Protect the environment with

safe boating

Recreational boating reaches its peak when the weather warms up and people take to waterways in droves. Spending a day on the water enjoying the scenery or trying your luck at fishing are popular pastimes.

Following proper boating practices and etiquette can protect everyone onboard. Although ensuring passenger safety should be a priority, safeguarding against environmental impacts while boating also should be a concern.

Reduce engine exhaust

STOCK PHOTO The Breeze

Whenever possible, row, paddle or use sails to decrease engine use and subsequent exhaust. When engines must be used, do not idle unnecessarily.

Keep trash on the vessel

Do not discard any items over the side of the boat. Even seemingly harmless items can impact the environment. Store garbage in a bag and dispose of it properly when you return to the marina or dock. Secure items onboard so they will not blow off and end up in the water.

Avoid antifouling paints

Antifouling paints are special paints applied to the underside of vessels to prevent or slow down the growth of barnacles and other organisms. Maritime New Zealand notes that these paints can harm other sea life and prove dangerous when scraped off and not discarded properly.

Keep boats in proper working order

Poorly maintained boats may harm the environment.

Inefficiently working engines can produce more exhaust and contaminate the air and water. Oil and other mechanical fluids can leak into the water and affect the marine environment.

Proper maintenance helps keep boats safe and minimizes their impact on the environment.

Use pump-out stations

Pump out stations at marinas enable boaters to safely dispose of the contents from sanitary systems without waste ending up in the water. Commercial ships, such as tankers and bulk cargo carriers, have the added threat of ballast water. Ballast water keeps vessels buoyant. However, when this water is discharged at the next port of call, it can transfer biological materials, like bacteria and plants, from foreign waters.

Far too many people die from drowning each year in the United States. Exercising caution when swimming or boating is paramount to keeping everyone safe.

Ways to stay safe around the water this summer Summer is here, which means that more children will be in and around water areas such as pools, lakes and oceans. Like many parents, you worry about your children’s safety around water, no matter how old they are.

According to the CDC, drowning is the leading cause of injury death among children aged 1 to 4, and the third leading cause of unintentional injury death in children and adolescents aged 5 to 19. Two children die every day due to drowning, and according to a study from the National SAFE KIDS Campaign, 88 percent of children who drown do so while under adult supervision. Many don’t realize that drowning can occur quietly, with no overt signs that the child is in trouble.

The good news is that you can follow safety tips – and teach your children skills – to help keep them safe while enjoying water activities. Supervising children vigilantly and creating barriers to accessing water unexpectedly are the first steps in averting a tragedy.

Teaching children how to be safe in and around water is one of the most important life skills parents can give their children. In fact, research shows that participation in formal water safety and swim lessons can reduce the risk of drowning among children 1 to 4 years of age.

Lindsay Mondick, Senior Manager of Aquatics at YMCA of the USA (Y-USA) offers important safety tips to protect your children from harm around water, whether it’s in the bathtub, at the beach or in a pool.

Never swim alone

Nobody should swim by themselves, in case of accident. Teach your children that they should never enter the water anywhere without a lifeguard and/or responsible caregiver attending them.

Stay attentive and watch without distraction

If you’re with a large group, or even if a lifeguard is present, designate one person to watch the child or children at all times. If children are in a pool or near a body of water, a caregiver needs to be close, paying full attention and not distracted by a phone or other diversions.

Safe boating involves following the rules of the water and also keeping marine environments clean and protected.

Wear U.S. Coast Guardapproved life jackets

Children and adolescents must wear

appropriately sized and weighted life jackets in or around watercraft. It’s important to understand that not all life jackets are Coast Guard approved.

Adults can check this feature by looking at the tag on the inside of the jacket. Non-swimmers and small children should always wear life jackets when near water and while swimming. Adults should also wear them to model safe behavior.

Don’t practice holding your breath under water

Children should not have breath-holding contests or participate in underwater swimming challenges that could risk their lives.

Learn CPR. When seconds count, bystanders may be the first to help, so learning CPR may save a life. If you were CPR certified years ago, take a refresher course. CPR classes are available at community centers, hospitals and the American Red Cross.

Teach basic swim skills early

Not only do most children enjoy swimming lessons, but taking formal lessons can save their lives. Many free or reduced-cost options for classes are available at your local YMCA for children from 6 months old through adults.

