County death review team warns<br />

water, children can be deadly mix<br />

With childhood drowning<br />

as a leading cause of death<br />

among children ages 1 to<br />

14, the Shasta County Child<br />

Death Review Team (CDRT)<br />

would like to remind parents<br />

and caregivers that while<br />

swimming and boating provide<br />

hours of enjoyment and<br />

exercise for children…water<br />

and children can be a deadly<br />

mix.<br />

A drowning can occur in<br />

a variety of circumstances<br />

— during water recreational<br />

activities (such as swimming<br />

and boating) or when a young<br />

child is left unsupervised in<br />

the bathtub or near a pool or<br />

hot tub.<br />

Drowning, which can<br />

happen in as little as one inch<br />

of water, is usually quick and<br />

silent. A child will lose con-<br />

Simpson University business<br />

students scored in the<br />

75th percentile on the Educational<br />

Testing Service (ETS)<br />

field exam which is used<br />

across the nation by public<br />

and private higher education<br />

institutions.<br />

Graduating seniors in the<br />

business department, which<br />

includes degrees in business<br />

administration, management<br />

information systems and<br />

accounting, were given the<br />

assessment test in spring.<br />

The test assesses a student's<br />

knowledge of management,<br />

managerial accounting,<br />

and marketing skills and is<br />

designed to measure instruction<br />

and curriculum quality.<br />

The results were compared<br />

with the almost 150,000<br />

graduating seniors from hundreds<br />

of institutions who took<br />

the test nation-wide. Simpson<br />

University was one of 65<br />

institutions in the Council for<br />

Christian Colleges and Universities<br />

(CCCU) that partici-<br />

sciousness two minutes after<br />

submersion, with irreversible<br />

brain damage occurring<br />

within four to six minutes.<br />

In 2004, 87 California children<br />

ages 14 and under died<br />

as a result of drowning and<br />

317 children in this age group<br />

were hospitalized for neardrowning.<br />

In Shasta County there<br />

was one drowning and three<br />

near-drowning incidences<br />

from 2002 to 2004.<br />

Some safety tips from the<br />

Drowning Prevention Foundation:<br />

• Closely watch young children<br />

playing in or near any<br />

body of water.<br />

• Never leave a child unattended<br />

near water while you<br />

answer the telephone or doorbell,<br />

attend to another child or<br />

Simpson students above<br />

75th percentile on ETS tests<br />

pated in the ETS exam.<br />

Simpson University Assistant<br />

Professor of Business,<br />

Gary Schmidt, said "These<br />

test results show that we<br />

have quality curriculum. To<br />

put things in perspective, a<br />

competitive CCCU business<br />

school on the west coast<br />

looks for an average score<br />

for all students to be greater<br />

than the 50 percent of the<br />

national average. Students at<br />

Simpson University have far<br />

exceeded that."<br />

work on household chores,<br />

even for a few seconds.<br />

• At large gatherings, designate<br />

an adult to watch children<br />

who are playing.<br />

• Fence your pool on all<br />

four sides with a barrier that<br />

is a least five feet high. Move<br />

lawn chairs, tables and other<br />

potential climbing aids away<br />

from the fence. Any gate or<br />

door leading to the pool area<br />

should be self-closing and<br />

self-latching, opening outward,<br />

with the latch placed<br />

on the poolside and out of<br />

reach.<br />

• Install panic alarms on<br />

all house doors and windows<br />

leading to the pool area,<br />

automatic sliding door closers<br />

and an automatic safety<br />

cover over the pool.<br />

• Drain off water that accumulates<br />

on top of pool cover.<br />

• Keep rescue aids, such<br />

as poles and life preservers,<br />

on both sides of the pool.<br />

• All non-swimmers should<br />

wear approved personal flotation<br />

devices (life vests)<br />

when they are near water<br />

and especially near rivers<br />

and streams.<br />

• Swimming lessons do<br />

not ensure safety. A child who<br />

falls into water unexpectedly<br />

may panic and forget his or<br />

her swimming skills.<br />

Adults who serve as caretakers<br />

for children who swim<br />

should know how to swim<br />

themselves and also be certified<br />

to perform cardiopulmonary<br />

resuscitation (CPR) in<br />

an emergency.<br />

Immediate CPR could prevent<br />

death or massive brain<br />

damage.<br />
