BY JASMINE CUPPIn the Port Clinton City School

District and in Danbury Public School alone there are about 540 youth who have disabilities. Ottawa County has the third highest senior population in Ohio and 40% of those grandparents are childcare provid-ers. Adults with disabilities, who are also parents, would love a place to bring their children and play with them. In comes the idea for an all accessible playground.

Together, the Port Clinton Ro-tary Club, Kiwanis of Port Clinton, Port Clinton Lions Club, the Ability Center and Friends of the Port Clin-ton Parks have developed the idea of a playground for all ages and all abilities: Flagship Collaborative Play Place. The new play place will re-place the existing playground struc-ture that is currently in Lakeview Park.

The playground is especially de-signed with every age and every ability level in mind.

PlanningTory Thompson, director of rural outreach at the Abil-

ity Center of Ottawa County and Kiwanis member, has been a great advocate for the project.

“This all accessible play-ground will attract all people from all areas. They can come and spend the day at the beach and play on the playground,” said Thompson. “A city in Vir-ginia has a similar playground to the one that we are building and they are busing people in to visit. I envision that hap-pening here; people coming from all over just to play.”

“When the community ser-vice organizations gave their presentation about the project, we were extremely excited,” said Port Clinton Mayor Vince Leone. “I appreciate all of these organizations coming together and participat-ing in the process to make this happen. They have had great ongoing efforts to make this dream a reality.”

“Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Ability Center and Friends of the Parks have been very organized and gave us a com-plete, detailed plan for consideration. It was very impor-tant for us that both sides (the City and organizations) knew what to expect,” said Parks and Recreation chair-man and City Councilman Lisa Sarty.

Sarty attended many Flagship Collaborative Play Place meetings on behalf of the City to help the service or-ganizations with their project and to keep the City in-formed of the progress.

“The people organizing this project have done a won-derful job,” said Sarty.

What this means for citizens and visitorsThere are no other all accessible playgrounds of this

caliber in our area. As Thompson said, it will be a draw from miles around.

“Play increases socialization and increases social sus-tainability,” said Thompson. “Children that meet on the playground, who see each other on a daily or weekly ba-sis, can form lifelong friendships by playing together.”

“Having a limited mobility myself with my leg, I can appreciate the need,” said Mayor Leone. “For kids who have disabilities, and for all kids, playing with their peers is crucial for their development. People with dis-abilities are an important part of our community and should have the same amenities available.”

“I am excited about the accessibility park,” said Sarty. “It will be a wonderful addition to the City of Port Clin-ton. It will be a benefit for the residents as well as any-one who visits the area. Lakeview Park is a great place for the playground. It is centrally located in the City, there are nice bathrooms on site, there is plenty of park-ing and it’s near the beach.”

To help with this missionThe Flagship Collaborative Play Place is still in need of

financial support. Those wanting to help support this project can make

a donation through the website flagshippc.com or by mailing a check (made payable to FCP) to P.O. Box 528114, Port Clinton, OH 43452.

For $500 a family or organization can purchase a plank for the boardwalk at the playground. The plank can con-tain up to 26 characters for dedication and will last a lifetime.

“As mayor, I encourage people to contribute to this project,” said Mayor Leone. “Anytime we give to our kids and our community we are making a great investment.”

For more information on this project, to donate, or to see more conceptual drawings of the playground, visit flagshippc.com.

Tell Tales

Mills Trophy Race• I have never looked at sailboat racing as a danger-

ous sport. However, every now and then, it can be. Such was the case last Friday night in the annual Mills Trophy Race. We tore a jib trying to go to a smaller sail as we approached Niagara Reef Light (a mark of the course) and decided to head back into PCYC. On Saturday I heard about the trag-ic death of a sailor off a boat from Toledo. I then learned that the skipper of that boat at the time of the accident was an old friend who has sailed with me many times over the years. I communicated with him on Monday afternoon. No doubt, he is pretty shook up. He told me that they also had de-cided to retire from the race and were headed into West Harbor channel when the gentleman lost his footing while taking the mainsail down. They made two passes in an attempt to rescue him, but to no avail. They heard the whistle attached to his life jacket, and believed he had made it safely to shore, or at least to the pier head. I think the entire sailing community in the Great Lakes and Lake Erie is grieving today.

