summer months, when wedding receptions and golf tournaments fill the weekly calendar. At the same time, he’s responsible for daily business in The Links and Spikes. “Right now, my focus is on providing good, consistent food served in a timely manner,” he says. “If you’re going to have a big group of people, I encourage you to make a reservation. We’re always happy to see big groups, but things do run more smoothly if we know you’re coming.” As he settled into his new job, Labath welcomes comments and suggestions. “I have a lot of my own ideas about what we can do here. But when I’m presented with a new idea by someone else, that’s when I really strive to see if we can make it happen,” he says. Welcoming New Patients! PROVIDERS: Eric Ash, M.D. Tonia Erickson, ARNP Amy Harland, PA-C HALTERMAN FROM Page 1A sponsibilities include communications, managing the LPA farmland, overseeing the LPA-managed Rural Improvement Zone (RIZ) conservation projects, and other miscellaneous duties. Although Guthrie County is home to Halterman, he spent many years studying and working in other parts of Iowa. He earned a four-year bachelor’s degree in mass communications from Grandview College in Des Moines. As he was wrapping that up, he decided to add a second bachelor’s degree in conservation and wildlife management. He did that by attending Upper Iowa University in Fayette for one year. It was during that year he met his future wife Brenda, who grew up in Stuart. Over Christmas break, he had seven weeks off from school. His parents were living in Des Moines at that time, so he went to the Walmart there to apply for a job. Brenda was the personnel manager who hired him to work during the Christmas rush. When he returned to Fayette, he learned the lumberyard he had been working at part-time had closed, so he called to ask if he could continue working weekends. Brenda agreed so he drove back and forth between Fayette and Des Moines each week that spring. The couple married July 15, 1995. Immediately after graduating from Upper Iowa, Halterman was hired by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to work at Lake Rathbun. Yet he wanted to work in county conservation. So after nine months he took at job in the Des Moines County Conservation office, and he and Brenda moved to Burlington. The couple wanted to be closer to home, so when a job was advertised in the Greene County Conservation office, Halterman interviewed and was hired. That moved them to Jefferson for two years. Halterman says his goal was always to be a county conservation director, so when the Jones County director position opened, he was hired, and the couple moved to Anamosa. They were there for six years before the opportunity to come back home. By then they had two kids, and wanted to be closer to family. So when the position of natural resources manager in the Guthrie County Conservation office opened, Halterman applied and was hired. For the past 13 years, the family has lived at the Nation’s Bridge GOLF FROM Page 3A 319 E. Main St. • (641) 755-2121 A DIFFICULT DECISION MADE EASIER When Dwayne’s wife suddenly passed away last year, he found himself in an all too common position of what to do next! Dwayne lived with his daughter and her family for some time and then after some health complications, spent a few months in rehabilitation. When the time came to be discharged, Dwayne and his family had to make a decision. He was still very much independent, however, realized that he could no longer manage to live completely alone, but did not want to burden his children either. His family heard about The Lakeside Village from relatives, toured the community and determined this was the perfect fit for Dwayne. Does Dwayne’s story sound similar to yours or someone you know? The Lakeside Village, a 64-apartment Independent, Assisted Living and Memory Care Retirement Community is located right on beautiful Lake Panorama, just north of Panora, Iowa. Whether you just need a little extra help, like Dwayne, or are living with dementia and need Memory Care, The Lakeside Village can promote your independence and privacy with its many options of retirement living. It’s perfect for a single person or married couples, especially those requiring different levels of care. Our friendly and caring staff is here to make life easier and a lot more exciting! There are many apartment styles and floor plans available to meet your preferences. There is no buy-in, no monthly maintenance fees or lease agreements; just month to month rentals. Most retirement communities categorize and charge residents according to levels of care. The Lakeside Village customizes this approach to meet each resident’s personal and health needs through Individual Service Plans (ISPs). This document is used to determine which Activities of Daily Living a resident needs assistance and calculates charges based on the total minutes of assistance needed by the resident. Activities of Daily Living include assistance with bathing, mobility or medication management, just to name a few. The benefit of an ISP is that each resident pays only for what they need and nothing that they don’t. If you or anyone you know is interested in learning more about The Lakeside Village or would like to schedule a tour of the community, please call Angie Holloway at 641-755-3443 or 641-757-9800. services using innovative tools not found in most therapy centers.

