TOP 10 WAYS TO STAY SAFE THIS SUMMER Jamie Trump

on’t have a bummer summer. The Granite Bay View offers these 10 summer safety reminders that’ll keep you protected and ensure a season of fun in the sun.

D

■ 1 WATER SAFETY One of the most popular activities during a Granite Bay summer is swimming, be it in a pool, at the lake or down at the river. But if you don’t know what you’re doing, it can also be one of the most dangerous. Learning to swim and staying safe around the water is very important. And locals don’t have to travel far to do so. Sea Otter Swim Lessons in Loomis offers classes year round for children as young as 4 months old to adults up to 90. (www.seaotterswim.com) The Placer Aquatics Club is another way to go. Lessons feature low instructor-to-child ratios ranging from parent-tot style lessons to competitive stroke instruction at Granite Bay High School. (www.placeraquaticsclub.org)

Before you know how to swim, remember to wear a lifejacket or floating device whenever you’re around water.

nately, it seems every year there’s an accident. One common factor in these incidents, according to the State Parks Department, is alcohol. Alcohol coupled with wind, boat noise, vibration, wave action, sun and glare, has a tremendous adverse influence on judgment and response time. The California Department of Boating and Waterways (www.dbw.ca.gov) offers boat safety classes in good seamanship and reviews the recommended equipment small boats should have.

using a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher.

■ 3 SUN SAFETY

■ 5 MOSQUITOES/BUG SAFETY

The weather is warm and outside activities are abundant, but whether it’s hiking, picnicking or gardening, remember to protect yourself from the sun. According to Kelley Moreno, CEO of Spwipes, a Loomis-based company that makes sun protection wipes,

melanoma is the fastest growing cancer in the United States that can be prevented. (www.spwipes.com) To protect yourself from the sun’s harmful rays, she recommends staying in the shade whenever possible, wearing UV protective glasses and a hat with a 3-inch brim and

■ 4 HEAT SAFETY Dehydration and exhaustion are other common consequences of getting too much sun. The American Red Cross reminds those heading outdoors to pack extra water, wear lightweight, lightcolored clothing, bring an umbrella or hat to shade the sun and avoid strenuous activities, especially during the hottest part of the day. If it’s necessary, demanding work should be done during the coolest part of the day, usually between 4 and 7 a.m.

Protecting yourself from bugs and the diseases they carry is another must-do. Placer County’s Health and Human Services recommends staying inside at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most prevalent. If that’s not an option, use a bug repellent with DEET, wear long sleeve shirts and pants when outdoors and stay away from any standing water where bugs and mosquitoes breed.

abundance of hiking and camping paradises this time of year, but you must to be smart to stay safe when exploring. The American Red Cross says it’s always safer to hike or camp with at least one other person. That way, if someone gets hurt, the other person can go for help. An itinerary should also always be left with a responsible person back home. A summer hiking/camping checklist should include a compass, first-aid kit, map of the area, pocketknife and whistle used to scare off any wild animals.

■ 8 FIRE SAFETY Fire safety is another hot topic this time of year. When outdoors, always know the burning regulations before making a campfire. At home, the South Placer Fire District reminds residents to protect their properties by maintaining 100 feet of defensible space around the home. If a fire is to break out nearby, this space will prevent it from spreading to a structure.

■ 6 FOOD SAFETY

■ 9 CAR SAFETY

Summer is the time for picnics, barbecues and cookouts. Burgers, potato salad and sandwiches are common treats, but they must be stored properly. Food should not be left out in the heat for more than an hour on 90-degree and above days and anything with mayonnaise should never be left in the sun for too long. Also, make sure all guests wash their hands before eating.

It’s hot outside, but don’t be confused – a car does not make for a cool place to stay

■ 7 HIKING/CAMPING SAFETY Folsom Lake, the American River and the foothills offer an

out of the sun. Children and pets should never be left in a car for long. According to the Roseville Dog Owners’ Group, even on a mild day – 75 to 80 degrees – the temperature inside a car can quickly rise up to 130 degrees. This can cause heat stroke and even death in humans and their canine friends.

■ 10 VACATION SAFETY Taking a family trip this summer? While this might make for a carefree break, don’t be careless. KidSource online reminds parents of small children to check out the place they’re staying to ensure it’s kid-friendly. Parents should pay attention to windows and doors and check for proper hand and guardrails along stairways and decks. Also, inspect patios, decks and porches for exposed nails and other dangerous items. And always look for household cleaners and other potentially dangerous chemicals in an unlocked cabinet or closet.

SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT ne of the first things I learned in the Marine Corps was the saying, “Safety is paramount.” I didn't quite understood what that meant at the time but as we moved on in boot camp, I quickly learned. Recent fires locally and throughout California have left the area blanketed with smoke as of late – a grim

BY

TOBY LEWIS reminder of how important it is to be extra careful when it comes to fire safety. For this reason, that old saying comes to mind when thinking about the way things are and that is why we here at the Rocklin View chose safety as the No. 1 theme for this month. Safety is indeed paramount when it comes to protecting yourself, your family and your community. Rocklin Fire Chief Bill Mikesell said the current fire conditions are more typical to what they are like after at hot dry summer. For that reason, people need to take extra precautions to protect our environment

and our town. Mikesell said the most common reason fires occur is because of negligent discard of cigarettes. People know this, yet more and more fires continue to occur along our roadways and in dry, grassy backyards around the city, usually attributed to discarded cigarettes. “We see more fires this time of year because of cigarettes than we do fireworks,” Mikesell said in an interview with The Placer Herald. “All in all, I wish common sense was more common.” It doesn’t take much in these dry conditions for a minor spark to quickly turn into a major fire. Mikesell, and we here at the Rocklin View, asks that people use common sense and act responsibly when it comes to fire safety. We all like breathing the fresh, clean air that our area affords and we have seen lately how quickly that clean air can be replaced with unhealthy smoke. The expression, “Safety is paramount,” not only means it is of the utmost importance to protect yourself, it also means that it is your responsibility to practice safety and protect others around you. Lets all do our part and together we can help keep Rocklin safe.

A DISASTER SUPPLIES KIT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE STORY BY

Teresa O’Hanlon

ith the recent flooding in Iowa and last summer’s catastrophic fire in South Lake Tahoe, anyone can imagine the importance of being prepared if asked to leave their home at a moment’s notice. Of course, imagining how to plan for an emergency and taking the time to do so are two different things. According to the American Red Cross, only about 7 percent of the population has assembled a disaster supply kit and talked about a family disaster plan in case of an emergency in their hometown. “I think there’s a whole host of things that could happen here in Rocklin,” says Mike Nottoli, Rocklin police crime prevention and volunteer coordinator. “We have had some large fires in the area which could cause evacuations. We have railroads that run

Inside this kit they’ve stored special need items like emergency contacts and copies of their insurance policies. There’s also an emergency wrench to shut off the gas, duct tape and plastic sheeting to repair broken windows.

The Van Wagner’s are also ready with a large supply of bottled waters in case a disaster taints their tap water. “If you’re in a situation where something does happen it’s nice to know that you have enough supplies,” says Nottoli. “You won’t have to worry about feeding your family or running out to the store to get batteries. If you have that on-hand at your home, that’s one less thing to worry about.”

It’s easy when you hear his voice. There is an exceptional connection, a lively spirit that won’t go unnoticed when Mikesell takes the lead. Starting his 36th year in the fire service, and serving as Rocklin’s Fire Chief since 2001, Mikesell has seen life through the eyes of a firefighter, husband, father and community member. He cherishes his family; his wife, Colleen, and their three adopted children, Hannah, Rebecca, and Joseph. “I feel blessed in so many ways to have a loving, supportive wife and mother of our children that have been entrusted to us by birth mothers that cared enough about those children to

allow us to be their parents.” He cherishes his community as his family. “Between the fire department, our church, the Rotary Club, the schools; Rocklin is just an absolutely wonderful place to raise a family.” And this fire chief and father knows a community with open

count the victories, and all he can focus on is keeping Rocklin families informed and safe. “Rocklin residents need to know the city of Rocklin is planning and preparing and exercising and training to be prepared to do the most good to the most people at the earliest possible time,” shares Mikesell. “We’ve prepared an emergency operations plan and we’ve exercised the plan. When we had 275 thousand cubic feet of natural gas escaping into a (Rocklin) neighborhood from a ruptured line, we activated the emergency operations center and utilized the emergency operations

