DJ Scottie Mac Slayed With The Music, Bianca Giacalone Once Again Proved Why She Is An Absolute Powerhouse Rising Star In The Downtown Gloucester Business Community. This Girl Is Going Places- She Should be On Your Radar.

Gloucester High School Junior, Michael Francis III, was honored by the Orange Rose Foundation for raising over $4,000 for the foundation by running the Maple Leaf Marathon and obtaining donations for his efforts.    

Michael set a goal to raise funds for the foundation that his aunt, uncle, and their family developed in 2021; and he decided that training for and running a marathon would be an ideal way for him to help.  The Orange Rose Foundation is a 501(c) 3 charity focusing on supporting organizations that assist victims of domestic violence and working towards encouraging awareness.  

Michael is an outstanding student, athlete, and member of the community.  The Orange Rose Foundation recently presented Michael with the Outstanding Citizen Award.  The foundation thanks him for his support and all the great work he does in the community.  They wish him luck in his senior year at Gloucester High School and continued success in all his future endeavors.

• Never leave your grill unattended while cooking.
• Patios, terraces, screened-in porches and courtyards are leading home locations for grill fires. Grills should always be placed well away from the home, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.
• At the very least, grills should be kept at least three feet from siding, deck rails and eaves.
• Have a 3-foot safe zone around grills and campfires. Keep kids and pets away from the area.
• Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill. This will help prevent grease fires.
• Check the fire danger rating in your area to determine if weather, or other factors, make it dangerous to light a fire.
• Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be used outdoors.

Charcoal Grills

• If you use a starter fluid, use only charcoal starter fluid. Never add charcoal fluid or any other flammable liquids to the fire.
• Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and away from heat sources.
• There are also electric charcoal starters, which do not use fire. Be sure to use an extension cord for outdoor use.
• When you are finished grilling, let the coals completely cool before disposing of them in a metal container.

Propane Grills

• Check the gas tank hose for leaks before using it for the first time each year. To check for a leak, apply a light soap and water solution to the hose. If there’s a propane leak the bubbles will be released.
• If your grill has a gas leak, by smell or the soapy bubble test, and there is no flame, turn off both the gas tank and the grill. If the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again. If the leak does not stop, call the fire department.
• If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department.
• If the flame goes out, turn the grill and gas off and wait at least five minutes before re-lighting it.
