‘Sparkle on the Siltcoos’ July 6
Darlings
Marina
in
Dunes City will host the
third annual “Sparkle on the
Siltcoos,” a professional
fireworks show, on Satur-
day, July 6, at 10 p.m. on the
north shore of Siltcoos Lake.
This community event, a
celebration of our nation’s
independence, will have
a barbecue, live band and
kid-and-family-friendly ac-
tivities.
Siltcoos Lake is a great
place for viewing fireworks
because of its wide-open
expanse. However, there is
limited lake access so au-
diences should find ways
to access the viewing area.
Parking at Darlings will be
limited
to over-
n i g ht
guests,
but the
commu-
nity is
invited
to bring
chairs
and walk
in.
After noon on Saturday,
the docks will be closed so
boats should be launched
from the Lane County Boat
Ramp in Westlake. Volun-
teers will be on the lake to
ensure that boaters stay at a
safe distance.
Sponsors of the event in-
clude Zolezzi Insurance,
Torex ATV Rentals, Wacoka
Farm and Rick’s Quality Im-
port Service.

Summer Crime Prevention Tips
Summer brings warmer
weather, longer days and,
unfortunately, an increase
in burglaries. People can
exercise renewed diligence
to reduce or eliminate the
occurrence of these crimes.
• Keep vehicles locked
with the windows up at all
times when parked at your
home. Remove all valu-
ables including purses, cell
phones, MP3 players, GPS
systems, laptop computers,
DVD players, gym bags,
briefcases, etc.
• Avoid home improve-
ment scams. Beware of
anyone offering to perform
an unscheduled home re-
pair or asking to gain en-
try into your home. Ask
for identification, contact
the company they say they
work for to verify employ-

ment and ask for authoriza-
tion for them to be at your
property. Never agree to
pay for home improvement
services until the work has
been completed. Don’t sign
home improvement con-
tracts without reading the
entire contract carefully
and discussing anything
that doesn’t seem clear with
the company and trusted
family members.
• Keep doors closed
and locked. This includes
garages, sheds and patio
doors. Burglaries from
open garages, sheds and
residences are more prev-
alent in summer months
and often occur while the
homeowner is outside in
the backyard.
• Unattended bicycles
should always be locked to

something sturdy. Remem-
ber when you stop to rest,
eat or use restroom facili-
ties, an unlocked and unat-
tended bike is an invitation
to theft.
• Vacation plans? Have a
trusted neighbor or friend
pick up your mail and news-
papers. Set inside lights on a
timer. Set your home alarm.
Use a home security camera
so you can check in while
you are away. Have a neigh-
bor keep an eye on your
house and make sure to
leave a contact phone num-
ber for them to reach you in
case of an emergency.
Take some simple steps to
reduce your risk of becom-
ing a victim of crime.
