Most boat accidents
called preventable
Corps sponsoring safety course
By JOHN CHURCHILL
Hundreds of boating accidents
occur each year on the approximately
450 lakes and reservoirs managed by
the Army Corps of Engineers across
the nation.
By and large, local Corps officials
say, many of those accidents are pre-
ventable.
Which is why, on Saturday, July
10, and on the following Saturday,
July 17, the Cooper Lake Corps
office is sponsoring a boating skills
and seamanship course.
According to Cooper Lake Park
Manager Marilyn Jones, the two-day
course will be administered by mem-
bers of the Coast Guard Auxiliary
Flotilla 5-12.
“Basically, it is a boating skills and
seamanship course that teaches
boaters a little bit of everything,” she
explained.
“Most importantly,” Corps employ-
ee Scott Livingston added, “it will
teach people how to effectively han-
dle and pilot a boat. It will cover how
to judge the weather, how to carry a
boat in a trailer, and even how to tie a
few basic knots. It’ll go over just
about everything, really.”
Although the course spans two
separate weekends, he clarified, it is
still only one course. “That’s real
important,” he said. “There’s one
class on the 10th, and one on the
17th, but both are parts of the same
course.”
Jones said that even though such a
course is not required for boaters to
hit the lakes in their crafts, it is highly
recommended by the Corps of Engi-
neers.
“No, it is not required, but we defi-
nitely recommend that they get some
form of training,” she said. “I think it
would be nice if it was required,
though.”
