Studentstake the plunge By Brenda Burke ,T -A Reporter- GRAND BEND - Put your hand' in a bucket of ice-cold water. How long can you keep it there'' In 'an effort to demonstrate how the body quickly loseS heat through hypothermia. Kristi V.InDongen,, an education technician with the Aus- able Bayfield Conservation Author- ity. made this experiment part of her flood safety presentation to Grand Bend Public School students on March 5. Using slides and a water safety video made by the Toronto Police Force. VanDongen got her'message across. She explained prevention, monitoring and protection roles the ABCA plays in flood situations. "There's all kinds of flooding. even around Grand Bend." she said. making note of recent flood- ing in the Port Franks area. "Floods are natural, -but nature has a few ways to control it." She demonstrated how trees and grass work like a sponge to soak up excess water and release it slowly, in a similar manner, to dams and reservoirs. Clearing too much.land, she added. contributes to flooding. "Why do we get floods in the spring time?" she asked the group. "All this water is around and it can't get ,away. fast enough." she explained. statiht melting ice and snow. along with the addition of rainfall. contributes to the problem. Students learned about the danger of fast, cold currents full of debris. A river picks up speed when snow melts, explained Officer Angus in the video. "What would you do if you fell into fast-moving water?" the video asked. Students' suggestions of saving themselves, keeping their heads above water and trying to reach shore, fell by the wayside as Van Dongen listed the two best options - remaining calm and calling for help. Holding a plastic spoon untie( a stream of tap water, Officer Angus showed how a water current traps• objects. This was demonstrated fur- ther when he threw a weighted ob- ject into a river to depict how it is drawn M the current. "Another dangerous time is when ice is getting thin," he continued" "When children drown accidentally, in a. river. it's usually one they know." He advised children not • to- .u - tempt to rescue someone trapped in water but to instead seek help from an adult. As dor hypothermia, VanDongen explained it residts when the body loses heat, taster than it ian,produre if. leading to wcaknrs-.. ' "that's why the cold water this. time of year is so.iIupllrtant -10 Nay away .:door,." she said. "You would 'probably have about 15 minutes he••' fore . your body couldn't do any - thing." • STEPHEN TOWNSHIP - Charg- • es have been laid following an acci- dent that occurred on Mardi 15 at approximateIy9:30 p.m. on Huron County Road #4 at Huron County Road #21.
