MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS

Taking stock in the blessings of 2017
Today, as we celebrate
Christmas Eve, please
grant me the liberty
to share how God has
blessed the Meigs County
Health Department
(MCHD) so it could bless
others in 2017. Scripture
makes it clear that God
blesses us not so we can
live with greed, but so
we can bless others. 2
Corinthians 9:8-11 - …
God is able to make every
blessing of yours overﬂow
for you, so that in every
situation you will always
have all you need for any
good work. God loves a
cheerful giver. When He
sees that someone is giving freely out of love, God
blesses them more. We

at the MCHD are blessed
to be a blessing. God has
given our staff passion
and different talents to
do work for the beneﬁt of
others.
Meigs County voters
blessed the MCHD with
passing a one mil replacement tax levy, which commenced in 2017. Thank
you, voters, for sowing
that seed! With careful
ﬁscal management and
the anticipated increased
tax collection, the Board
of Health (BOH) was
able to revise its salary
schedule. After six years,
we ﬁnally were able to

THEIR VIEW

A magical
Christmas
for all
The magic of Christmas comes in many
shapes and forms. I remember the shiny gloss
of a purple-and-white J.C. Higgins bicycle at
age 8. The next year was even better—a Lionel train whose sleek black engine could puff
smoke and race around the track, pulling an
orange boxcar, a silver tanker car, and a bright
red caboose. I would let out a cry but secretly
thrill to see it fly off the tracks when I raced it
around a curve at too high a speed.
We often had a white Christmas where I
grew up, the yard carpeted with thick snow,
icicles clinging to window frames,
James F. and my mother sowing the window sill with seeds for birds from
Burns
Contributing the nearby woods. A bright red
cardinal would come to the wincolumnist
dow when Mother rang a little
bell. All magical in a child’s mind.
I can even glimpse what a Christmas was
like for my mother when she was three years
old—back in 1907—since her own mother
wrote a letter that day, describing a Christmas
program of songs and recitation at the local
school. They asked two boys what they wanted
to be when big. One said he was going to be
a “splendifferous” lawyer, another “a preacher
and preach as loud as I can.” Each of the 85
children in the program received a gift bag of
candy, nuts, and fruit.
Back at the family farmhouse, the gifts
included flannel shirts for the boys, blocks
and a picture book for my mother and a ladder wagon for her twin brother. But work
remained an integral part of farm life in 1907.
The day before Christmas, the boys “shucked
23 shocks of corn” and my grandmother ended
her Christmas-Day letter with: “I must close
and get to work. I want to wash windows this
afternoon.” Less magical but realistic.
Christmas can come with deep spiritual

be seen by what it is
not—call it Christmas Opposite.
Christmas Opposite exists in a mean-spiritedness that would
snuff out a Christmas candle. It is seen in its
rawest forms today in homeless refugees, the
bombing of civilians, and the literal slaughter
of innocents, even here this year. Christmas
Opposite exists in attitudes of taking rather
than giving and in crude and non-civil discourse that’s unfortunately also flourished here
at home this past year. Christmas Opposite
would steal Santa’s bag of toys and blacken
Rudolph’s shining red nose.
The magical generosity that pervades a
genuine Christmas spirit was perhaps best
described by a newspaper editor’s reply to a
little girl’s question about the nature of Santa
Claus. “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist…The most real things
in the world are those that neither children

rattle and see what makes the noise inside,
but there is a veil covering the unseen world
which not the strongest man..could tear
apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance can
push aside the curtain and view..the supernal
beauty and glory beyond (The New York Sun,
Sept. 21, 1897).”
You have the Christmas spirit if you see a
neighbor in need and help; if you hear the bell
ringer’s call and give; or if the sight of a child
in tattered clothes or an aged person in the
hospital brings a tear to your eye. And you
embody the Christmas spirit when you see
people, even strangers, hungry and thirsty,
scantily clothed and cold, sick or in prison—
and feed them, give them drink, clothe them,
and visit them. The Christmas Spirit is ageless, timeless, loving, giving, and generous. It
can be no other.

