Thanksgiving Safety
City of New Haven and FEMA Partners in Preparedness
Honorable Toni H. Harp, Mayor
According to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), cooking is the main cause of home fire. Also, the peak day for home cooking fires is Thanksgiving.
Cook Safely for Thanksgiving
Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, boiling, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen, turn off the burner.
Watch what you are cooking. Fires start when the heat is too high. If you see any smoke or the grease starts to boil, turn the burner off.
If you simmer, bake, or roast food, check it regularly and use a timer to remind you.
Keep anything that can catch fire (oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packages, towels, and curtains) away from your stovetop.
Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove. Then, no one can bump them or pull them over.
Keep a pan lid or baking sheet nearby. Use it to cover the pan if it catches fire. This will put the fire out.
In the event of an oven fire, turn off the oven and keep the door closed until it is cool.
Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot, and kids should stay three feet away.
Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button.
Five Dangers of Deep Frying a Turkey
Turkey fryers can easily tip over spilling hot oil across a large area.
An overfilled cooking pot will cause oil to spill over when the turkey is placed inside.
A partially frozen turkey will cause hot oil to splatter.
Turkey fryers can easily overheat and start a fire.
The pot, lid and handles of a turkey fryer can get dangerously hot and cause burn injuries.

Daniel Hunt keep up the great work..
On September 7, a three-man team consisting of the Mammut athlete Stephan Siegrist along with Thomas Huber and Julian Zanker embarked on an adventure in the Kashmir Himalayas. On September 13, they reached the base camp. Ideal weather conditions allowed no opportunity for a break and by September 18, they had set up the Advanced Base Camp (ABC) at 5,050 meters. After several trips to transport equipment and completing their preparations, the team set out to climb the face on October 1. They had to revise their initial plan of completing the ascent in five days. For tactical reasons, they abandoned their first attempt and made their way back to the base camp. Buoyed up with renewed strength and resolve, they took up the adventure once again on October 8. The weather was stable, with clear skies in the mornings, clouds forming by midday and snow falling in the afternoons. The team had to battle with icy cracks, spindrift and extremely cold temperatures falling as low as -20 °C. Not forgetting difficult technical climbing at up to A3+. On the summit day, October 14, their efforts were rewarded with sunshine. When asked how the idea had come about, Steph Siegrist answered:
“During our ascent in 2011, we planned an ice line on the north-west side of Cerro Kishtwar and climbed it in two days in alpine style. This climb also gave us a great view over the endless rocky expanse of the direct north-west face. It was an image that I couldn’t get out of my head over the following years.” He continued: “The face significantly exceeded my expectations in terms of difficulty. Falling snow in the afternoons and the cold made the seven days of climbing really tough. As expected, we had hardly any objective risks on the large and partly overhanging 1,000 meter face. A face at this altitude with such homogeneous difficulties really is quite exceptional. The summit day was the only time we enjoyed good weather. Our efforts were rewarded with sunshine and barely any wind. After so many days in cold conditions and with falling snow, this was a real gift and we made the most of it. Arriving on the summit with two good friends, after all those hard days, felt amazing and the experience touched us all deeply.”
The three athletes named the newly opened route on the north-west face of Cerro Kishtwar “Har- Har Mahadev”, an expression from Hindu mythology meaning “Raise moral values to overcome fear and conquer dangerous situations”!
In 1992, the British climbers Andy Perkins and Brendan Murphy attempted to scale this face. After 17 days, they were forced to abandon their attempt due to exhaustion at 100 meters below the summit. A year later, another team of British climbers, Mick Fowler and Steve Sustad, climbed the left section of the face over an ice ramp into a wind gap at around 5,600 meters, before switching to the rather flatter east side of the mountain to become the first people to reach the summit. After this, for years, access to Kashmir’s mountains was blocked to foreign climbers for military and political reasons. The ban was lifted at the start of 2010 and Stephan Siegrist, Denis Burdet and David Lama were the first expedition in this mountain region in 2011. Their aim was to scale Cerro Kishtwar in alpine style. They climbed their way over an ice track on the north-west side, right beside the imposing granite face, and became the second team to reach the summit. In 2015, Hayden Kennedy, Marco Prezelj, Manu Pellisier and Urban Novak climbed the east face of the granite tower in alpine style, receiving the Piolet d`Or for their efforts.
