      State Fair of West Virginia Visitors Can Learn Important Electrical Safety Tips at Live Demo

      GreenbrierJournal

      Visitors at the State Fair of West Virginia in Lewisburg have the unique opportunity to learn critical electrical safety tips through live demonstrations hosted by Mon Power, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE). The company is showcasing its live wire electrical safety trailer on the fairgrounds, offering attendees a firsthand look at the power of electricity and how to stay safe around electrical equipment.
      The demonstrations, utilizing the trailer's 7,200-kilovolt power lines, provide highly visual and impactful lessons on recognizing dangerous electrical conditions. The trailer, along with an informational booth, is stationed at 947 Maplewood Ave., with live demonstrations taking place daily at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. through August 16.
      "Safety is a core value for our company, and this is a great opportunity at one of the state's largest events to educate people of all ages and backgrounds about how to stay safe and avoid accidental contact with power lines and electrical equipment," said Jim Myers, Vice President of FirstEnergy's West Virginia Operations.
      The trailer is equipped with various types of electrical equipment commonly found in neighborhoods, including power lines, transformers, and systems that transition overhead power into underground services. Powered by a generator, the trailer allows Mon Power crews to simulate real-life scenarios in a controlled environment, raising awareness of the dangers associated with live wires and the importance of staying vigilant around power lines.
      Trained facilitators from Mon Power demonstrate some of the most common causes of power outages, such as animals contacting equipment or tree branches falling on lines. They also highlight the risks first responders face when approaching vehicles that may be in contact with live wires.
      A key focus of the demonstrations is on the everyday household objects that can pose a risk when used near electrical lines, such as ladders, kite strings, and shovels. The crew simulates what happens when these objects come into contact with power lines, creating bright electrical arcs that visually demonstrate the potential dangers.
      These safety demonstrations are part of FirstEnergy's broader "Stop. Look. Live." corporate safety campaign, which aims to educate the public on electrical safety and prevent accidents. For those unable to attend, additional safety tips and educational videos are available on FirstEnergy's public safety website.
      The State Fair of West Virginia, the state's largest multi-day event, is currently celebrating its 99th year. More information about the fair can be found at statefairofwv.com.
      Mon Power provides electric service to approximately 395,000 customers across 34 counties in West Virginia. To stay updated, follow Mon Power on X (formerly Twitter) @MonPowerWV and on Facebook at facebook.com/MonPowerWV.

      U.S. Postal Service Implements Stamp Price Increase

      GreenbrierJournal

      Earlier this week, the United States Postal Service (USPS) implemented a stamp price increase, further raising the cost of mailing packages and letters. The move, which has sparked public debate, is part of a series of rate adjustments by the USPS, marking the fifth increase since August 2021.
      For individuals with a stash of forever stamps, the news comes with a silver lining – these stamps remain valid despite the price hike. However, the purchase price for new forever stamps has risen by two cents, now standing at 68 cents per stamp, compared to the previous 66 cents for first-class mail.
      The USPS justifies the latest rate hike by pointing to the need to counteract inflation and rectify the "effects of a previously defective pricing model." However, critics argue that the rapid succession of price increases is unprecedented and has raised concerns about the long-term viability of traditional mail services.
      The recent adjustment follows a postage hike in July and a previous increase in August 2021, when the cost of a forever stamp rose to 58 cents. In the midst of these changes, the current postmaster has unveiled a comprehensive 10-year plan aimed at improving the financial health of the USPS. This plan includes measures such as slowing down the delivery of standard mail to six days, a shift from the previous goal of three days nationwide.
      In addition to the higher stamp prices, the USPS has increased rates for priority mail and ground services by over five percent. While the USPS contends that these adjustments are necessary for financial stability, critics argue that the rapid price hikes may discourage individuals from using traditional mail services altogether.
      The ongoing public debate reflects a broader concern about the accessibility and affordability of postal services in the United States. As the USPS grapples with these changes, questions about the future of mail services persist in an era dominated by digital communication. The impact of these adjustments on consumers and the postal industry as a whole remains a topic of keen interest and discussion across the nation.

