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.

Department at (541) 997-

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,

sons are much less likely to
drown than those who have
not.
“Not all lessons are cre-
ated equal,” says Hoffman.
“Parents may need to try
several before finding the
right fit for their child.”
• Supervision: When
young children are near
water – whether it is a pool,
river or even a bathtub –
a capable, attentive adult
should be present and with-
in arm’s reach. 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.
