The 100-foot law prohibits people from operat- ing ALL vessels, including personal watercraft (i.e. PWC, jet ski), at a speed greater than idle speed with- in 100 feet of any vessel that is moored, anchored or adrift outside normal traffic chan- nels, or within 100 feet of any dock, wharf, pier, piling, bridge structure, person in the water or shoreline adja- cent to a full-time or part- time residence, public park, public beach, public swim- ming area, marina, restau- rant or other public use area. •Wear your life jacket. Nine out of ten drowning vic- tims did not. Children under the age of ten are required by law to wear a life jacket while onboard a moving boat (un- less child is in a fully enclosed cabin). •Do not drink and operate a boat. Half of all boating fa- talities involve alcohol. Alco- hol can affect people much more rapidly on the water - the boat’s movement, vibra- tion, noise and glare, and the sun and wind create a so- called boater’s hypnosis. Make sure a designated oper- ator refrains from drinking alcohol so they can safely op- erate the boat. •Use navigation lights at ALL times on the water at night, whether the boat is moving or anchored.

Do I Qualify tobe a Foster Parent?

Do I have to be married, rich or have any particular religion to qualify as a foster parent? These are some of the common questions asked by those individuals interested in fostering. The answer is “No”. You do not have to be married, you must be able to support your own family, but you certainly do not have to be rich, nor have a particular religious belief to foster. If you are one of the individuals wanting answers to your question, please call Malva Watson 478-275- 6626 or Tina McAfee at 478-274-7755. Open your hearts to a child in need of a home and a little happiness.
