I grew up around boats. If asked I would have responded I'm in the upper 95% of safe boaters. I was 100% sure my boat would pass a safety inspection.I was dead wrong. I have habits that not only were wrong but violated law. My boat, Discovery would have failed a safety inspection.Giving up a Saturday to go through the Idaho Boater Safety Course was a decision I made not because of a legal requirement, in fact its not required in Idaho, but one I did to first learn more about being a better boater, but second as a prep for my USCG 6-Pack license. The course was facilitated by the Canyon County Marine Patrol and by far one of the best experiences I have had as I have been working towards my license.Embarking on the waters of Idaho demands a profound understanding of boater safety. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into critical components of USCG boater safety, covering navigation aids, boater safety laws, lights on vessels, types and statistics of boating accidents, and an exploration of cold water immersions.#ScubaSafety #DiveSmart #UnderwaterAdventures #ScubaWatersafety #ExploreBeneathTheSurface #DiveResponsibly #MarineSafety #DiverEducation #DiveIntoSafety #ScubaSkills #OceanAwareness #SafeScubaDiving #DiveSmartly #DeepBlueSafety #ScubaLife #DiveResponsibly #ExploreTheDeepSafely #SafeDivingJourney #UnderwaterSafetyTips #MarineConservation #ScubaPreparedness #DiveWithCare #ScubaAdventureSafety Hosted on Acast.

The small, flat-bottomed boats used for duck hunting are easy to capsize or swamp. We talk with the boating law administrator from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources about staying safe while waterfowl hunting.

We're doing something a little different in this episode of the podcast. Part story, part interview, I'm going to be telling you about my very fun, weird and muddy experience at Allegheny Islands State Park. In 2021, I ran a mile at all (then) 121 Pennsylvania state parks in 224 days. While there were plenty of memorable experiences, nothing was quite like my "run" on the Allegheny Islands. That's because the islands have no land access and are completely undeveloped.On this episode, I speak with my good friend Adam Bricker - who joined me for 25 park runs during my so-called 121 In '21 Challenge. I talk about what it was like "running" on a muddy beach in the Allegheny River, while Adam tells us about the adventure from his perspective. Be sure to visit my website to get to notified about upcoming episodes.

Henssler 15From the Ingles studio welcome to the Cherokee tribune ledger podcast. Today is Tuesday May 30th, and happy 48th birthday to singer Ceelo Green***CEELO***  I'm Brian Giffin and here are some top stories Cherokee is talking aboutpresented by Credit Union of Georgia  Cherokee court system to get $1.3 million for AV upgradesArmy Corps of Engineers asks people headed to lakes and rivers to practice water safetyand Hyundai, LG Energy to build $4.3B EV battery plant in GeorgiaPlus Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets is here to talk about cutting back on sugar, and Gary Crawford of the USDA offers some better news about food prices.We'll have all this and more on the Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast.--------------CU of GA--------------1.  AVCherokee County's court system has been awarded $1.3 million in federal funding from the American Rescue Plan Act. The Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit, which exclusively serves Cherokee County, will receive the funds primarily for audio-visual equipment upgrades. Out of the total amount, $1.2 million will be used to upgrade the audio-visual equipment in all courtrooms, while the remaining funds will cover the expenses of senior judges, court reporters, and bailiffs associated with the circuit. The Blue Ridge circuit is one of 21 circuits in the state that requested A/V equipment upgrades to address case backlogs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The upgrades are expected to improve efficiency and reduce technical delays in court proceedings. Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Michael P. Boggs expressed pride in the progress made by judges and court personnel in implementing their grant-funded case backlog plans. Get more on this story at tribuneledgernews.com2. ArmyThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is emphasizing the importance of water safety for individuals and families visiting lakes and rivers this summer. They provide essential tips to prevent accidents and save lives. It is crucial to be prepared for unexpected situations, as accidents can happen quickly. Wearing a life jacket significantly increases the chances of survival in case of an unexpected fall into the water. Understanding the difference between swimming in open water and a pool is vital, and it's never too late to improve swimming abilities. Alcohol and water are a dangerous combination that can lead to disorientation and drowning. Boater's hypnosis, caused by environmental factors, can impair reaction time. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a risk even on open motorboats, so proper precautions should be taken. Constant supervision of children near water is crucial, and they should always wear properly fitted life jackets. Water temperature can be significantly colder than air temperature, so wearing a life jacket is essential for survival.  3. HyundaiHyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution are partnering to construct a $4.3 billion electric vehicle (EV) battery plant here in Georgia. The plant will be adjacent to the Hyundai EV "Metaplant" currently under construction. This project is anticipated to create 3,000 jobs, constituting a significant portion of the $5.5 billion investment in the Metaplant project announced by Hyundai. U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff played a role in facilitating the deal through discussions with executives from both companies, and he credited tax incentives provided by the Inflation Reduction Act for making the project possible. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp expressed his satisfaction with Georgia's progress toward becoming the EV capital of the nation. The new EV battery plant is projected to commence operations by the end of 2025.4. MenstrualCherokee Women's Health Specialists is conducting a donation drive for menstrual products to support MUST Ministries. The ongoing drive has already collected over 300 boxes of menstrual hygiene products with the help of patients and staff. Donations can be made in person or through an Amazon wish list. Dr. James Haley, an OB/GYN at Cherokee Women's Health, expressed gratitude for the generosity of patients and the community. The initiative aims to address period poverty, a situation where individuals lack access to affordable menstrual hygiene products, which can negatively impact mental, physical, and social well-being. The donated products will benefit various individuals, including seniors, young girls, and clients of MUST Ministries. Cherokee Women's Health Specialists has locations in Canton and Woodstock.  5. Concert SeriesGrammy-winning artist Rick Springfield is set to perform his popular hits, including "Jesse's Girl," at the Northside Hospital-Cherokee Amphitheater in downtown Woodstock. This performance is part of Woodstock's free Summer Concert Series. The concert will take place on June 10 at 7:30 p.m. Other featured acts include Uptown Funk (a Bruno Mars tribute band) on July 8, Completely Unchained (a Van Halen tribute band) on August 12, and Drivin N Cryin' on September 9.