plan.” Mikesell speaks slowly as if every word could save a life. “If we tell people to stay in their homes it’s because it would be more dangerous for them to be in an evacuation mode. If we tell them to evacuate it’s because we know the specific area of danger.” And Mikesell’s department is working diligently with other agencies to bring the city a valuable tool to help the public listen. Within the next year, he hopes to get Rocklin fully equipped with the reverse 911 system where residents will be notified via automated phone

messages with instructions on how to respond if an emergency arises in their neighborhood. Now deep in the heart of fire season, Mikesell has tips for Rocklin residents to keep their property safe from fire danger. With attention on recent housing developments that back up to green space, he says back fences of these properties are built with tubular steel and noncombustible fencing. Mikesell reminds homeowners to have a minimum of 30 feet of cleared vegetation surrounding their home as far as dry grass and combustibles. “That means weeding the grass that’s dying or dead,” cautions Mikesell. “If you have landscaped property that’s watered and very green it’s not as critical, but I’ll give you a term called ladder fuels. What happens is grasses will catch the brush will catch the trees will catch the house.” There is also the danger and devastation caused by people who throw their cigarette butts out vehicle windows. It’s illegal and a prime ignition source for wildfires. “Total devastation can occur in a community from one cigarette being tossed into a green space,” he warns. To deliver emergency help

more quickly and effectively, Mikesell asks Rocklin residents to make sure they fully understand the 911 system. Some cell phone systems send 911 callers to the CHP dispatch in Rancho Cordova during an emergency when they really need the fire department. Mikesell says residents should program their phones for Rocklin dispatchers. “916-632-4093,” says Mikesell. “I’ve put that on my speed dial button under the

number nine. It’s the seven digit phone number for 911 in Rocklin.” When residents do call for help, about 75 percent of Rocklin emergencies are medical in nature. With a pause, Mikesell catches his breath, because his next piece of information comes with much emotion. “Of all the devastation of all the tragedy that I’ve seen when the bells go off and you respond … I’ve had three individuals who survived and it was because I knew CPR and used it to literally bring them back from the dead.” Memories that quiet Mikesell for a moment, only to energize his quest to keep his city informed and educated. He wants residents to know they can make a powerful difference by learning and using cardiopulmonary resuscitation. “And I’ll tell you to those three people it made a huge difference,” he shares. “I’m just so full of joy because literally I’ve been called to a profession that I’ve been so humbled by.” Words from a friend, father, and fire chief who has lived many chapters, leads with courage and kindness, and asks his community to listen when public safety speaks.

Incorrectly restraining your little one can be just as dangerous as not having your child in a car seat at all. South Placer County CHP Spokesperson, Kelly Baraga, a certified car seat technician, spent 40 hours in the classroom to learn the ins and outs of children’s restraint systems. “You don’t want the car seat to slide from side to side, front to back, more than an inch,” says Baraga. “The harness should be right at the child’s

WHAT

WAS ONCE MERELY DANGEROUS IS NOW ILLEGAL STORY BY

CELL

PHONE LAW KICKS IN THIS MONTH

Eileen Wilson

efore July 1 talking on a cell phone while driving a car though was considered by many as dangerous, is now illegal. Enter new law, Senate Bill No. 33, which took effect a few days ago. The new law states it is illegal for any person to use a hand-held phone while driving a motor vehicle, and for people 18 year old and under, it’s against the law to use any type of phone or electronic device, hands-free or otherwise, while driving. Violating the law will result in a $20 fine for the first offense, and $50 for each subsequent offense, with possible exceptions for drivers who use a cell phone in an emergency situation.

B

■ Let the driver beware According to Kelly Baraga, California Highway Patrol officer in the Auburn area, the new law has been well publicized. “We have been educating people on this law for the last year and a half. We will be citing people July 1,” she said. Baraga saw plenty of young drivers leaving Granite Bay High School talking on the phone before school let out last month. “There’s still a lot of distraction associated with cell phone use, even hands-free,” she said.“But with hands-free, you will at least see drivers using both hands on the wheel, not fumbling for a dropped phone.” The bottom line is, if the highway patrol sees someone talking on a hand-held device, whether they are young or old, the driver can expect to be pulled over and ticketed. ■ The numbers don’t lie According to a study in Perth, Australia in 2006, as reported by the Insurance Institute for High-way Safety, the crash risk is four times greater when a driver is using