Learning basic water safety and swimming skills at an early age helps children cope with potential dangers. In Safety Around Water classes at the Y, adults and children learn what to do if they find themselves in water unexpectedly.

Participants practice basic skills like how to float and tread water; learning how to push off the bottom of the pool as they are submerging to get back to the surface can help a child find and grab the side of the pool for safety.

Each year, the Y teaches over a million children and teens how to swim, providing lessons about water safety in a fun, safe environment. There are classes available to meet every family’s needs and schedules. Water safety not only saves lives but also builds confidence.

Learning to enjoy activities in and around the water nurtures children’s social-emotional, cognitive and physical development. Water safety and swimming lessons promote a lifelong enjoyment of swimming while encouraging healthy living.

Dining on the New managers at Pier 290 focus on the dining experience

By Heather Ruenz STAFF WRITER

On the sunny, scenic shores of Williams Bay sits the high-end, casual restaurant Pier 290. As the most recent addition to the Gage family of brands, it’s one of the few eateries on Geneva Lake for locals and visitors alike to arrive and dine by land or by sea.

As a premier space to enjoy “great food, refreshing drinks, and a stunning atmosphere” – including a large outdoor dining space, Pier 290 is a popular place to spend time enjoying the company of family and friends, the restaurant’s website states.

“One challenge our restaurant has always faced, however, is stability. With a difficult market that undergoes major upswings each summer and gentle declines between fall and spring, the experiences of our guests have, at times, been inconsistent,” the site states.

“This year, we’re committed to making these inconsistencies a thing of the past.”

SUBMITTED PHOTO The Breeze

This view from the lake shows the outdoor dining patio at Pier 290 in Williams Bay (on right) in front of the restaurant and adjacent to Gage Marine, and canopies and beach seating.

“There is plenty of history here, for me, and I believe a few subtle improvements will go a long way in providing our customers with amazing experiences – every time they visit,” Farrell said.

Summer offerings

In line with the weather trending warmer, a few weeks ago the restaurant made the transition from heartier dishes to lighter and fresher options.

In addition to several of its customers’ favorite appetizers, highlights from the new summer menu at Pier 290 include: Refreshing Watermelon Stack – freshly cut and stacked watermelon sprinkled with goat cheese, a pinch of pepper and drizzled with a balsamic glaze; New Citrus Shrimp Salad – combines sweet and salty flavors of Gulf shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and sliced avocado – all gently tossed in a cilantro citrus vinaigrette and topped with sliced almonds and fresh mozzarella cheese; Grilled Chicken Sandwich – a smoky and satisfying menu item featuring a double-lobed chicken breast and smoked bacon, topped with sliced avocado and zesty chipotle mayo – all served on a toasted brioche bun; Norwegian Salmon – pan seared with fresh flavor alongside a trio of tomatoes, asparagus, and fresh basil and garlic, served with a small twirl of angel hair pasta and a sweet wine olive oil sauce to boot; Bone-In Pork Chop – house-cut and

smoked, 10 oz. chop offers a full, rich flavor and is served with a tangy chipotle cream cheese sauce, potato mash, and seasonal vegetables; 16 oz. Bone-In Ribeye – classically seasoned and char-grilled to customers’ liking, served with creamy potato mash and seasonal vegetables.

In addition to regular featured desserts, Pier 290 plans to include a rotating “featured dessert of the day” this summer.

If it works…

Thanks to the restaurant’s location, Pier 290 will continue to offer casual, indoor/ outdoor dining experiences (including offthe-water ordering and covered party dining) as well as classy, upscale dinners in the evenings.

“We’re really looking to maintain stability at Pier 290 – both in our kitchen and in our menu,” Farrell explained.

Farrell said only about 20 percent of the menu will change throughout the year including lighter, fresher options being offered in the spring and summer.

Pier 290 is at 1 Liechty Drive, Williams Bay. It’s open at 11 a.m., daily.

Local beaches offer a boatload of summer fun

Although warm weather took its sweet time in getting here this year, you can be sure there’ll be plenty of sweltering days in the Geneva Lakes area come July and August.

And for that, the area offers a natural remedy.

With an abundance of lakes – and, accordingly, beaches – the Geneva Lakes area boasts a wealth of sun, sand and cooling breezes on summer days.

Whether it’s the large popular beaches on Geneva Lake – Riviera or Fontana – or the more secluded stretches of sand found on Twin Lakes in Kenosha County or Browns Lake in Burlington, the choices are many.