• This Saturday, June 13, is The Amazing Island Raise on South Bass Island. Teams will be rac-ing all over the Island (sort of like The Amazing Race on TV), solve clues, complete challenges and win prizes. Teams will meet at 11 a.m. at the Miller Ferry dock on Catawba. All the proceeds from this event benefit Joyful Connections, a supervised visitation exchange center near Oak Harbor, and CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) that helps abused and neglected children in Ottawa County. For more information, contact Sheila Powell at director@gmail.com or visit their web-site at joyfulconnections.com.

• Our “Find Wylie” winner this week is Bob Kirk of Erie Township who was selected from 122 entries who found our friendly fish hiding in the ad for Ca-tawba Island Township on page 11A in last week’s Beacon. Bob wins our weekly $20 gift card from Friendship Food Stores, and also a nice doormat from “Cptn’s Custom Carpets at Fort Firelands. We will hide Wylie again this week, so if you find him, drop off an entry form at our office in the Beacon Place Business Center or click on the Find Wylie Icon at our website thebeacon.net.

• Otterbein North Shore Retirement Community is holding its 20th Anniversary celebration on Sat-urday, June 20, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and everybody is invited! There will be a complimen-tary lunch, music by Donnie Ray Crozier and golf cart tours of their campus. The LEAP Program, an interactive kids traveling playground will be there and there will be lots of prizes.

• Faith United Methodist Women’s Group of Port Clinton is hosting their 6th annual 100 vendor Fabulous Flea Market, Artist and Crafters Show at Lakeview Park on Saturday, June 20, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. In addition to food and live entertain-ment, there will be arts, crafts, antiques, flea mar-keters, garage sale folks, fishing supplies, jewelry, honey greenhouse, home based businesses, home improvement, glassware, furniture, an author, an-imals, loomed rugs, a car raffle and much more. Don’t miss it!

• Here’s an interesting item…the final resting place for an antenna that was on top of the World Trade Center in New York City on 9/11/2001 will be in a park in Gibsonburg. This historic artifact is 36 feet tall and weighs over 7,000 lbs. It will be brought to its new home Friday night, June 12, with a special commemoration at 6 p.m.

• Tickets are now on sale for the July 9 Sunset Cruise aboard the Jet Express sponsored by the Port Clin-ton Chamber of Commerce. The sightseeing cruise leaves the PC docks at 7:30 and cruises past the shorelines of Catawba, Marblehead, Kelley’s Is-land, South Bass, Sugar Island, Rattlesnake Island and Green Island before enjoying a sunset. There will also be lots of hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. Cost is $40 per person or $70 per couple. Space is limited, so contact the Chamber office at 419-734-5503 to reserve your spot.

People often ask whatever happened to PC’s 2001 waterfront plan (see the Bea-con May 14, 2015). Like most plans we’ve seen in Port Clinton, parts were imple-mented and others weren’t. This happens when influential individuals cherry pick the plan. In 2001 the Pflum, Klausmeier and Gehrum (PKG) Waterfront Protection and Enhancement Plan states on page 24 that “Commercial or retail development should not extend any further east of downtown or any further west of the City Beach boundary.”

By 2004, three short years after the 2001 plan was accepted, the Waterfront Protec-tion and Enhancement Steering Commit-tee started enlisting proposals from devel-opers to put commercial buildings along the western edge of Waterworks Park – clearly contrary to the plan.

In 2005 the Historic Port Clinton organi-zation, precursor of Main Street, declared to Poggemeyer that two historic and cul-turally significant structures be included in the plan, the Lighthouse and Light-house Keepers Boathouse.

