Multiple children have been sickened after a carbon monoxide leak at a day care in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

ALLENTOWN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — Action News has learned a malfunctioning furnace caused a carbon monoxide leak that sickened more than two dozen people, children and adults, at a day care facility in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

The incident was reported Tuesday morning at Happy Smiles Learning Center in the 400 block of Wabash Street.

Emergency crews responded to a 911 call for an unconscious child.

The owner of the day care center, Jesenia Gautreaux, says she was on her way to the facility when she received a call from an employee right around 7:30 a.m. saying there was something wrong with one of the children.

“All of a sudden he just collapsed. They tried to bring him back, but he was just not responding. So my staff called 911 right away,” Gautreaux said.

Captain John Christopher of the Allentown Fire Department said when firefighters and EMTs arrived on the scene, monitors on their bags alerted them of the carbon monoxide leak.

The center was completely evacuated as a result.

The fire chief said it turned into a massive emergency response as multiple people were showing symptoms.

Multiple children were placed on stretchers, as more waited to be transported.

Authorities said a total of 32 people, 28 children and 4 adults, were taken to four hospitals in the Lehigh Valley.

Several of the kids have been transferred to Philadelphia hospitals for treatment with hyperbaric oxygen.

Nineteen of the patients had CO levels in their blood ten times higher than normal.

Action News is told all of the victims, including the child who passed out, are listed in stable condition. We’ve also learned there were no functioning carbon monoxide detectors inside the day care.

It turns out, the city of Allentown passed a statute a few months ago mandating day care facilities all be equipped with carbon monoxide detectors.

But the deadline for day care operators to install those detectors is October 27 – a bit more than two weeks away.

That’s why Happy Smiles Learning Center was able to pass inspection this past summer without a CO detector.

Allentown officials say they passed the ordinance on the local level because a statewide bill requiring daycare facilities to install CO monitors remains stalled in Harrisburg.

Meanwhile, Gautreaux says she has every intention of reopening her business after the source of the carbon monoxide leak is found and repaired.

“I will do my best to do it as quickly as possible,” Gautreaux said.

HAPPY SMILES OF GRATEFUL PATIENTS ARE A GREAT INCENTIVE TO MOVING FORWARD — Vichug news

On February 9, dentists all over the world celebrate their professional holiday. Since 2012, a dental office “Dental Lux” has been opened in Vichuga. During this time, many residents of the city and the region, as well as other settlements, have appreciated the high service of medical services and the skill of specialists working here.

Natalya Andreevna Novozhilova, General Director of Dental Lux LLC, shared with me about the path to this interesting and much-needed profession, the first experience and plans for further development.

Natalya is a native Vichuzhanka, born on June 1, 1988 in the family of Tatyana Mikhailovna and Andrey Anatolyevich Kashintsev. She was brought up with her older sister Elena.

While still at school number 11, when for the first time I seriously thought about who I would like to become in the future, I decided to join the police and enter the Volgograd Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Good academic performance, excellent physical data and regular sports would make it possible to realize our plans without much difficulty. In addition, the young girl has always been attracted to this profession by discipline and high responsibility. “However, the relatives did not approve of this idea, and mother ,” explains Natalya, “ did not want to let me go to a distant city on the Volga after finishing grade 9 – she was afraid that then I would not return home, I would stay there to live and work” .

Some time later, Tatyana Mikhailovna’s sensitive maternal heart helped her daughter to suggest the right path – to embark on a medical path and choose the profession of a dentist. Natalya did not argue, and today, already being a highly qualified specialist, she notes that her mother was right. Behind my interlocutor are years of study and rich practice, without which, as you know, there is nowhere in the business of healing.

“I am sincerely grateful to my mother for directing me to this particular area,” she admits.

Three years of study at the Ivanovo Pharmaceutical College in the specialty “Dentist” flew by like one day. Returning to her hometown, in the summer she replaced the dentist in pediatric dentistry.

“It was here that I clearly realized how interesting my profession is, which allows me to help people. But when I wanted to stay at the polyclinic for a permanent job, it turned out that all the vacancies were filled, but there was a catastrophic shortage of specialists with higher education,” – continues my interlocutor.

Faced with a difficult choice – to find a job of a different profile or to seek happiness in a foreign city in order to improve the skills of the mastered profession, Natalya Novozhilova (by that time she had already married and changed her maiden name) decided that without higher education it would be impossible to realize her full potential can, and entered the Samara State Medical University at the Faculty of Dentistry.