The decision is as simple as matching the summer day with your mood – Do I want to hang out with a hundred sun-drenched souls or do I want to hunker down with a book under the branches of an oak tree?

Perhaps you’re looking for a lively game of volleyball or a playground for the kids. It’s all here and accessible with a drive of a few minutes.

Here’s your guide to the area’s beaches:

Big Foot Beach

Delavan

Big Foot Beach State Park, 1452 Wells St., Lake Geneva, is a 271-acre park on the eastern shore of Lake Geneva. There are many park activities including trails, a playground, volleyball courts, and a 40-acre picnic area. There is a small swimming beach on the lakeshore however no lifeguards are present.

In the Town of Delavan, Community Park, 1220 South Shore Drive, (262) 740-2335, has a large playground, including a volleyball court, horseshoe pit, and picnic area but the swimming beach is small.

The swimming area is delineated to keep swimmers from going out of the area because of underwater weeds.

The beach offers free use of life jackets. Non-town residents are charged $25 for a seasonal pass while residents use the beach for free. Daily rates for visitors are also available.

Williams Bay

Lake Geneva

Williams Bay Beach is on Geneva Avenue in Williams Bay, (262) 245-2720. With a clean, sandy beach, Williams Bay attracts families.

“I enjoy working here because everyone is so friendly. I meet so many people,” a lifeguard at the beach said during a recent visit. “There is a steady flow of visitors throughout the day.”

Like all of the beaches glass and alcohol are not allowed. Parking is available across the street without charge. Entry fee is $8 for adults and $4 for children.

Lifeguards are on duty from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

It also offers a bath house with showers.

Located in downtown Lake Geneva at 211 Wrigley Drive, (262) 248-3673, Rivera Beach is a 600-foot-long sandy stretch that attracts both the local residents and tourists from the Chicago and northern Illinois area.

On recent sunny day the beach was not nearly as crowded as it is on weekends, but it still had many visitors. Food is allowed and there are many restaurants in the immediate area. The pier out in the lake attracts swimmers who enjoy swimming out to it and jumping or diving in to the lake. Groups of teenagers were playing volleyball in the water without a net and seemed to be having a great time.

A lifeguard is on duty from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. throughout the summer season. While it is one of the nicest beaches around, it is also the busiest.

Tickets costing $8 for adults and $4 for children are purchased from a machine at the entrance to the park.

Pay station street parking is available although on some days spaces are difficult to find.

Fontana Beach – 505 Lake St., Fontana, (262) 2756136 – is another large beach that attracts many visitors especially families. According to the beach’s manager, the beach is popular because it has deep sand and a grassy knoll and is kept scrupulously clean.

Food and beverages are allowed but no grills, glass, or alcohol.

The water has two separate lines of buoys, one to mark the shallow end up to four-feet deep and the second section for the deeper water. Beach officials do not recommend going past the second line of buoys.

Three or four lifeguards are on duty and one of the lifeguards is usually on the pier to better watch those in the deeper water.

Guards are on duty from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Daily rates are $10 for those 12 and older and $5 for ages 6-11. Changing rooms are available.

Fontana

Twin Lakes Twin Lakes, as its name implies, has two lakes – Lake Elizabeth and Lake Mary – with several beaches open to the public. Lance Park Beach along Main Street on Lake Mary in the Village of Twin Lakes is perhaps the most popular. The beach is small with very little sand, but it features a collar of green grass behind it.

Several mothers with children were at the beach during a recent visit. No lifeguards are on duty so swimming is at your own risk. There is plenty of parking and no admission fee.

Burlington Fischer Park on Browns Lake in Burlington, 30326 Durand Avenue, (262) 763-8446, features a wide, sandy beach where children enjoy playing, and a grassy area where parents and grandparents can sit shaded by some of the large trees that make it a comfortable place for all.

The park is well maintained. Lifeguards are on duty from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. each day during the swimming season. Picnic tables encourage visitors to spend the day and enjoy a picnic lunch.

There is a $2 per person fee during the swimming season.

While this list is not a complete list of all the beaches available in the area, it includes some of the best and most popular.

A day in the sunshine filled with outdoor activity has the makings of lasting family memories.

Teamwork makes building this small lake in the sand at Williams Bay beach successful. The project with a small bridge and waterfall requires constant refilling with pails of water as the water quickly soaks into the sand.
