Public pool drains can be deadly for children

PUBLIC POOL DRAINS
CAN BE DEADLY FOR CHILDREN

Please read this article by the CBS Early Show for information on how dangerous pool drains can be, located in public pools, parks, hotels, schools, spas, hot tubs, and camps. Keep your kids and those in your town safe. Click on the links in the article for more information. Here is a story about a recent drain entrapment involving a five-year-old, and this page shows the type of injury these drains can cause. Please share this link and information.

Here's an excerpt from the article:

(CBS) Thousands of public pools may be putting your kids at risk this summer, because they're violating a new federal safety rule.

The National Swimming Pool Foundation estimates that half of all 300,000 public pools, in places such as parks, hotels, schools and camps, have failed to install new anti-entrapment devices aimed at keeping children from getting stuck in the drains.

"Early Show" consumer correspondent Susan Koeppen reported Thursday that drains present hidden hazards in both pools and spas. And they can be deadly. A drain in a hot tub is what killed 7-year-old Virginia Graeme Baker in 2002. The force was so strong, Koeppen reported, two grown men couldn't pull her free from the drain's powerful suction.

But now, new safety standards have been put in place to keep swimmers, especially children from getting trapped. But many pools and spas across the country have yet to comply with the law.

George Pellington of The Pool Safety Council said he has no doubts that many pools still use the unsafe drain covers, which he calls "death traps."

Day 10

Pray that your husband will cultivate strong integrity, and not compromise his convictions. Pray that his testimony will be genuine, that he will be honest in his business dealings, and will never do anything that he needs to hide from others. (Prov. 20:7; 1 Tim. 1:5, 3:7; Eph. 6:10-12)


Proverbs 20:7

A righteous man who walks in his integrity--
How blessed are his sons after him.

1 Timothy 1:5 (NASB)

5 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

1 Timothy 3:7 (NASB)

7 And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Ephesians 6:10-12, (NASB)

The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.

11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Day 9

Pray that your husband handle finances wisely, will have discernment concerning budgeting and investments, and will be a good steward of his money in regard to giving to the Lord’s work. Pray that money will not become a source of discord in your family. (Prov. 23:4-5; Rom. 12:13; Heb. 13:5)


Proverbs 23:4-5

4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
have the wisdom to show restraint.

5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

Romans 12:13 (NIV)

13 Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

Hebrews 13:5 (NIV)

5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."

Peerless Hand-held Shower Head

When my husband said one Christmas that he'd gotten me something I'd wanted for a long time, I couldn't imagine what he might have bought. But when I opened his gift and saw this Peerless hand-held shower head, I knew his statement had been absolutely correct!

I love this shower head! I have had a lot of problems with frozen shoulders, and this shower head has made showers much less painful, which has been a huge blessing. This shower head definitely works for me!