THEIR VIEW

Why Dickens plays so well at Christmas
It can be argued that
movie adaptations of
works by Charles Dickens are popular any time
of the year, but seemingly more so during the
Christmas holidays. And
it’s not just that any yuletide season is incomplete
without a showing of one
of the numerous versions
of “A Christmas Carol.”
Somehow the trials, tribulations and triumphs of
the author’s characters,
from David Copperﬁeld
to Nicholas Nickleby,
cheer us in the viewing
audience as we approach
the end of the year and
we gauge our own successes, failures and
break-even status both
economically and socially.
Christmas, in the world of
Dickens, provides a time
of renewal and reﬂection
as we, like his characters,
look to improve our station in life.
Dickensian scholar
Stefan R. Dziemianowicz — with whom I had
the honor of counting as
a friend in high school
— made an astute observation about the closing
vow by Ebenezer Scrooge
to keep the Christmas
spirit all year ‘round.
“This conversion of the
Christmas spirit into a
virtue that transcends
seasonal observance is
the true subscript to all
of Dickens’s Christmas
stories,” he wrote.*
As Dziemianowicz
notes, “A Christmas
Carol” is the Dickens
work most people who
haven’t familiarized themselves with his novels

offers a comparably

Dickens

Edwin Drood,” created
in the wake of the success that greeted the
studio’s “Great Expectations” (and helmed by
the same director, Stuart
Walker) of the previous
year. It’s an admirable
attempt to resolve Dickens’s last and unﬁnished
novel involving an
opium-addicted choirmaster (Claude Rains)
and the probe into the
Christmas Eve slaying of
his nephew (David Manners), blamed on the

half-caste youth (Douglass Montgomery) who
was the nephew’s rival
for the hand of the choirmaster’s pupil (Heather
Angel). It’s more in the
thriller mode, with the
holiday setting offering
a unique atmosphere for
the gothic doings to play
out, but offers diverting
viewing at this time of
the year.
So while not all of
Dickens’s works lend
themselves to the deﬁnition of a Christmas

movie, a good majority
of the cinema derived
from his novels and tales
are as welcome now as
they are in mid-summer.
The author’s concerns
with the human condition shown in his works
make for good drama as
well as comedy, and are
ﬁne reminders as to why
these ﬁlms, like the ﬁction on which they are
based, are classics of the
form.

These elements and an
array of fascinating characters and incidents make
Dickens ideal viewing
for both the holidays and
around the year.
And although it was
unsuccessful commercially and with critics at
the time of its release in
1947, the British adaptation of “Nicholas Nickleby,” directed by Alberto
Cavalcanti, plays just as
well as the better-known
versions of Dickens’s
efforts. Indeed, the New
York Times’ critique of
this ﬁlm on its original
release summed up
what it believed was its
major problem: “Nicholas Nickleby,” though
produced with care by
Ealing Studios, didn’t
compare favorably with
the well-regarded “Great
Expectations” of the previous year, or even with
1948’s ﬁlming of “Oliver
Twist.”
But comparisons aside,
“Nicholas Nickleby” is
compelling viewing as the
title hero (Derek Bond)
overcomes adversity and

an evil relative (Sir Cedric Hardwicke) to restore
his family to comfort
and security. It’s not the
better-known stage epic
of the 1980s but it doesn’t
deserve the dismissal it’s
gotten over the years. Its
release into the public
domain and home video
distribution has given
this “Nicholas Nickleby” a
new lease on life.

Shop with a Cop brightens Christmas

MASON — Area
children were recently
immersed with Christmas
delight provided by local
law enforcement ofﬁcers.
It appears Santa doesn’t
just live at the North Pole
but has ofﬁce space in the
Meigs County Sheriff’s
Ofﬁce as well.
On Thursday morning,
several ofﬁcers and workers from local law enforcement agencies, workers
from Meigs County Jobs
and Family Services, and
30 children overtook a
corner of Bob Evans restaurant in Mason to start
Shop with a Cop with a
warm breakfast and greetings from Santa Claus.
“This is something that
makes us feel good,” said
Meigs Sheriff Keith O.
Wood. “With everything
we are involved in daily,
this is something we
really enjoy. All of the
ofﬁcers.”
Wood shared this
is the fourth year the
Meigs County Sheriff’s
Ofﬁce has taken part
in the Shop with a Cop
program. The Mason
County Sheriff Ofﬁce
introduced the Meigs
County Sheriff Ofﬁce
to the Shop with a Cop
program in 2013. Wood
expressed this year has
had the highest number of children to be
involved. Also, Wood
wanted to give ofﬁcers
from other agencies an
opportunity to shop with
the children and participating in the event were
law enforcement personnel from the Meigs
County Sheriff Ofﬁce,
Ohio State Highway
Patrol, Racine Police
Department, Syracuse
Police Department, Middleport Police Department, and the Division
of Wildlife. Wood said
throughout the year the
Meigs County Sheriff’s
Ofﬁce will receive names
of children in need for
the holiday season from
Meigs County Jobs and
Family Services. Wood
added that local ofﬁcers
also share the names
of children they come
across while on duty.
“We deal with many of
these children on a daily
basis,” said Deputy Brandy King. “This is a positive way to be involved
with the children.”
Wood and King shared
how they and all of their
fellow ofﬁcers see some
of these children during
times of turmoil for their