— Natalya, why did you choose Samara University, and what was it like to decide to leave your family for such a distance?

– The choice was made, of course, not by chance. After reviewing the reviews and recommendations, I really wanted to improve my skills here, in one of the leading educational institutions in the country with the best technical equipment and level of training.
Since our profession involves only full-time education, my student life was extended for another five years. It was difficult to be away from loved ones and loved ones for so long, and to see each other only during short vacations. But my husband Alexander and my parents supported me, instilling confidence and hope that everything will certainly work out. It was especially difficult to continue studying when the eldest son Andrei was born. A month after his birth, I was forced to return to Samara, and my mother and husband took care of the baby. Of course, without them, I would not have achieved what I have now.

— When did you get the idea to open your own dental office?

— The decision matured in the second year of study at the university. The years of study were rich and exciting. We were especially lucky with the teachers, who invested in us all their knowledge and skills, managing to awaken an incredible interest in the chosen craft, the desire to comprehend all its subtleties and nuances.
Well, having received a diploma of higher education, I felt confident in my abilities and realized that I really love my profession. Having set a goal for myself, I was able to achieve it with gradual steps, and a dental office “Dental Lux” appeared in our city.

— How did you take your first steps as a leader, who helped you?

— From the first day of opening the office, my colleague, a dentist-therapist with rich experience, and part-time friend of our family, Marina Nikolaevna Razvalova, has been helping me with advice and deeds in everything.

Husband Alexander is responsible for maintaining documentation and resolving issues related to the material and technical part. His specialty as an electronics maintenance engineer came in handy. In general, he always supports me in all endeavors, my reliable shoulder.

— Today, Dental Lux is the only private dental office in Vichuga offering surgical medical services to its patients. Not every specialist will undertake to remove a diseased tooth that cannot be treated. How is such, at first glance, a fragile woman like you, not afraid to take on this direction?

— Indeed, just a few years ago, while still in college, I could not even imagine that I could reach this level and become a surgeon. But, having mastered the higher school of dentistry, I realized that it was necessary to grow further: today time, the speed of development of medical technologies and pharmacology require this from us. I wanted to master related specializations, which are in great demand in our city and region, therefore, on the basis of the Institute for the Improvement of Doctors of the Chuvash Republic, I specialized in the profiles of surgical and therapeutic dentistry.

I am very grateful for the invaluable help in mastering the necessary skills during the surgical internship to the current doctor of the city dental clinic Roman Alexandrovich Patrakov. He is a true professional who taught me a lot. Now I am one hundred percent sure: in order to achieve a high level of knowledge and gain invaluable experience, it is important to never stop in your development.

As for fear, there is simply no place for it in our sphere of activity. The most important thing here is a competent execution technique.

– Please tell us how you spend your free time.

— Our family prefers outdoor activities. In winter – skates and snowboard, which son Andrey is fond of. In the summer we love cycling through our native expanses, we are engaged in gardening, we grow vegetables and fruits on the land. As a child, I was instilled with a love for physical culture, so now I try to find time to go to the gym, to fitness. We want to instill in our children the desire for an active lifestyle, versatile hobbies. The younger son Artem, a preschooler, goes in for swimming, and the elder Andrey, a third grade student at school No. 13, plays football and music (he studies at the Children’s Art School in the piano class).

— Your constant credo is to constantly improve and not stand still. How do you imagine a new stage of your development?

— Plans for the future include implantology. I would like to do everything possible to make this promising area available to residents in our city.
Happy smiles and gratitude from patients who come to our dental office even from neighboring cities and regions are a great incentive to move forward.

— Natalia, your life path is yet another confirmation of a well-known truth: if you really want something, believe in your abilities and go towards your goal, everything will certainly work out. May it always be so. Good luck and thanks for the interview.

write this (I peered in Wolfschanze ): with the advent of the winter, many have been reduced (and the Russian person has a national feature). Fortunately, self-taught inventors are on the alert and offer very worthy solutions to this issue.

An American girl named Lauren McCarthy suggested a great fall/winter option for those who constantly walk around with a sour face. Lauren’s invention is a beanie that hits its owner in the back of the head with a spike if he doesn’t smile.

A motor is built into the base of the hat, connected to an external sensor (it is somewhat reminiscent of a headset). As soon as you stop smiling, a metal spike pierces the back of your head. Lauren called her invention “Happy Cap”.

But there is a more budget option available to everyone.

Materials and tools: elastic for panties, scissors, paper clips, skillful hands, camera.
It turns out like this:

Without this device – much less joyful…
