COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 2019 | 3B Fundraising ODFW Recreation Report from B1 oville. “I’m looking forward to getting really good expe- rience,” said Justin about his goals for the Kyle Lar- son Showcase. “We have a chance to win. I know there’s a lot of people with up to ten grand in just the motor, but it’s very hard to beat some of the guys up there … so I’m just go- ing there for the experi- ence and to have fun.” While his goals are humble, Justin’s maturity and approach - especially within a dangerous sport that can be financially straining - is something his family believes could take him much further. “I don’t have liquid credit to where I can just go you can go here, you can go there. You’re go- ing to have to let your talents and abilities carry you,” said Ellertson of the realities of racing. “And that’s not just in the race car, but he’s proving that in his actions right now by developing his work ethic, going out there and saying, ‘I’m going to go sacrifice hours of my time and the money that I earn, I’m going to go chase my dreams with it.’” There are roughly two and a half weeks until the Kyle Larson Showcase, meaning it’s a relatively tight window for the boys to reach their fundrais- ing goals. However, there seems to be much more time - a lifetime perhaps - in Justin Lemon’s racing future and, particularly, his special connection with Cameron Grant.

In 2014, the Coast Guard counted 4,064 accidents that involved 610 deaths, 2,678 injuries and approximately $39 million dollars of damage to property as a result of recreational boating accidents Be a responsible boater and follow these simple tips to help keep yourself, your passengers and fellow boaters safe on the water: ALWAYS WEAR A LIFE JACKET. 84% of all victims in fatal boating accidents were not wearing life jackets. STAY SOBER ON THE WATER. 21% of all boating fatalities resulted from some involvement with alcohol. TAKE A BOATING SAFETY COURSE. 77% of all boating fatalities occurred on boats where the operator had not finished a safety course. The National Safe Boating Council also suggests having a Vessel Safety Check (VSC) and installing carbon monoxide detectors on your boat to enhance safety.