family. Wood said the
children can be inclined
to think of the ofﬁcers as,
“the bad guys,” but with
this program all of the
ofﬁcers want to let the
children see that ofﬁcers
are good people and are
here to help.
Following breakfast,
everyone participating in
the program loaded up
and headed to Wal-Mart
to shop for Christmas
gifts and winter clothing
items for the kids.
Wood explained that
the Meigs County Sheriff
Ofﬁce has fundraising
projects throughout the
year to earn money for
the end of the year program. He said they set
a goal to raise at least
$5,000 this year. Wood
shared that this year they
had their annual, “No
Shave November,” and,
“Ugly Christmas Sweater
Basket Games,” along
with a beneﬁt softball
tournament held by the
Pomeroy Youth League
and a bake sale held at
the Tuppers Plains Farmers Bank.
The funds for the
program come through
the, “Loyalty is Forever,”
account at both Farmers
Bank locations in Pomeroy. Wood expressed how
supportive Tina Richards
and Lori Miller from
Farmers Bank are to his
department.
Wood shared he encourSheriff Keith O. Wood with Santa Claus at Bob Evans.
ages his community to
support this program.
He said he would like to
reach $10,000 for next
year and possibly change
their location for breakfast. Wood said people
can support this program
at anytime of the year if
they go to either Farmers Bank locations in
Pomeroy and donate to

allowing Cundiff some
time to crawl into the
sleeper cab to get some
rest.
“My truck was over
halfway across going
into Ohio on the downgrade,” he said. “I
remember sitting there
and the trafﬁc light
wasn’t working at the
end of the bridge so
that’s the reason trafﬁc
was backed up.”
Edmondson said there
was “no warning” that
the bridge was going to
fall.
“I was just sitting
there and the next
thing I knew, the bridge
turned over. It just
turned over and it hesitated for two or three
seconds. I was holding
onto the steering wheel
and then it headed
down.”
He said he thought
“how in the world am I
going to get out of here”
right before hitting the
water.
And, the heavy tractor trailer hit the water
with such force it turned
Edmondson into a “projectile” and his elbow
literally busted the passenger side window, the
glass cutting him on his
face and back. But, he
made it out through the
broken window.
“It fell so fast,” he
said.
He explained the current carried him out
from under the truck
and when he came up,
there was nothing, no
bridge there.
“That whole bridge
was under water.”
When he ﬁrst came
up from the water, his
“britches” had come all
the way down and were

telling how his “britches” had been too tight so
he had “undone” his belt

he was snagged with

struggling. He started
kicking his feet and
by some miracle they
slipped over his shoes
and he was freed. He
still can’t believe those
pants slipped over his
shoes to get him loose.
“Right there, I believe
the Lord had something
to do with that. I came
right back up, just that
like.”
He said when he was

