Ladies of Elks Homemade Pies & Bake Sale Saturday, May 20th 11:00 am til sold out This past Monday, City of Florence Mayor Joe Henry pre- sented Station Siuslaw River Coast Guard and Auxiliary members with a City Proclamation for Safe Boating Week, May 20-26. The proclamation is in con- junction with May’s National Safe Boating Month. Several Coast Guard mem- bers, including Master Chief Tim Tregoning and Chief Ben Snider, attended the presenta- tion at city hall. The U.S. Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, City of Florence, Port of Siuslaw and Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue, who are safe boating partners, wish to help ensure the public has a safe, secure and enjoyable recreational boating experience this season. While enjoying the Siuslaw River, Pacific Ocean, local lakes and other nearby recre- ational waterways, boaters (including the paddle craft community) are encouraged to always wear the appropriate life jacket and understand nav- igation rules. U.S. Coast Guard statistics show that drowning is the reported cause of death in more than 75 percent of recreational boating fatalities. A large majority of those who drowned were not wearing life jackets.

USCG Master Chief Tregoning said, “Time and time again, the wearing of life jackets proves to significantly increase chance of survival and detection when the unthinkable happens. With the many vari- ables that can affect the out- come of a voyage, life jackets are cheap insurance to help Mariners return to their loved ones after a day on the water.” In the State of Oregon, all boaters who operate a motor- boat over 10 horsepower are required to take an approved boating safety course and carry a Boater Education card onboard. A variety of paddling education courses are also available in Lane County. To be a responsible boater, boating etiquette and the rules of the water should always be followed. To help the public embrace safe boating, the Coast Guard Auxiliary performs free vessel safety checks year ’round and offers Safe Boating courses over the summer. Local busi- nesses can also become safe boating partners by displaying safe boating literature provided by the auxiliary.
