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. Operator inatten-
tion, improper lookout, opera-
tor inexperience, excessive
speed and alcohol use rank as

other primary contributing fac-
tors in accidents.
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.