Here they are shown with Bryce and Brooke at the Iowa state girls track competition at Drake University, where Brooke represented Panorama Community Schools in the 4x200 relay. county park between Panora and Stuart. “That meant I was involved in a lot of things. I was the park ranger, naturalist and educator,” Halterman says. “Guthrie County Conservation owns 1,100 acres of parks, wildlife areas, campgrounds and river accesses and I was responsible for all of that, as well as the county roadside program.” Halterman says he didn’t know it at the time, but his previous jobs, especially the last two, were preparing him to work for the LPA. “I gained a lot of experience with budgets, rules and regulations, safety, natural resources and working with the public. All of that has made it possible for me to transition nicely to this new opportunity,” he says. Halterman says the new job has allowed him and Brenda to do something they’ve long wanted to do — buy their own home. “We lived at Nation’s Bridge for 13 years, and prior to that we lived in the Jones County park residence. Living in a park is a great place to raise kids, but the downside is you’re always at work, even when you aren’t,” he says. The family now lives in Panora. Brenda works at West Des Moines Dental as a dental assistant and office manager. Bryce will be a senior and Brooke a sophomore when they return to classes at Panorama this fall. Growing up in Guthrie County, Halterman is no stranger to Lake Panorama. He says he had friends who lived at the lake. “I always liked the community aspect, and when I saw the job announcement, I thought it would be a nice fit for me and my family,” he says. “I spent 22 years in the conservation field, and was happy with my job with Guthrie County Conservation.

Other more traditional therapy methods and tools also are used at Timber Creek. In addition to these therapies, therapeutic riding is available. While most of the patients who receive treatment have some expenses covered by insurance, Timber Creek Charities helps those who don’t have adequate insurance. It also helps those who can’t afford equine assisted psychotherapy and therapeutic services that are not covered by insurance.

The weekly Prompt and quarterly Panorama Post that Randy established are very important. I look forward to continuing to provide these and other communications pieces that will keep LPA members informed.” He’s also looking forward to managing LPA farmland, and coordinating with government agencies and RIZ on two wetlands projects that will help keep silt and nutrients out of the lake. He’ll also take the lead on other projects that come along, and be charged with “developing new ideas to enhance what Lake Panorama already has, or take old ideas and make them new,” he says. Halterman says while he was familiar with Lake Panorama, he faces a big learning curve. “The nice thing is besides learning about my direct responsibilities, I’ve been spending a couple of days each week with different departments. I got to go onto the dredge and learn how it works, and I helped haul logs out of the lake. I’ve worked with the water department installing meters, and learned about the operation of the dam and water plant. I’ve mowed and I’m spending time with security and lake patrol,” he says. “Coming from the outside, I knew a lot goes on at Lake Panorama, but I really didn’t have a clue about how much gets done every day,” Halterman says. “The amount of work that is accomplished by the LPA staff is absolutely amazing. I look forward to working with each of the departments and office staff to help keep Lake Panorama a premiere location for LPA members.” SOBER FROM Page 3A •Buckle up.