“I didn’t have enough
courage to inhale it so
I just swallowed it…so
I drunk out of the Ohio
River,” he joked.
After he was freed
from that entanglement,
he said the seat from his
truck ﬂoated up beside
him and he grabbed on,
holding on as long as he
could as the current continued to carry him.
“I held on until it (the
seat) ﬁnally got away
from me,” he said. “So
I ﬂoated a pretty good
ways. The current was
so fast.”
About this time, the
fabric he had been hauling started popping up
all around him after the
trailer busted. He said
the fabric was packaged
in burlap bundles weighing around 600-700
pounds.
“They come plumb out
of the water, that rubber
fabric, I thought, ‘boy,
hope none of them come
up under me’…they were
all around me.”
One did ﬂoat up right
beside him. This bundle
was special because
there was a fortuitous
slit in the burlap fabric
just big enough for him
to get his ﬁnger into to
hang on.
“There was this little,
bitty slot wide enough I
could get my ﬁnger in so
I reached up and put my
ﬁnger in the slit and that
was the only slit on that
whole bundle,” he said.
“I held on to it. My ﬁnger got so cold, I dreaded to turn it loose (he
was loosing control and
feeling in his hand).”
About this time, a bird
landed on that roll of
fabric and continued to
ﬂoat with Edmondson as
the current carried him
closer to the Kanawha
River.
“All under that bridge
was birds’ nests and I
looked up while ﬂoating
down river and this bird
was above me sitting on
the fabric looking at me
the whole time and I was
looking at him,” he said.
“Some people I told
about that bird sitting
up there, they told me
that wasn’t a bird, that
was your angel.”
He smiled a bit and
said, “I ain’t denying it.
It was sure up there (on
the bundle).”
He said about the

By Alex Hawley

STEWART, Ohio — Offensive efﬁciency at its
ﬁnest.
The Eastern girls basketball team made over
half of its ﬁeld goal attempts on Thursday night at
McInturf Gymnasium, as the Lady Eagles topped
Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host
Federal Hocking by a 59-46 count, ending the the
Lady Lancers’ ﬁve-game winning streak.
Eastern (6-2, 5-1 TVC Hocking) — now alone
in second place in the league standings — led by
a narrow 11-10 margin after eight minutes of play.
The Lady Eagles outscored FHHS (5-3, 5-2) by a
15-10 clip in the the second quarter, making their
advantage 26-20 at halftime.
The guests broke the game open in the third
period, going on a 20-to-8 run and stretching the
advantage to 18 points, at 46-28, headed into the
ﬁnale.
The Lady Lancers saved their best for last, outscoring EHS by a 18-13 clip in the ﬁnale, but it
was too little, too late, as the Lady Eagles claimed
the 59-46 victory.
Eastern made 23-of-45 (51.1 percent) ﬁeld goal
attempts, including 3-of-9 (33.3 percent) threepoint tries. Federal Hocking shot 16-of-57 (28.1
percent) from the ﬁeld, including 9-of-24 (37.5
percent) from deep. Both teams struggled from
the free throw line, EHS shooting 10-of-22 (45.5
percent) and FHHS going 5-of-14 (35.7 percent).
Eastern outrebounded the Lady Lancers by a
40-to-27 tally, but lost the turnover battle by a
23-17 clip. the Lady Eagles claimed a 15-to-10
edge in assists, while Federal Hocking had advantages of 13-to-8 in steals and 6-to-1 in blocked
shots.
The victors were led by senior Elizabeth Collins
with 17 points, coming on six ﬁeld goals and ﬁve
free throws. Alyson Bailey was next with 16 points
on six two-pointers, one triple and one free throw,
to go with a game-high six assists.
Jess Parker hit one three-pointer en route to
11 points, while leading the Lady Eagle defense
with four steals and one block. Madison Williams
also made one trifecta and wound up with seven
points, while grabbing a game-best 12 rebounds.
Kelsey Casto and Kaitlyn Hawk scored four points
apiece to round out the EHS total.

Ohio beats UAB 41-6 in Bahamas Bowl
NASSAU, Bahamas
(AP) — Ohio coach
Frank Solich knew his
Bobcats were better than
their record showed.
You’ll get no argument
from UAB.
Dorian Brown rushed
for 152 yards on just 12
carries and scored four
touchdowns, Nathan
Rourke threw for two
scores and Ohio beat
UAB 41-6 in the Bahamas
Bowl on Friday.
It was a stirring comeback for the Bobcats, who
lost their last two games
of the regular season to
miss a shot at the MidAmerican Conference
title.
“I feel like eight wins
were not enough with
this football team, so this
ninth win puts a little
icing on the cake,” Solich
said.
Ohio (9-4) averaged