In 2006 the City appointed a Water-works Park Redevelopment Committee to work with the engineering firm Pogge-meyer, and as part of the 21 point “Com-munity Criteria” that they defined, the City needed to maintain ownership of the Waterworks Park property.

The City has now spent well over $800,000 for engineering firms and plans since 2001. If the City had kept with the original plan that money would have paid

for the boardwalk and upgrades to the wa-terfront we now cannot afford. This cher-ry picking of plans has led to the friction in the community.

In 2014 residents of Port Clinton stood up and passed Issue-6. The Citizen’s Ini-tiative solves this problem of governmen-tal action that is inconsistent. It reigns in government which refuses to deal with the issues supported by the people. Some people do not want the property sold or commercially developed, some people do not want condominiums and some just don’t believe that it will be an economic win for Port Clinton. One thing can be said for sure about the passage of Issue-6, the people do not like the current proposal for whatever reason.

Those citizens who voted for Issue-6 have sent a strong message to our local politicians - that they don’t trust them to make those decisions for them. They wanted a way to have direct control. They voted and took that control. Before Is-sue-6 only a few elected officials would make the decision and the community’s animosity would continue. Now for the first time, Port Clinton has a way to heal, after a majority has made the monumental decision by exercising our nation’s most fundamental right – voting in an election.

velopment

Upon arrival, Kaptur entered the center and visited

with seniors. Then everyone went outside to help put the plants in the beds.

“It is important for seniors to have fresh fruits and vege-tables in their diets,” said Kaptur. “Instead of just bringing flowers to plant, I brought tomatoes and squash as well.”

The 2015 Ohio Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics presented by The Kroger Company begins on Thursday, June 18, and continues throughout Ohio to the opening ceremonies of the 2015 Special Olympics Ohio State Summer Games on Friday, June 26. The Ohio Law Enforcement Torch Run is the single largest grassroots fundraising program for Special Olympics Ohio and its more than 23,000 participating athletes.

This year more than 2000 officers are set to participate. The Law Enforcement Torch Run and its various fund-raising projects have two goals: To raise money and to gain awareness for the athletes who participate in Special Olympics Ohio.

The Torch Run is a series of relays in which officials representing all facets of law enforcement run or bicycle the Flame of Hope more than 1000 miles and through more than 150 Ohio communities.

The 2015 Torch Run officially begins with a special kick-off at 2 p.m. on Thursday, June 18, at the Sylvania Police Department in Sylvania Township. The torch will then visit the Toledo Police Museum and the Toledo Police Di-vision/Lucas County Sheriff’s Office before it is carried to Fifth Third Field in downtown Toledo for an appear-ance at a Mud Hens game. The Torch Run will also be a

part of the Bryan Jubilee and parade on Saturday, June 20.

On Sunday, June 21, the torch starts its day at Perkins High School, in Sandusky, at 8:30 a.m. followed by a cer-emony in downtown Sandusky starting at 10 a.m. The Flame of Hope is then featured in a parade in Put-in-Bay starting at 2 p.m. before receiving an escort from patrol boats across the water to Port Clinton.

The Torch Run starts again in four quadrants of Ohio with main routes originating in Athens, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Marietta and Toledo.

All routes will converge Friday, June 26, in Columbus for a dramatic and inspirational entrance into the open-ing ceremonies of the 2015 Special Olympics State Sum-mer Games, at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on the campus of The Ohio State University. More than 2700 Special Olympics athletes receive the Flame of Hope from the law enforcement officials and light a stadium cauldron to officially sig-nify the opening of the 2015 State Summer Games.

AROUND OTTAWA COUNTY6A Thursday, June 11, 2015www.thebeacon.net

The Ottawa County Historical Society is taking on the first comprehensive telling of the story of Ottawa County in over a cen-tury, in commemoration of the County’s 175th anniversary. The book project got a boost from the Ottawa County Commu-nity Foundation Wednesday, June 3, with an underwriting commitment of $10,000.