Traditionally, the 4th of July weekend is the busiest period on Iowa waters. Boating, paddling, fishing and swimming are even more popular with what are often the warmest temperatures of the year. Before you set out, though, help make sure everybody stays safe. “We urge boaters…including passengers…to remain alert to activity around them,” advises Susan Stocker, boating law administrator for the Department of Natural Resources. “Don’t overload your craft. The U.S. Coast Guard, along with manufacturers, determines the capacity of each boat and it is visible on virtually all boats.” Operators can brush up on rules and regulations, by taking the DNR boating safety course. Iowa law requires any person 12-17 years old, who will operate a motorboat over ten horsepower or a personal watercraft, to successfully complete the education program. It is available online at http:// www.iowadnr.gov/Things-toDo/Boating/Boater-Education Stocker reminds everyone on board that they need a properly fitted lifejacket. Safety officials also urge you to wear it. “It is similar to seat belts on the road. You won’t have time to grab it and put it on, when facing an emergency situation,” she said. Other lake or river enthusiasts—from paddlers and anglers to swimmers—can avoid problems, too, by wearing a lifejacket, especially during heavy periods of boat traffic. “With the variety of activities out there, a life jacket provides added safety while you are enjoying yourself,” said Stocker. The effects of sun, waves and wind over a day on the water are tiring; especially if alcohol is involved. “Alcohol has a dehydration effect. It can impede judgment,” warns Stocker. “A sober designated boat operator is vital on board.” In Iowa, there are more than 235,000 registered boats. Many of them will be out over the coming weekends. With everyone aware, everyone stays safe on the water. Boating Tips Don’t drink and operate a boat Take a boating safety course Always wear a lifejacket – it can’t work if it’s not on Have a throwable floatation device on board Review boating laws Remember, youth under age 13 are required to wear a lifejacket while the boat is underway Have patience and be courteous on the ramp and water Get a weather forecast before heading out Keep watch for other boaters, swimmers, skiers, debris or other obstacles in the water Have a fully charged, usable fire extinguisher Maintain your boat trailer [lights, wheel bearings, tires] Have a working horn or whistle Prepare your boat in the rigging lane prior to launching Don’t operate in a careless or reckless manner Don’t violate buoys, as they are the road signs of the water Iowa DNR: 30 years, 30 natural resource successes DES MOINES July 1 marks the 30th anniversary of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, established by the State Legislature when several state agencies consolidated in 1986. To help commemorate the 30th anniversary, the DNR is highlighting 30 success stories for Iowa’s natural resources during the last three decades. The DNR oversees compliance with water, land and air quality regulations, as well as wildlife, fisheries, forests and state parks. “We spend a lot of time working on, and talking about, how Iowa’s natural resources need to improve, and we will continue that hard work,” said DNR director Chuck Gipp. “Now is the perfect time to also reflect on some amazing accomplishments that have truly improved RELAY FROM Page 1A saying speakers were needed. “I guess you could say I offfered my services,” Nolte-Pinkert said. She plans to incorporate humor and positivity into her speech as she talks about her experience with the disease . “Sometimes when you hear a story like mine, where someone has gone through it three times, and 20 years later from the first time they were diagnosed, they are still here, it gives hope,” NoltePinkert said. “It’s not a death sentence, always.” This year’s event will have a shortened schedule in an attempt to draw out more participation. In years past, it ran from noon until midnight. But this time around, it will only last from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. “This year we’re hoping to get it a little better attended,” said Caroline Kness, a member of the Survivor Committee for Relay for Life. “It should be a great turnout.” Twenty teams are participating in raising funds for the American Cancer Society this year. So far, through fundraising and donations, $30,600 have been raised, according to Durst, as compared to $67,000 in 2015. Dancers from the Adair Dance Academy and Main Street Dance Studio in Panora will kick off the afternoon, followed by opening ceremonies and the presentation of the 20 teams registered. Both cancer survivors and caregivers will be celebrated with a ceremony at 6:00 p.m. Anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer is encouraged to participate in a walk around the track as onlookers cheer for them in a “demonstration of support and celebration,” according to a press release. There will be a variety of auctions this year, including a silent auction, pie auction and live auction. Quilts, gift baskets and handmade needle point pictures are among the items available in the silent auction. For the pie auction, community members were asked to make and donate pies to be sold. All of the proceeds from the sales will go towards the American Cancer Society.

Top three males and females in each age division receive a medal. Registrations are due by Wednesday, June 29th. Late entries will be allowed that day, however T-shirts will not be guaranteed. “I ordered 200 race bibs and I would love it if all of them were used,” Albers said, noting she might be optimistic since the entire town of Yale is just 250 people. “It would be great to see our streets and bike trail filled with runners and walkers.” Following the race at 6:00 p.m. there will be live music by The Pale Moons, featuring local tal- ent Chad Elliott and Anna Kopaska, and wine available by Soldier Creek Winery of Fort Dodge. Food will be provided and available for purchase by Deardorff Highland Cattle. “It’s so nice to have great local resources that are so willing to help support our small town,” Albers added. The Guthrie County Fair Queen will also be crowned at 8:00 that night at the park. The traditional Independence Day activities will continue on Monday in Yale with the parade, a co-ed softball tournament, horseshoes and a kid’s pedal pull to name just a few. Fireworks at dusk are always a highlight for those in Yale as well as those from surrounding towns who come to watch the sky light up in bright colors.

