Since natural gas plays such an important role in our everyday lives, maintaining our system reliability is a high priority. At Oklahoma Natural Gas, we work hard to keep our customers safe and provide reliable service. Part of that means keeping our pipelines and facilities secure from outside harm. Did you know that you can play a part in that effort, too?

If you ever observe something unusual or out of the ordinary near one of our facilities, call our emergency line at 800-458-4251 to report the incident. If you feel there is an immediate threat or emergency, you should always call 911. Be sure to describe the location, when it occurred, what happened and how many people were involved, along with detailed descriptions of any people or vehicles.

Unusual activity near our pipeline facilities includes:

• People acting suspiciously or loitering;

• A suspicious or unmarked vehicle parked nearby;

• Any suspicious packages left nearby;

• People recording or monitoring activities;

• People showing unusual interest; and

• People taking photos or notes.

Thank you for helping keep our pipeline system safe!

SUMMER STEAK SKEWERS#CookingWithGasRecipe of the Month

• ¼ cup soy sauce • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar • 3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar • ½ teaspoon garlic powder • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt • ½ teaspoon garlic pepper seasoning • 4 fluid ounces lemon-lime soda • 2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1 ½ inch cubes • 2 bell peppers, cut into 2 inch pieces • ½ pound fresh mushrooms, stems removed • 1 pint cherry tomatoes

1. In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, light brown sugar, distilled white vinegar, garlic powder, seasoned salt, garlic pepper seasoning and lemon-lime soda. Reserve about 1/2 cup of this marinade for basting. Place steak in a large resealable plastic bag. Cover with the remaining marinade and refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.

2. Preheat your natural gas grill for high heat. Thread steak, peppers, tomatoes and mushrooms onto skewers in an alternating fashion.

3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Cook for 10 minutes, or to desired doneness. Baste frequently with reserved marinade during the last 5 minutes.

Do you have a few outdoor projects to finish up before summer ends? Remember to always call 811 at least 48 hours, excluding the date of notification, weekends and holidays, before starting any digging project. From building a deck to planting a tree, state law requires every digging and excavation project requires a call to 811 – a free and easy service that keeps you and your neighbors safe.

One phone call to 811 will route you to Okie 811, which will alert owners of underground pipelines, telecommunication cables and power lines to mark their buried assets within two business days of the request. The lines will be marked with flags or non-permanent spray paint that let you know to stay clear of that area when digging. It’s important to keep these markers in place until all digging has been completed.

It’s easy, it’s free and it’s the best way to stay safe while digging. So remember: For every digging project – no matter how small – "be a Dig Hero" and make the call! Learn more about 811 and safe digging at BeADigHeroOklahoma.com.
