Lorraine Mention and Gwen Fisher were also in the water and tried to help membeisof the family .. stay afloat and „get out of'. the current as Draper came around, trying to . pick them up. "How we never lost someone is just incredi- ble," he said. "I don't. kno. w how much anyone alone in the water could. have do.ne,. without the machine."" Draper, who works: at. the Port Albert General Store, has beenthe talk of the store but doesn't say much, himself; about what. happened. . David, • and Ina Mephaln,. Draper's employers, said he is quiet 'about' any of " his accorp plishments. "It was just instinct," Draper said. current is strong. Silt build s up at the rnouth as it shafts from side to side and creates banks of sand. "Tho sand is extremely loose," Petrie said. When someone Walks on it, it can give way. and dump them in the current that takes them. into the lake where the water suddenly becomes deep Glen Gardiner,, another Port. Albert resident, said there is no gradually deep- ening in the water, People ' can b.estanding in ankle. deep water, take three steps and fall in over their .. heads.' . . 'Coupled with waves comingto shore, • if .some- one-gets ome-one•gets caught in the cur- rent, whether from swim- ming in the river or .failing. in, the waves can trap peo- ple, keeping them in the current., Last week, a family of four were pulled from that current by a Port Albert resident, Bill Draper, on a personal watercraft. Jack Bye, another Port Albert. resident, pulled a young child out of the river with a "noodle," a long 'tube of foam .• used in pools and at the beach. During the past 10 years, at least threepeople have lost their lives in the river including a fisher- man one ,spring, when the current- can be at its strongest and a Port Albert father who drowned sav- ing his children. A local ratepayers' association has taken steps of its own to try prevent- ing similar incidents but some are getting frustrat- ed. They purchased signs warning of the dangerous undertow and mounted life preservers near the river should someone get in trouble. ' Brit those signs and pre: server's have since been burned as firewood. • . a Eetrie said they' have • also. . built a "chime" from ' iron bars that are built into the ground and can be rung -if someone gets in trouble. There are no lifeguards:' It's the local people who have trained themselves to respond when they hear the alarm. However, Bye said a lot of people don't realize what it's for and younger ones ring it for fun. Bye's not sure what else they can • do to help. He said it's up to parents, visiting the beach and river, to keep a closer eye on their children. Butresidents say new- comers to Port Albert don't know about the river current and it.appears safe. Petrie isn't sure either if there is anything else they can do to keep people out of trouble. • "It'll probably go on as longas the river is there," he said. • DCLA honored for outstanding, innovative work Wingham & District Community Living Association is the proud recipient of The Centre for Management of Community Services 1997 Innovation Award. ,The Center for Management of. by rat Liviingston Two' local teenagers are planning a day camp for youngsters aged 5 to 10 between Aug. 5 and. 8.