38.9 points per game during the season, setting a
school record with 467
points scored, and the
Bobcats exhibited that
prowess in the opening
half of this one, using big
plays to build an insurmountable 27-3 halftime
lead.
Brown, a redshirt
senior, scored on runs of
74, 9, 25 and 14 yards,
two in the second quarter
and two in the third as
he carried the load for
injured A.J. Ouellette.
“It was very important
(to go out on a high
note),” Brown said. “I
had to step up and take
my role.”
Brown’s heroics were
too much for the Blazers,
a feel-good team seeking
its ﬁrst bowl victory on
just its second try. The
loss spoiled the end of a
remarkable ﬁrst season

back for UAB (8-5),
which was predicted to
struggle and didn’t.
UAB President Ray
Watts had cut the football
program in December
2014 because a university report deemed it too
expensive. After public
outcry, football was
reinstated, but NCAA
rules required the school
to skip the 2016 season
to help the players who
stuck it out re-adjust to
competing at the top level
of college football.
The Blazers, under
Conference USA Coach
of the Year Bill Clark,
responded by winning a
school-record eight games
and ﬁnished second in
the conference’s West
Division. They won six of
their ﬁnal eight games.
On this day, though,
they ran out of miracles.

Dayton senior Jenna Burdette — a 2014 graduate of Eastern High School, where she holds the all-time scoring record —
became the 25th member of the UD women’s basketball 1,000-point club on Wednesday in New Orleans, Louisiana. Burdette
— who entered Wednesday’s opening round of the New Orleans Tournament with 989 career points — achieved the milestone
with a three-pointer early in the second quarter of the Flyers’ 93-87 overtime loss to No. 19 South Florida. Burdette now has
1,009 career points for Dayton, as she finished the game with 20 points, to go with season-high 12 assists.

easy, and that’s when
you see our offense start
to click.”
Ohio raced to a 13-0
lead in the ﬁrst quarter,
pretty much sticking to
the ground until the end
of an 11-play drive. After
the Blazers were called
for two penalties in the
red zone, Rourke hit
DL Knock for a 19-yard
touchdown midway
through the period.
Rourke then stunned
the Blazers with a bomb.
After a nifty 23-yard
punt return by the elusive Papi White, Rourke
took advantage of UAB’s
preoccupation with the
run game and hit White
on a play-action pass for

a 56-yard touchdown
and a 13-0 lead. Brown’s
74-yard run early in the
second boosted the lead
to 20-0.
When UAB ﬁnally
mounted a promising
drive, the Blazers had
to settle for Nick Vogel’s
34-yard ﬁeld goal midway through the second
quarter.
Spencer Brown, who
broke the UAB school
record for freshman rushing yards with 1,329,
ﬁnished with 37 yards on
13 carries.

Hannan senior Malachi Cade (3) tries to dribble around a Wayne defender during the second half of
Thursday night’s non-conference boys basketball contest in Ashton, W.Va.

Pioneers surge past Hannan
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

ASHTON, W.Va. — It
was close for nearly three
quarters.
Then, all of a sudden, it
wasn’t.
Visiting Wayne made
a 40-14 surge over the
ﬁnal 9:35 of regulation
while turning a four-point
lead into a sizable 88-58
victory over the Hannan
boys basketball team on
Thursday night in a nonconference matchup in
Mason County.
The host Wildcats (1-3)
trailed all but 26 seconds
of the contest, as the
Pioneers (3-1) overcame
an early 3-2 deﬁcit with
a Zach Perry basket at
the 7:20 mark of the ﬁrst
period and ultimately led
the rest of the way.
The Blue and White,
however, never trailed by
more than a dozen points
through three quarters of
play — and they managed
to keep things quite interesting over that span.

WHS — behind a 9-of18 shooting effort in the
ﬁrst canto — stormed out
to 19-7 edge with just 38
seconds left, but an oldfashioned three-point play
from Logan Nibert seven
seconds later allowed
Hannan to whittle the
lead down to three possessions through eight
minutes of action.
The Wildcats followed
with ﬁve straight points
to start the second stanza, but the Red and Black
answered with an 8-0 run
to extend their lead back
out to a dozen (27-15)
with 5:28 remaining until
halftime.
Hannan responded
with an 11-3 charge over
the next three minutes to
pull back to within 30-26,
then closed the ﬁnal 2:05
small 6-4 run to enter
halftime trailing 34-32.
The hosts twice closed
to within a single point at
36-35 and again at 38-37
following a Nibert bucket
with 5:57 left in the third,
but Wayne answered with