Foundation officers Joy Roth and Dr. Derrill ‘Hab’ Hablitzel presented a large facsimile of the check to OCHS vice presi-dent Rich Norgard and project chair Pat O’Keeffe at the Bob Armbruster Plaza be-hind Ida Rupp Library. The monies come from the estate of Earl J. Johnson, a promi-nent Ottawa County school superinten-dent, farmer, and early Community Foun-dation board member from Williston, who died in 2012, at the age of 101.

O’Keeffe, Norgard and OCHS member Nancy Dunham have been working with Donning Company Publishers in the prep-aration of the book, and will be responsi-ble for all the narrative and photographs. Donning will provide help with layout, editing, publishing, and publicity. Don-ning is based in Virginia Beach, VA, with a

regional office in Newark. They have pro-duced volumes as diverse as a Naval War of 1812 book for the US Naval Academy, and a history of Air Force One, as well as numerous histories of communities and organizations.

OCHS president Paul Moon says he is gratified with the response so far for un-derwriting the 175 year history, and that it has been “satisfying and generous, but by no means complete.” The Society needs underwriting of at least $25,000 to launch the publishing process.

The OCHS has been involved in a num-ber of successful publications, including the popular Oral History series, Ottawa County Driving Tours, Ottawa County Railroad Guides, East and West; and the combined 1874-1900 Atlas.

Ottawa County was founded on March 6, 1840, as a compilation of slices of three ad-jacent counties. The diversity of its people and industry will be documented and cel-ebrated in the volume. It is expected to be available in the spring of 2016.

WSOS Early Childhood Center in Port Clinton capped off its preschool year by achieving a five-star Step Up To Quality (SUTQ) rating, the highest possible, from the Ohio Departments of Education and Job and Family Services.

Along with the Port Clinton center’s achievement, WSOS Early Childhood cen-ters in Genoa and Perrysburg/Rossford also earned National Association for the Educa-tion of Young Children (NAEYC) accredita-tion.

To receive its five-star SUTQ rating, the WSOS Port Clinton Learning Center met high program standards for learning and development, administration and leader-ship, staff qualifications and professional development, and family and community partnerships.

To earn NAEYC accreditation, Genoa and Perrysburg/Rossford childcare centers met ten standards including curriculum, teach-ing, health, leadership and other standards. Along with applying, conducting self-eval-uations, and submitting documentation, centers also had site visits from NAEYC prior to receiving accreditation.

With these recent achievements, eight of

nine WSOS Wood, Sandusky, Ottawa and Seneca County child development centers in are now NAEYC accredited, and all nine centers are SUTQ five star rated.

“Staff at each of these centers have worked very hard to earn their respective accredi-tations and five-star ratings,” said WSOS Quality Teaching and Learning Coordinator Delisa Nelson.

Center participation in NAEYC accredita-tion and SUTQ rating system is voluntary. However, participation does help WSOS Early Childhood Center staff evaluate their performance and ensure each center’s ad-herence to high educational programming standards.

“Achieving accreditation through NAEYC is a challenging process; so is earning a five-star rating from the Step Up to Quality rating system,” said WSOS Quality Teaching and Learning Coordinator Delisa Nelson. “But we feel that the staff, children and families at each of our centers benefit from the work that goes into earning these achievements.”

dedication, the American Red Cross is there whenever emergencies strike. The Red Cross gives what fire takes – dignity. Funds raised through this year’s gala will help sup-port the Home Fires Campaign goal to re-duce the number of home fire related deaths and injuries by 25% over the next five years.”

Mallory, Sievert, Rocket relays all reach the podiumBY YANEEK SMITH

Getting to the state tournament is hard enough, but nearing winning a champion-ship and reaching the podium is a whole other accomplishment.

Port Clinton junior Morrisa Mallory nearly won the Division II title in the shot put, finishing with a throw of 43 feet, 2.5 inches, less than a foot behind the winner, Garrettsville Garfield’s Edith Svonavec (44-01.25). She also placed in the discus, finishing seventh with a toss of 126-04. Her effort alone notched 10 points for the club, helping the Redskins to finish with 10 points, good for 20th in Div. II.