Interview with Stephan Siegrist
You have become something of a specialist in Kashmir! Why do you keep coming back to this mountain region?
From my very first visit to the Kashmir region in 2011, I was overwhelmed by the impressive mountain scenery, the many unscaled and aesthetically beautiful peaks and great unclimbed lines. But what fascinated me even more was the fact that you can still count on the purity of the culture there and you meet hardly any other western tourists or mountaineers.
You have already scaled Cerro Kishtwar once! Why climb it a second time?
During our ascent in 2011, we planned an ice line on the north-west side of Cerro Kishtwar and climbed it in two days in alpine style. This climb also gave us a great view over the endless rocky expanse of the direct north-west face. It was an image that I couldn’t get out of my head over the following years.
It was your idea and your plan. How and why did you team up with Julian Zanker and Thomas Huber?
I had known Thomas for many years from different expeditions. He is a good friend and an excellent climber. He is unbelievably positive and we always have fun together. Which is key factor in success! I was delighted when Thomas decided to come along. Julian is a young, strong all-round alpinist from Interlaken. He is one of the few young climbers who doesn't take himself too seriously. Someone with an unbelievably great character. He is helpful and understanding.... towards the older generation (-:
I had also met Julian before on a previous expedition. And our days of training together meant that I was sure he would be a good fit with us two alpha dogs.
Were there any problems in the preparatory stage?
Other than the visa, there were hardly any issues. Thanks to contacts with Delhi, we managed to get the visas just a few hours before the flight...
Were there any health problems during the expedition?
Thomas was attacked by fleas during the approach. These cursed creatures just loved Thomas’ tender skin. The stings became inflamed and accompanied him for the first three weeks.
After our initial attempt, I suffered from painful tendonitis on the back of my hand. It was badly swollen for a long time. It still hasn't quite recovered.
We all had frozen fingers during the ascent. Julian and Thomas suffered pretty badly and it will no doubt bother them both for a while longer.
How was it on the face? Did it meet your expectations?
And some! The face significantly exceeded my expectations in terms of difficulty. Falling snow in the afternoons and the cold made the seven days of climbing really tough. As expected, we had hardly any objective risks on the large and partly overhanging 1,000 meter face.
A face at this altitude face with such homogeneous difficulties really is quite exceptional.
How did it feel when you stood on the summit?
The summit day was the only time we enjoyed good weather. Our efforts were rewarded with sunshine and barely any wind. After so many days in cold conditions and with falling snow, this was a real gift and we made the most of it.
Arriving on the summit with two good friends, after all those hard days, felt amazing and the experience touched us all deeply.
What will you take with you from this time?
It was a project that succeeded thanks only to good friends, lots of understanding and support, motivation, fun and great team spirit. The driving force was undoubtedly Thomas. I can't recall any other expedition where we worked so continuously over a period of five weeks, apart from two rest days, in committed pursuit of a goal. The frozen fingers, a particular problem for Julian and Thomas, will hopefully soon be forgotten. But we have lots of great memories. Another Kashmir adventure with locals who are already friends.
Brief facts
The team secured parts of the first section of the face and set up camp 1 on the “snowledge” at the foot of the granite wall at 5,450 meters. On their first attempt they reached the 7th pitch after three days. They embarked on their second attempt immediately after this, on October 8. Seven days later, they reached the summit. The team spent a total of ten days on the face. They set up four camps: camp 1 “Snowledge”, camp 2 “Happyledge”, camp 3 “Sunnyledge”, camp 4 “Kempinski”.

NEW HAVEN— The Connecticut Hispanic Bar Association will honor Angel Fernández-Chavero, New Haven’s Acting Interim Director for the Commission on Equal Opportunities, with its 2017 Achievement Award.
The award will be formally presented at the association’s 24th Annual Awards Celebration later this month.
