Drowning risks rise with the temperature
Playing in water is one
of the great joys of child-
hood. But according to a
new research study con-
ducted by SAFE KIDS and
Johnson and Johnson,
drowning is the No. 1 kil-
ler of children ages 1 to 4
and the second leading
cause of unintentional in-
jury-related death among
children ages 14 and un-
der.
The majority of
drownings and near-
drownings occur in resi-
dential swimming pools
and in open bodies of wa-
ter. However, children can
drown in as little as one
inch of water, and are
therefore at risk of drown-
ing in bathtubs, buckets,
diaper pails and toilets.
Drowning is a quick
silent killer that only takes
seconds to happen and
typically occurs when a
child is left unattended or
during a brief lapse in
adult supervision. The con-
sequences can be devastat-
ing to families. To prevent
such occurrences, parents
can do more to protect
their children this summer.
Steps parents can take
to help protect children
from drowning include:
*Never leave a child
unsupervised in or around
water in the home. Empty
all containers immediately
after use and store out of
reach.
*Never leave a child
unsupervised in or around
a pool or any open bodies
of water.
*Install four-sided iso-
lation fencing, at least five
feet high, and equipped
with self-closing and self-
latching gates. Fencing
should completely sur-
round swimming pools or
spas and prevent direct
access from a house or
yard.

I.V. Garden Club
By DOROTHY
WILTFONG
It was a beautiful sunny
day on June 14 when Illi-
nois Valley Garden Club
members, their families
and friends met at Gray-
back Campground to cele-
brate club achievements.
Following a picnic,
they moved to the staging
area for installation of the
new officers.
Past President Dorothy

for coming and presented
photo albums, which in-
cluded pictures of the 75th
anniversary party last year
and a copy of the prize-
winning float the club built
for the 2002 I.V. Lions
Day Labor Day Parade, to
committee chairmen. Flo-
ral vases were also given
to all officers.
The 2003-05 officers
are: Edith Martin, presi-
dent; Diana Reitan, treas-
urer and Darlene Milner,

eration of Garden Clubs,

I.V. Doll Club
The I.V. Doll Club met
on June 9 in the I.V. Sen-
ior Center. Rosalee
Mowles showed her Bride
Doll, which she acquired at
a yard sale and was part of
a collection. Since all of
the dolls were in excellent
condition, she brought the
whole collection.
Sandy Washburn
brought several doll maga-
zines dating from 1985 and
after, featuring dolls
dressed in all their bridal
finery.
Since there will be no
meeting in July, the next