It was a perfect finish for Mallory, who was the regional and district champion in the shot put and the Sandusky Bay Con-ference champion in the discus.

No other area athletes matched her per-formance, but several came close.

Oak Harbor senior Tyler Sievert finished seventh in the 1600-meter run in 4 min-utes, 22.17 seconds. Sievert was in 12th place after two laps but started to make his move with 800 meters remaining, picking off three runners in the third lap and then getting two more in the final lap.

It was the finish of a magnificent athletic career for Sievert, who played four sports for the duration of his career and lettered in every one of them — cross country, soc-cer, basketball and track. Sievert earned first-team SBC honors in three of those sports — cross country, soccer and track — and second-team honors in basketball. He led the soccer team to two SBC titles, the track team to a league title this year and was 34th in Div. II in cross country as a junior. Sievert, who will continue his cross country and track career at Ashland Univ. next year, talked about reaching the podium in the 1600.

“I tried to start to pack it in (towards the end) of the second lap and then I went from 12th to ninth,” Sievert said. “On that last lap, I tried to get that last kick going. Going in, my goal (to reach the podium), and with about 600 meters left, It started

to become a reality. I started to go for it and it worked out well.”

It was special for him to finish out his career on such a high note.

“It meant everything (to finish seventh),” Sievert said. “It was a perfect way for me to end my career. I dropped 10 seconds (in the 1600) in the last three meets, (and) that’s how I wanted it to happen. We had a good team this year and I wanted to rep-resent my teammates here (at the state meet).”

The Rocket girls had two relay teams place after seeing three reach the podi-um last year. The 4x100 quartet of Alexa Weis, Rebekah Rayburn, Karis DeWalt and Athena Eli finished sixth in 49.99 and the 4x400 team of Eli, DeWalt, Annie Quisno and Abby Dornbusch was eighth in 4:04.52.

It was the final meet for DeWalt, who was part of four relay teams that placed at state during her time in Oak Harbor, and Rayburn, who was on three relay teams that reached the podium during the last two years. Last season, DeWalt was part of the 4x400 team that was fourth, Rayburn was on the 4x100 relay that finished sixth and both were on the 4x200 quartet that finished eighth.

Rayburn, who was a steady contributor for the track team during her four years on the team, talked about going out on top.

“I’m happy with how we did,” she did. “I think it’s a big accomplishment (to finish sixth) and we showed that we can com-pete with the top teams in the state. I knew it would be harder to place as high (this year) with the competition.”

Some of the elite competition she’s re-ferring to includes Dayton Chaminade Julienne, Cleveland John F. Kennedy, Co-lumbus Eastmoor Academy and Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary, schools that the Rock-ets faced during the finals in both of the relays.

It was quite an accomplishment for the relays, considering that one of their top runners, Allie Jett, was unable to compete

in the postseason after sustaining a quad injury.

“We’ve had a lot of struggles as far as injuries go,” DeWalt said. “I really started to worry when

Allie Jett got hurt, because she’s our secu-rity blanket. When she went down with an injury, I started to panic a little bit, but the

Grand opening and ribbon cutting scheduled for EMPORIO 459

rest of the team stepped up and we found our alternates and they did such a great job to get us back to state. It was great to get the relays back to state in my senior year, but also to get on the podium.

“It’s a great accomplishment. (Those oth-er schools) have a larger number of stu-dents to choose from, a bigger pool, and obviously Oak Harbor isn’t ginormous and we aren’t a city. It just shows that there are athletes everywhere and we’re all competitive and we want to compete at a high level. It shows that with deter-mination and hard work, you can get to the same spots like the kids from the cities and the bigger schools. I like being the un-derdog, its fun and it’s challenging.”

DeWalt, who will continue her soccer ca-reer at the Univ. of Findlay, ran well in her final race, the 4x400, dropping her time by nearly two seconds in the final split.

