            Hi my name is Caleb Canterbury. Today I am going to talk about teaching at the lake. Our group came up with several different projects to help us teach about the lake: including poster, power point, and booklets. I decided to used publisher to make a newsletter. Newsletters can be very helpful in schools and help keep parents aware of things going on in the school. In my news I covered swimming, diving, boater safety and alcohol at the lake. Boating before getting under way! First check your boat for all required safety equipment. Next consider the size of your boat, the number of passengers and the amount of extra equipment that will be on board. Don’t overload the boat. If you will be in a power boat check your electrical system and fuel system for gas. Follow the manufactures suggestions before starting up the engine. Wear your life jacket don’t just carry one on board. You should work to increase your safety not increase your risk.  Make sure you check the weather forecast beforehand. You do not want to get caught in a storm. If you keep these few things in mind when boating you will not only have a better time you will have a safer time. Alcohol on the lake, it is a fact alcohol and water don’t mix. Unfortunately many people ignore this. Each year about 300 people died due to alcohol related drowning. Just one beer can impair your balance, vision, judgment, and reaction time. This can be deadly if operating and boat or even just swimming. So next time you head to the lake leave the alcohol behind. If you would like to read more on this topic go to my website www.student.lhup.edu/ccanterb/ and clink on newsletter.

Thank you