either a hand-held or handsfree cell phone. And the number of teen crashes involving cell phones was disproportionately higher than those of adults. Dick Tufts, a tow truck driver in El Dorado County, sees his share of auto accidents. Unfortunately between eight to 10 a week. He shakes his head in dismay while sharing what he sees on the highway. “I see people text mes-

saging while driving down the road, or reading while driving, women putting on makeup,” he said. Distractions, he complains, are the biggest cause of accidents. Tufts, who has been using a hands-free device for about two years, thinks enforcement of the new law is key. “Enforcement is going to be tough. I personally think the penalties should be really excessive,” he said. He points out the seatbelt law, which has been on the books for several years, carries an expensive penalty, yet he still sees drivers and passengers who don’t buckle up. ■ Giving up hand-held cell phones will take some getting use to for some Area residents have had over a year to prepare for the new law. Granite Bay resident, Vanda Borders is ready. “ I started using a blue tooth ear piece six to nine months ago,” she said. As far as the kids, our family rule has been no electronics while driving. We think it is safer that way for everyone.” ■ Another frequent

cause of accidents are worn or improperly inflated tires. Phil Burch, Assistant Manager for America’s Tires on North Sunrise Boulevard in Roseville, explains that car owners should have their tires checked on a regular basis. “Tires aid in breaking, so if you have a worn tire, it takes you longer to break,” he explains. Proper traction, which diminishes as a tire becomes worn, is important when making lane changes and moving in and out of traffic safely. “Air inflation is important too,” he said, describing how heat may build in an improperly inflated tire and cause a blow out, not to mention, more wear on the tire. Burch recommends checking air pressure monthly, as well as examining each tire for signs of wear, nails, or other damaging objects. There are many ways to be safe on the road, and they take little effort. “If people just used their heads, that would be better than any law,” Tufts said. “One instant of inattention can change your life or somebody else’s, forever – I’ve seen it happen.”

KEEP YOUR DOG SAFE DURING SUMMER HEAT any of us enjoy the freedom offered a dog by a romp around the dog park. There are, however, many risks at dog parks. Every dog owner should take precautions to protect their dog from harm. Your dog’s vaccinations should be curPAW rent. PRINTS Heavy play with dogs of BY all sizes can KAREN result in sore HANSON muscles,

M

strains, sprains and lacerations. A first aid kit designed especially for your dog may provide immediate comfort until medical aid is available. If you sense that one of the dogs present at the park is acting aggressively toward your dog, you need to discuss the

situation with the other dog’s owner or opt to leave the park for the day. Summers are hot here and overheating is common while dogs are actively involved in play. Bring your own fresh water supply and require occasional time outs for drinking. If you sense that your dog is tired, take him home. Following a few precautions can help to ensure a summer of fun for you and your canine companion. See you at the park! – Dr. Karen Hanson is a veterinarian and partner at both Granite Bay and Johnson Ranch veterinary clinics. She can be reached at [email protected].

Adopt a new love Mimi (ID # 2656008) Chihuahua/Jack Russell, 6 yrs. Mimi is a shy and timid little cutie that needs time to warm up. She needs plenty of love and attention. Socialization is very important to this sweet girl. Once comfortable in her surroundings, Mimi enjoys being with people. This sweet little lady loves her little baby blanket and likes to cuddle up in it. She would make a wonderful lap dog and is looking for pet parents who will be loving and gentle, spending lots of time with her. Because of her shyness, she would do best with older children and in a quiet home. This little girl surely deserves her very own home and family.

Annie Oakley (ID # 4696156) DSH, 3 yrs. Found as a stray by a Good Samaritan, Annie is so loving and gentle that she slept curled up with that Good Samaritan’s granddaughter every night during her short stay. Now Annie waits at the Placer SPCA, wishing for a new, caring owner she can snuggle up with forever. Annie may be a pint sized cat, but she has a big, big heart. Affectionate, mild-mannered Annie loves people, and is happiest when she’s cuddled up in your lap, encircled with your arms. Annie is very social; she loves people and truly enjoys your attention. Annie hopes to find a loving home with any age children, no dogs, another cat, and plenty of lap time to spare. To add these adorable pets to your family, visit the Placer SPCA at 150 Corpora-tion Yard Road in Roseville. Hours are Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Wednesday and Thursday 2-7 p.m. The Placer SPCA is closed on Mondays and all major holidays. Call 782-7722 for information.
