Trinity River Safety

Another idea from THE PEOPLE.  These people should be involved in planning the Trinity River Vision.  Sounds like they need some help.

Read the letter in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

River safety

The next dime spent toward developing the Trinity River must include safety equipment to assist the rescue of people drawn to the river. State law requires a public pool to have a life preserver, rescue pole and phone; all inexpensive safety equipment, compared to a human life.

"Trinity Guardians" can be anyone who can throw a life preserver or extend a pole to save a drowning person. Reach out to fraternities, sororities, scouts, environmentalists and rescue groups. Install several small but strategically placed safety stations, sponsored by local businesses that donate the needed equipment. Float purple frogs in the water; just do something besides studying the issue.

I am ready to donate so that no other child will lose a parent and no other parent will lose a child.