“I’m sure that had to do with some adrenaline and it being my last race,” she said. “I dropped almost two seconds off my last split from prelims to finals. I wish I could’ve been a little faster, but it is what

it is.”She was also appreciative of her team-

mates for getting her to state in the 4x400 after an unusual sequence of events at re-gionals. DeWalt and her teammates came in third in the final race at the regional meet, but because two runners from some other teams, who were well behind the front pack, tripped over one another, the officials decided to have a re-run. De-Walt and Eli did not run in the second go-around and were replaced by Weis and Andrea Cecil, who came through and helped Oak Harbor to finish second.

“I’ve had some medical problems, so I was having a painful day, and to realize that I gave all that effort and went through all that pain, and to have them say it doesn’t count, that was a shock,” DeWalt said. “It was frustrating because I wanted to be there for the team and the relay that could qualify us for state. Coach McK-itirck understood that and he understood that even before the 4x400 took place, he already had the alternates picked out. He told me to control myself and be the team leader and motivate the alternates and the girls to go out there and do their thing and

get on the podium. “It was a very emotional

4x400 — Alexa and Andrea thought they were done competing. We had to pull them out of that mindset and get their spikes back on; just that alone, that was a huge accomplishment for those two just to be pulled away and they had to com-pletely change their mind-set. I’m thankful that they were willing to do that be-cause it gave me my last 4x400 race. They’re amaz-ing girls, they’re great team-mates and I’m glad I got to share the season with them; they got the team back down to state. And even though Andrea couldn’t be with us (at state), I got her a t-shirt and I gave her my medal. Hopefully she can enjoy that memory as much as I did.”

Due to strong NE winds last weekend, the key to find-ing the biting fish this week in the Lake Erie Island area was all about finding somewhat cleaner water. Find the cleaner water, and you were in position to score on some nice sized Walleye. Charter boats casting were finding nice sized Walleye on shallow water reefs north of Kelleys Island, West reef off of North Bass Island, and on other shallow water structures around South and Middle Bass Islands. Best depths have been from 28’ up to as shal-low as 6’ of water casting weight forward spinners and worm harnesses. Pink, chartreuse, or any other bright colors have been helping get more bites lately when cast-ing these rigs in the murkier water areas. Walleye hitting the docks at Channel Grove Marina in Marblehead this week were as large as 32” and many in the 8-10 lb class.

Deeper water action had started to heat up North of West Sister Island and South of Middle Sister Island the past few days. Casting anglers catching good numbers on breezy days and trolling being more productive on the calmer days. Deeper water southeast of the east point of

South bass was hot over the weekend for trolling, and the Starve Island area was also producing some good fish for trollers in 25-40 ft of water.

If you have Ontario fishing licenses, you may opt to jump over the border and try the west side of Pelee Island where nice Walleye catches were reported over the week-end in 25-32 ft depths. Cleaner water was also in the area between the Bass Islands and Pelee Island, allowing troll-ing charter boats to put some great catches together along the US - Canada border. Look for Walleye to improve as the week wears on and warmer temps prevail.

Good luck in all your fishing adventures!

Capt. Bob Brown, Jr. is owner of Sundance Sportfishing Adventures and is owner and partner of Channel Grove Marina, Marblehead. Capt. Bob can be reached at bob@channelgrove.com. For more information about charters of the marina, visit channelgrove.com.

Be safe along Lake Erie by following these beach safety tips

Before visiting one of the many pub-lic access sites along Ohio’s 312-mile Lake Erie shore, the Ohio Department of Natu-ral Resources (ODNR) would like to remind residents and visitors that recreating along Lake Erie’s shore and swimming in Lake Erie’s water are very different than swim-ming in inland lakes and pools. The ODNR Office of Coastal Management offers the following simple safety tips.

Don’t swim alone. Swim with a buddy in designated beach

areas. Designate a water watcher. A water watcher is a person who keeps tabs

on members of the group and the weather, which can rapidly change. Take turns being the watcher so everyone can join in the fun.