Fernández-Chavero’s history of community advocacy includes working with St. Rose of Lima’s Church to lead the fight against racial profiling. For that work, he and his pastor were jointly awarded the Graciela Olivarez “La Raza Award” for “courage and vision in defense of human rights for the immigrant community of New Haven” as well as the Robert Eisner Award for Community Service.
Additionally, Fernández-Chavero is the President of the Board of the Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center, which has provided health care services to underserved New Haven communities for nearly 50 years. Before his current position, he served as Senior Philanthropic Officer for the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven. He oversaw the launch of Progress Latino, the Foundation’s most successful emerging market fund.
Mr. Fernández-Chavero has previously chaired the Community Foundation Leadership Projects for the National Funders’ Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities. He also served on the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy’s Advisory Council and served on the Connecticut Advisory Council of the Corporation for Supportive Housing.
The Connecticut Hispanic Bar Association was founded in 1993 to promote the recognition of Hispanic lawyers throughout the state, provide mentors for up-and-coming attorneys, and encourage diversity in both public and private sector legal agencies. The CBHA has over 100 members and prioritizes community service and outreach to students from high school to law school.

New Haven – Mayor Toni N. Harp and the city’s department of Arts, Culture, and Tourism Director Andy Wolf will welcome to the mayor’s office this morning representatives of Wells Fargo Bank, the corporate sponsor of this year’s holiday tree-lighting extravaganza. City officials will receive a donation to help New Haven underwrite costs of the event, scheduled for November 30.
Tuesday ceremony is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. on Floor 2 of City Hall – 165 Church Street – in New Haven. Members of the press are invited to help New Haven gear up for this year’s highly anticipated tree-lighting event.
Mayor Harp said the donation to be received today represents a productive collaboration among the public and private sectors to benefit all those who appreciate the city’s place as the regional center for time-honored holiday traditions.
The New Haven Police Department strongly endorses the following Halloween Safety Tips
Walk Safely
Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks.
Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross.
Put electronic devices down and keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street.
Teach children to make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them.
Always walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible. Children should walk on direct routes with the fewest street crossings.
Watch for cars that are turning or backing up. Teach children to never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars.
Trick or Treat With an Adult
Children under the age of 16 should not be alone at night without adult supervision. If kids are mature enough to be out without supervision, they should stick to familiar areas that are well lit and trick-or-treat in groups.
Keep Costumes both Creative and Safe
Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colors.
Choose face paint and makeup whenever possible instead of masks, which can obstruct a child’s vision.
Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by drivers.
When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls.
In light of recent social-media “CLOWN” concerns – we recommend an alternative costume.
Drive Extra Safely on Halloween
Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways.
Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs.
Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully.
Eliminate any distractions inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings.
Drive slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic and turn your headlights on earlier in the day to spot children from greater distances.
Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. so be especially alert for kids during those hours.
Added information from the New Haven Police Department
Who’s at your door?!
Although many adults dress in costumes and participate in Halloween, Trick or Treating IS A CHILDREN’S ACTIVITY.
You may open your door for anyone you wish BUT if you are suspicious of people at your door (especially older teenagers, adults without children and those without costumes or just masks), don’t open it.
Make sure you have a clear view of who is outside. Keep porch lights on.
If you don’t want to entertain Trick or Treaters, post a note covering your door bell.
Report any criminal, suspicious or unruly behavior to Police, your Block Watch and your neighbors. The New Haven Police Department phone number is 203-946-6316.
The New Haven Police Department will have additional patrols assigned in residential neighborhoods during the Trick or Treating hours. The patrols will consist of both Uniformed Officers and Plain-clothed Officers and Detectives.
Happy Halloween!

New Haven – City officials will be joined by sponsors, representatives of community groups, and others at noon tomorrow when they welcome to the New Haven Green the just-harvested, soon-to-be-decorated huge holiday tree.
Tomorrow’s welcoming observance will be on the Lower Green, across Church Street from City Hall.
This year’s holiday tree will serve as the focal point for many of the city’s annual holiday traditions. Among them, an elaborate tree-lighting celebration – complete with music, entertainment, and celebrity appearances – is scheduled for Thursday evening, November 30.
