Underage Drinking & Spring River = Bad Combination
A tragedy happened this Saturday, and it is one that should have never happened. Any loss of life is tragic, but when its our youth, and due to actions that could have been prevented it makes it even worse.
According to the Sharp County Sheriff’s website, on July 2nd, 2011, at 1:09am. Sharp County Dispatch received a call from a camper at the L.B. access to the Spring River. The caller was reporting that some young men could not find their friend who is 17 years old and possibly intoxicated. The caller stated that the young men did not want the police called because the juvenile had been drinking. It was believed that the youth had fallen into the Spring River.
Watching The River – River Gauge Stations
With the many recent floods over the last few years, it is very important to keep abreast of the Spring River water levels, especially during heavy storms. Our Spring River can rise to flood stage and fall back below literally in a days time.
The importance of an early warning monitoring system is a prudent investment in the community. One of the outstanding questions with regards to the last three added gauging stations was who would cover the cost to maintain them after the initial Dec 31, 2011 covered funding ran out.