File a float plan. Beach-goers should tell someone who is

not going to the beach where they are go-ing, when they are leaving and when they expect to get back.

Wear a life jacket. People should wear life jackets at the

beach if they do not know how to swim, and life jackets should be worn during big waves. People who are only familiar with swimming in pools and inland ponds can be surprised at the force of currents and waves in Lake Erie.

Remember Lake Erie’s bottom is not flat. Sudden drop-offs from raised sandbars

and changes in the lakebed can occur. Stay-ing in waist deep water is a good rule of thumb for playing with friends.

Be aware of water currents while swim-ming.

Water currents constantly circulate in Lake Erie and can pull swimmers out to deep water. Currents are nearly always pres-ent along structures and can be dangerously strong. Avoid jumping off or swimming near piers, jetties and breakwalls especially when there are waves on Lake Erie.

Learn what to do if caught in a current. Swimmers who get caught in a current

should flip on their backs and float, or swim at a right angle away from the pull of the water and then toward the shore. Currents flowing faster than 2 mph are considered dangerous. Dangerous currents can exceed 5 mph — faster than an Olympic swimmer can swim (i.e., people cannot swim into a current and reach the shore).

Remember that Lake Erie’s water may still be cold.

At the beginning of June 2015, Lake Erie’s surface water ranged from 56-66 ºF. Jump-ing into cold water (less than 70 ºF) can cause a person’s body to go into shock re-

gardless of the air temperature or the per-son’s ability to swim. First, a person’s body will go into cold shock, making them gasp. If a person’s head is under water, they may suck in water and not resurface. If a per-son is wearing a life jacket, the body’s ini-tial shock can cause panic, hyperventila-tion and an increased heart rate leading to a heart-attack – regardless of the person’s age. If a person is still afloat, swimming failure can set in after just three minutes because water draws heat away from a per-son’s body 25 times faster than air. True hypothermia will then set in after about 30 minutes. Experts recommend that people treat any water below 70 ºF as cold water and recreate accordingly. Daily updates on Lake Erie’s water temperature can be found at glerl.noaa.gov.

Learn the signs of drowning. People who are drowning are typically

facing the shore with their mouth at water level, their head titled back and their body vertical. Typically their face will barely be breaking the water’s surface and will be the only visible part of their body. If people could see underwater, a drowning person’s arms and legs would be moving in a motion that would look like they are trying to climb out of the water.

Don’t swim out to help someone in the water without having a flotation device. If someone needs help, throw anything that floats to them such as a life jacket/ring, cooler or inflated beach toy. Seek help from others and call 911. Shout to the person in danger, direct them to flip on their back and float until someone can help them. Do not swim out to a victim and try to rescue him or her without having something that floats because all too often the rescuer can become the victim.

These safety tips are presented as part of the national Rip Current Awareness Week, June 5-15. To learn more about beach safety, including videos of how to escape the pull of a current, go to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s website ded-icated to rip current safety at ripcurrents.noaa.gov.

Many people assume that simply wear-ing a life jacket or another personal flota-tion device is enough to provide adequate safety while enjoying activities on the wa-ter. But just as important as wearing the PFD is that it fit properly.

Selecting a life jacket is not a one-size-fits-all scenario. Nor are all life jackets suitable for all types of water sports and other marine activities. The amount of buoyancy the jacket provides is relative to the activity and the size of the person wearing the jacket. Furthermore, it is un-wise to think that children can simply wear an adult life jacket in a pinch.

Life jackets that are too small or too large can come off or ride up in the water. A jacket that rides up can end up rising over the mouth and nose, making breathing difficult. The proper fit of a life jacket is one where the jacket is snug, but not suf-focating. All of the zippers, ties, straps, snaps, and other connection points should be correctly secured.

