SIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 2021 | 3B Labor Day 2021 High Visibility DUII Enforcement For the upcoming Labor Day weekend (Friday, Sep- tember 3rd through Mon- day, September 6th), the Florence Police Depart- ment will be conducting extra DUII Enforcement patrols. The Florence Police Department has received additional DUII enforce- ment grant funds to help seek out impaired drivers and to deter people from driving while they are im- paired. The Florence Police Department, along with Law Enforcement agen- cies throughout Oregon and the rest of the United States are continually mak- ing efforts to get impaired drivers off the road. These funds are made available to the City from Oregon Impact, who administers DUII grant funding in Or- egon. For more information, contact the Florence Police Department at (541) 997- 3515 LITTLE from page 1B came loose. Surgery and another year lost. Then it happened again. But Cam McCormick, of the Oregon Ducks, stayed diligent and dedicated to his rehabilitation. He will be suited up to play after three long years of effort. The movie “Brian’s Song” is a story about two pro- fessional football players supporting one another. When Gale Sayers, a leg- end Chicago Bears running back, injures his knee, it is his teammate Brian Picco- lo who encourages him to rehab even though he may lose his starting position when Gale gets healthy. The original movie is much better than the remake, in my opinion. If you were in my Health class you might remember seeing the movie during our unit on non-commu- nicable diseases. Yes, the knee injury has nothing to do with the lesson plan, but if you watch it, you might discover the fighting spirit of an athlete in a time of unforeseeable tragedy. I am well beyond my playing days, but I have injured myself by tripping and falling. As a result, I had rotator cuff surgery. If I added together all the days I rehabilitated and treated my athlete days’ injuries, it would fall short of the five to six months needed to get back my ROM (range of motion) and strength. Even if I dedicate my ef- forts, I was informed my tear was too wide to repair completely, so I will not be getting back to where I was. The moral of my story might be youth rehabilita- tion is often 100% return, but us older individuals better watch where we step. I did discover during my visits to the Slocum Center a new and more descriptive Pain Scale I will share in a future article. Meanwhile, be careful out there. will also present commer- cial bay crab logbook re- quirements for the 2021 season and proposed for permanent rule to the Or- egon Fish and Wildlife Commission.

Even when a trained lifeguard is present, each child should also be constantly supervised by a designated adult without distractions such as books or phones. • Life jackets: A properly fitted, US Coast Guard-ap- proved life jacket should al- ways be worn when in, on, or near natural bodies of water, such as lakes or riv- ers. Those who lack strong swim skills should also wear life jackets when at a pool or water park. Inflatable “floaties” and rings are toys, and should never be a substitute for an approved life jacket. • Be prepared: Parents and caregivers should con- sider CPR training to help keep children safe around water or other dangerous instances. • Barriers: Homes with in-ground or above-ground pools or ponds of any size should install a four-sided fence with secure closures. Door and pool alarms may also help to alert adults if a child comes too close to un- supervised water. Hoffman suggests emp- tying above ground pools, including small plastic wading pools, when not in use, as well as removing pool ladders. These steps create additional barriers that will further prevent unintentional access to wa- ter.
