Tidbits of Glenrock, Douglas and Wheatland August 30 - September 5, 2012 August 30 - September 5, 2012 Tidbits of Glenrock, Douglas and Wheatland

By Sam Erickson

Every year, there’s at least one story on the news about someone who has been killed or injured in a hunting accident. It’s always a tragedy, and it’s often a tragedy that could have been avoided by carefully fol-lowing safety precautions. It may not be the most exciting part of the hunting experience, but safety is probably the most important.

A hunter’s safety course can provide you with essential information and refresh your memory even if you’ve been hunting for awhile. The requirements for a hunter’s safety course vary by state, so check your local laws to find out what is required. Some programs are offered on-line, but many require an in-person check to make sure that each hunter understands how to implement the rules.

Guns should be treated as if they are loaded at all times. Proper muzzle direction is essential for safety. Many people accidentally shoot themselves because they aren’t being careful with the direction of the weapon. Treating the gun as if it is loaded will also help you remember to keep your finger off the trigger until the moment you decide to shoot. Once you decide to shoot, be sure of your target. If you aren’t certain of your target, you shouldn’t shoot. It’s understandable that hunters are anxious to complete a kill, particularly if they’ve had a long, frustrating day or series of days. However, hunters should resist the urge to shoot at anything that hasn’t positively been identified as a viable target.

It’s always useful to go out hunting with someone else. You and your friend can help keep each other safe and be there in case of an emergency. Many non-gun emergencies happen to hunters every year — sprained ankles and wrists, for example — and a friend can get you out of the trouble you’ve gotten yourself into. If you choose to go alone, be sure that someone knows where you are going and when you plan to return. If you choose to go out hunting alone, you are probably not the only one in the area. It’s essential that you wear bright safety orange to make sure that you are easily seen by any other hunters in the area.

Alcohol and hunting never mix. For most people, hunting is recreational, but there’s absolutely no reason to drink and hunt. Alcohol impairs judg-ment and can lead to unsafe practices that might result in severe injury or death. Save those adult beverages for after the hunt when you are back at camp and can regale your friends with your day’s adventures.

In order to be safe, you must treat your hunting experience with respect — respect for the weapons, respect for the animals and respect for the environ-ment you’re be in. If you can keep these simple tips in mind and always put safety first, you can have successful and safe hunting experiences for years to come.

• On Sept. 13, 1814, Francis Scott Key pens a poem, which is later set to the music of a popular English drinking tune called "To Anacreon in Heaven." In 1931 the song becomes America's national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner."

• On Sept. 10, 1897, a 25-year-old London taxi driver named George Smith becomes the first person ever arrested for drunk driving. A true breath test didn't come along until 1931 with a device called the Drunkometer. It involved a blow-up balloon and a tube filled with a purple fluid (potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid). Alcohol on a person's breath changed the color of the fluid from purple to yellow; the quicker the change, the drunker the person.

• On Sept. 14, 1927, dancer Isadora Duncan is strangled in Nice, France, when the enormous silk scar f she is wearing gets tangled in the rear hubcaps of her open car. The scarf wound around the axle, tightening around Duncan's neck and dragging her from the car.

• On Sept. 16, 1940, the first peacetime draft in the history of the United States is imposed. Registration of men between the ages of 21 and 36 began exactly one month later. There were some 20 million eligible young men -- 50 percent were rejected in the first year for health reasons or illiteracy.

Fifteen presumptive illnesses are now covered for those who served at Camp Lejeune, N.C.

The problem at Camp Lejeune was the drink-ing water. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the water contained volatile organic solvents (trichloroeth-ylene, or TCE; tetrachloroethylene, or PCE; vinyl chloride) and benzene (a component of fuel), which are carcinogens.

For years the Department of Veterans Affairs denied claims for subsequent cancers and other illnesses. For a short time, claims were decided on a case-by-case basis, but getting benefits wasn't easy because it required proving the link between drinking the water so long ago and illness.

Now not only will veterans be covered, but their families will as well.

The devil is in the details, however. Family members will only be eligible for reimbursement for previous care after they have "exhausted with-out success all claims ... against a third party."

Veterans who served at Camp Lejeune for not

less than 30 days are covered for the following illnesses: esophageal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, leukemia, multiple myeloma, myleodysplasic syndromes, renal toxicity, hepatic steatosis, female infertility, miscarriage, scleroderma, neurobehavioral effects and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Sen. Leahy of Vermont, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has released 8,000 documents related to the water con-tamination at Camp Lejeune. The link to those documents is: www.judiciary.senate.gov/CampLejeuneIndex.htm.

Your best bet is to read them side by side with an excellent explanatory page done by Mike Partain for The Few, The Proud, The Forgotten website: tftptf.com, then click MCBLC Timeline of Events, then scroll to Partain's link.

You'll be dismayed by what you read. However, the good news is that we now have benefits for presumptive illnesses caused by service at Camp Lejeune. The shame of it all is that the government has known for many years that those wells were contaminated.