Those who have experience in the wa-ter can test out the fit of a life jacket by walking into the water up to the neck. Af-ter lifting up the legs and tilting the head back, the person should be able to float comfortably and not have to put any ef-fort into staying above water. Further-more, the life jacket shouldn’t obstruct the mouth. The person should also be able to swim easily on the back or side without restriction of the arms.

Life jackets or flotation vests fitting chil-dren with PDAs is one of the most fre-quently asked questions of boating safety

educators.Typically, children 12 years and younger

are expected to wear a life jacket at all times when in a boat or around the wa-ter. This means kids will spend significant time wearing the life jacket, so it should be comfortable and fit properly.

Children’s life jackets are typically de-signed around three sizes. An infant de-vice is for children under 30 pounds. A small child is appropriate for children 30 to 50 pounds. A youth size is right for children 50 to 90 pounds. Larger children may graduate to a small adult’s size. Life jackets for young children may have a flo-tation collar that helps to keep the head upright, as a child’s head tends to be his or her heaviest part of the body. In addition, there will likely be a strap that secures be-tween the legs to prevent vest from riding up.

All life jackets should be replaced when they start to fade to the color of the inside label. This might be indicating that their safety protection may have started to de-teriorate.

In addition to properly fitting a life jack-et, it is important to practice being in one in the water. While life jackets may keep adults and children afloat, they may not keep a struggling person face up. There-fore, it is advisable to remain calm in the water while wearing the PFD.

Life jackets can save lives when properly fitted and worn correctly. Also, many peo-ple prefer to purchase life jackets that are a Coast Guard approved device for added protection.

Few things can beat a relaxing evening spent in the yard gathered around the grill in the company of friends and family. Cooking food over an open fire dates back centuries. Despite the various modern means of cooking food, the combination of a metal grill and some flames remains one of the more tasty ways to prepare meals.

Grilling is a relatively easy concept to master, but environmentalists may ques-tion if firing up the barbecue is a smart choice. Rest assured that while the envi-ronmental impact of grilling is negligible, there still are ways to make it even more eco-friendly.

Grilling purists may prefer charcoal to gas, feeling charcoal more effectively pro-duces that familiar smoky flavor, but envi-ronmental experts say that gas grills may be better for the environment. A study by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the Department of Energy found that gas grills generate 5.6 pounds of carbon di-oxide per hour, while charcoal grills pro-duce 11 pounds per hour. Furthermore, the charcoal briquettes used on many grills are made from more than just coal. They may contain wood byproducts, starch, chemical additives, and lighter fluid. For those who insist on charcoal, use natural lump charcoal, which is made from coal and little else.

Another step to take is to invest in a quality grill. Replacing a cheap grill every few years can be harmful to the environ-ment, especially when you consider how many components go into the construc-tion of a grill and the packaging required for shipping long distances. Quality prod-

ucts last longer, and that durability ben-efits the planet.

In addition to buying a better grill, you must take good care of the grill and main-tain it so it works optimally.

In certain ways, grilling is already an eco-friendly activity, as it doesn’t lend well to prepackaged foods and it enables you to turn off the stove while reducing your electricity consumption. In some instances, you may not even need to fire up the barbecue at all. If you’re spending the evening by a chimney or a fire pit, you can skewer a couple of hot dogs and cook them right over the flames.

Do not offset the benefits of grilling by creating a bigger environmental hazard in meal preparation and service. Minimize the use of disposable plates, napkins, cups, and plastic cutlery at your backyard event. Rather than single-serve cans of soda or iced tea, use large pitchers or bulk-sized containers. Insist guests discard all recyclable materials in the proper recy-cling receptacles.

Promptly wrapping up leftovers is an-other way to make grilling even greener. Refrigerating foods means you will have good meals for the rest of the week and will minimize spoiled food that would otherwise end up in the garbage.

When shopping for foods to toss on the barbie, choose locally grown foods and sustainably raised and harvested meats and poultry. Serve generous portions of locally produced vegetables to stretch food even further.

Grilling is a great way to cook in an eco-friendly way if you make a few changes for the better.