      Best Buy Recalls Insignia™ Pressure Cookers Due to Burn Hazard

      GreenbrierJournal

      In a recent development, Best Buy has issued a recall for approximately 930,000 Insignia™ Multi-Function Pressure Cookers due to a burn hazard caused by incorrect volume markings on the inner pot. The flaw in the product design can potentially lead to overfilling the pot, resulting in hot food and liquids being expelled when the pressure cooker is vented or opened while pressurized.
      The recall, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, involves Insignia Multi-Function Pressure Cookers with model numbers NS-MC60SS8, NS-MC60SS9, or NS-MC80SS9, along with inner cooker pots bearing model numbers NS-MCRP6NS9 and NS-MCRP6SS9, which were also sold separately as replacements. These electric pressure cookers and inner pots come in six- and eight-quart capacities and bear the brand name INSIGNIA on the front as well as a permanent on-product label. The model number of the recalled pressure cookers is printed on the side of the cooker, while the inner cooker pots are black with non-stick coating and embossed markings indicating cup and liter measurements.
      The critical issue is that the incorrect volume markings on the inner pot can lead to consumers inadvertently overfilling the pressure cooker. Consequently, when these pressure cookers are vented using the quick release method or opened while their contents are still under pressure, there is a significant risk of hot food and liquids being forcefully expelled, posing a burn hazard to consumers.
      To prevent accidents and injuries, consumers are advised to ensure that the inner pot is not filled beyond two-thirds of its capacity when pressure cooking. They should also confirm that the lid is securely locked before initiating pressure cooking and ensure that the floating locking valve has dropped before attempting to open the lid while the cooker is pressurized.
      Best Buy has reported 31 incidents involving these pressure cookers in which the contents were expelled under pressure. These incidents include 17 cases of burn injuries, some of which have been classified as second-degree and severe burns.
      The affected Insignia pressure cookers were sold at Best Buy stores nationwide and online at www.bestbuy.com and www.amazon.com between October 2017 and June 2023, with prices ranging from $50 to $120.
      Consumers who own one of the recalled pressure cookers are urged to stop using them immediately and to contact Best Buy for a free replacement of the inner pot and floating locking valve for signaling pressure. Best Buy Purchasing LLC, based in Richfield, Minnesota, is the importer of these products, which were manufactured in China.
      Consumers who have purchased these pressure cookers should check the model and inner pot numbers to determine if their unit is part of the recall and act accordingly to ensure their safety. The recall number for this product is 24-013. Best Buy is committed to providing a safe and reliable shopping experience for its customers and encourages those affected by the recall to reach out for a replacement.

      Cornerstone IGA Now Offering Heritage Mountain Farm Fresh Eggs

      GreenbrierJournal

      In an exciting development Cornerstone IGA has announced that it will now carry Heritage Mountain Farm Fresh Eggs on its shelves. These eggs come from a small family-owned farm located in Frankford. Cornerstone IGA took to their social media channels to share the good news with their customers. The post read, "Cornerstone IGA New Product! We are now carrying Heritage Mountain Farm Fresh Eggs! Free range, Non-GMO, and LOCAL! Head over to their page to learn more information on their new small business!" The store's decision to offer these locally sourced eggs aligns with a growing trend of consumers seeking out fresh, sustainable, and ethically produced food.
      Heritage Mountain Farm, as described on their website, is a haven for heritage breeds of dogs, cows, chickens, sheep, and rabbits. The farm's commitment to preserving these breeds and promoting a natural, chemical-free approach to raising livestock has garnered them a dedicated following. They pasture-raise their animals without the use of vaccines and hormones, and their pastures remain free of pesticides and fertilizing chemicals.
      The farm's name, Heritage Mountain Farm, reflects their deep-rooted values and faith. "We started our farm through our faith and love for our children. Our farm's highest values are honor and truth. Our word is steadfast and means everything to our farm. Our customers can feel confident in whichever animal or product they purchase, knowing no corners were cut or shortcuts were taken," say Bonnie and Major, the dedicated owners of Heritage Mountain Farm.
      One of the highlights of Heritage Mountain Farm's offerings is their diverse flock of chickens, including Red Ranger chickens and Golden Comet chickens, both of which are considered heritage breeds. These chickens are NPIP (National Poultry Improvement Plan) Certified, ensuring the quality of their produce and flock. The farm supplies eggs by the dozen to local markets, bakeries, and restaurants in the area, catering to the needs of both individual consumers and businesses.
      Moreover, Heritage Mountain Farm sells pullets that are 14+ weeks old and either already laying eggs or soon to be, providing customers with a convenient way to start their own flocks without the waiting period typically associated with raising chickens.
      For those interested in experiencing the quality and flavor of Heritage Mountain Farm Fresh Eggs, Cornerstone IGA is now the go-to destination. The addition of these locally sourced eggs to the store's inventory not only supports a small, family-owned farm but also gives customers access to a product that aligns with their values of sustainability, quality, and supporting local businesses.