ASHLEY SCHABLE | VEDETTE BACOON FROM Page 1A Chris Piper mixes up a couple bacon infused drinks and fresh squeezed spiked lemonades for riders in Saturday’s BACoon ride while working at P.J.’s Drive-In in Panora. Piper said the spiked lemonades and moscow mules were a big seller early in the day. Panora chamber members sell homemade cookies and bottled water during Saturday’s BACoon ride. “These are delicious,” said Carrie Oliver, who was riding for a second year, from Fenton, Iowa. The Panora Chamber sold fresh baked goods from the community while promoting the town’s annual Panorama Days event in August. “We had a lot of cookies, but we did run out,” said Chaille Crandall, while reporting on the event at Monday’s Panora Chamber Meeting. The Chamber, who sold two cookies in a bag for $1, raised nearly $300. Campers from the St. Thomas Moore Center offered ice cold water and gatorades just off the trail. One biker asked if he could jump in the kiddie pool of ice used to cool the drinks as temperatures sizzled above 90 degrees. Special jerseys and even costumes were featured by the riders, who talked about the “maple bacon donuts” and “bacon corndogs” along the ride. Several locals were among the BACooN riders, including Panorama Superintendent Shawn Holloway and his daughter Abbi. “I am definitely not eating bacon for awhile,” Abbi said. Live music by Glass House Prophet rocked classics all day in Panora during the BACoon ride. The PassPork Lunch stop in Panora was at PJ’s Drive-In located just off the Raccoon River Valley Trail.

Almost 30 percent of Iowa electricity now comes from wind energy, a number that was basically nonexistent in the mid-1980s.

Transporting natural gas through pipelines is a safe and reliable means of delivery to customers. MidAmerican Energy Company regularly tests our pipeline system to ensure the safety and reliability of our facilities. Gas Detectors Gas detectors are available for residential and commercial use to alert the presence of a potentially hazardous natural gas leak. The device sounds an alarm to warn persons in the area that a leak is occurring, providing the opportunity to evacuate. From a safe location call MidAmerican Energy at 800-595-5325 to report the leak. This is a free call. Using Your Senses Natural gas pipelines are designed to provide safe and reliable natural gas service. However, at times a pipeline may leak. MidAmerican Energy adds an odorant to its natural gas so the general public can detect the leak. The odorant is called mercaptan and smells like rotting eggs or an unpleasant skunk smell. Even if you only detect a slight odor of natural gas, take action and leave your home or area immediately. DO NOT rely on your sense of smell alone to detect the presence of natural gas. For some persons sense of smell alone may not be enough to forewarn the presence of natural gas. Some people cannot detect the odorant because they have a diminished sense of smell, or have smelled the same odor for a long time. Sometimes the odor is masked by other smells in the area. Also, if a natural gas leak occurs underground the surrounding soil can cause the odor to fade so you will not be able to rely on your sense of smell to detect the leak. Knowing how to recognize and respond to a possible gas leak is an important part of natural gas safety. Trust and use all of your senses. While we work diligently to monitor and maintain our delivery system, we rely on you to follow all natural gas safety rules and report any suspicion of leaks. Because of the importance of natural gas to our economy and everyday life, we all have a stake in the safety of the natural gas pipelines. You may recognize a natural gas pipeline leak by: Sight • Discolored or abnormally dry soil or vegetation • Continuous bubbling in wet or flooded areas • Blowing dirt • Dead or discolored plants in an otherwise healthy area of vegetation • Frozen ground in warm weather Sound • Quiet hissing to a loud roaring sound If you observe any of these signs: • Extinguish smoking materials and other small flames • Do not attempt to extinguish a burning gas leak • Turn off and abandon equipment; do not attempt to move any machinery • Eliminate other sources of ignition (e.g., a nearby car with the engine running, cellphones) • Leave the immediate area • From a safe distance, call MidAmerican Energy at 800-595-5325 and/or call 911. (MidAmerican Energy will investigate the gas leak at no charge to the caller.) Do not re-enter the area until you have been advised that it’s safe. Potential hazards of natural gas: Fire or Explosion • Extremely flammable – easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames • Will form explosive mixtures with air • Vapor may travel to ignition source and flashback Health • Leaking natural gas is a health hazard; it can cause loss of coordination, dizziness and headache Prevention measures: • Regular inspections and maintenance of your gas appliances • Keep the area around gas appliances and gas piping free from obstructions and combustible materials • Provide access to the meter and equipment when necessary • Never store flammable liquids in your home or near fuel-burning appliances • Have gas appliance connectors checked for defects by a qualified plumbing and heating dealer • Always place approved end caps on pipes after removing gas dryers or similar appliances. Relying on a valve alone to stop the flow of natural gas on open ended pipe is not compliant with codes. CALL BEFORE YOU DIG! To make sure you follow the law and don’t strike underground natural gas and electrical lines, dial One Call at 811 at least two business days before digging.