a small 10-7 run over the
next four-plus minutes
to establish a 48-44 edge
with 1:40 remaining.
The Pioneers, however,
made a small 6-2 run over
the ﬁnal 95 seconds of
the third to claim a 54-46
cushion headed into the
ﬁnale — and the Wildcats
were never closer from
there.
WHS made its ﬁrst
eight shots of the fourth
quarter — including four
trifectas from Gunner
Daniels — that resulted
in a 76-48 advantage with
4:02 left in regulation.
The guests went to lead
by as many as 32 points
on three different occasions before ultimately
claiming the 30-point
triumph.
Hannan missed its ﬁnal
11 three-point attempts
and went just 5-of-15
from the ﬁeld in the
fourth quarter, as well
as 11-of-31 overall in the
second half.

“Honestly, we just ran out of gas in the fourth
quarter. We only have seven players to rotate
in and out right now, and you could tell that we
worn out in that final quarter. We’re battling
injuries and we are continuing to work on our
conditioning, but it was hard for us to battle a
whole bench-full of players that Wayne had.”

From page 6B

Wayne, conversely, went
22-of-34 from the ﬂoor
after halftime and netted
13-of-18 shot attempts
over the ﬁnal eight minutes of play.
After hanging tough for
roughly 24 minutes against
a school more than twice
its size, HHS coach Becky
Ferrell felt that her troops
played about as well as they
could — given that they are
missing three players from
their 10-man roster.
But, as she also noted,
there are still some other
things that Wildcats need
to keep working on as the
season progresses.
“Honestly, we just ran
out of gas in the fourth
quarter. We only have
seven players to rotate in
and out right now, and you
could tell that we worn

Ferrell said. “We’re battling injuries and we are

whole bench-full of players
that Wayne had.
“We made some mistakes
tonight and we have to
learn from those mistakes,
but I also thought we had a
lot of positives come out of
tonight’s game. We’ll grow
from this one and we’ll be
better because of it. Given
what we were facing, I’m
really proud of the boys’
effort tonight.”
The Pioneers outrebounded the Blue and
White by a sizable 42-28
overall margin, including a
15-7 edge on the offensive
glass. Wayne also committed only a dozen turnovers, compared to the 18
miscues by the Wildcats.
Hannan connected on

22-of-56 ﬁeld goal attempts
for 39 percent, including a
5-of-25 effort from threepoint range for 20 percent.
The hosts were also 9-of16 at the free throw line
for 56 percent.
Malachi Cade paced
HHS with 22 points, followed by Nibert with 20
points and Dalton Coleman with 10 markers.
Devrick Burris, Matthew
Qualls and Andrew Gillispie completed the scoring with two points apiece.
Qualls led Hannan with
seven rebounds and Nibert
hauled in six caroms, while
Cade and Gillispie respectively grabbed ﬁve and
four boards.
Wayne sank 37-of-71

Sunday, December 24, 2017 7B

shot attempts for 52 percent, including a 7-of-23
effort from behind the arc
for 30 percent. The guests
were also 7-of-12 at the
charity stripe for 58 percent.
Perry — easily the biggest player on the ﬂoor for
either squad — turned in
a dominant performance
with a double-double
effort of 26 points and 13
rebounds, both game-highs.
Daniels was next with 18
points, followed by Corey
Marcum with 17 points
and Devin Hall with 10
markers. Gavin Meadows
also added eight points
and 11 rebounds to the
winning cause.
Kameron Atkins and
Darian Maynard completed the WHS tally with
respective efforts of ﬁve
and four points.
Hannan returns to action
Friday (Dec. 29) when
it travels to Mason for a
varsity girls-boys doubleheader at Wahama. The
boys contest will begin at
approximately 7:15 p.m.

“Get It All.”

southeastern Ohio or western West
Virginia, ice is rarely thick enough to
venture out onto safely. If you do go out
onto ice, don’t go alone, and don’t walk so
close to your buddy that you both go in at
the same time.
Being all bundled up, then engaging in
strenuous physical activity, followed by
inactivity, can also cause hypothermia.
Imagine a cold day carrying your climbing
stand up into the woods, then climbing the
tree, getting all hot and sweaty inside your
warm, insulated camouﬂage coveralls, then
sitting inside those sweat-soaked coveralls
for hours exposed to the cold and wind –
hypothermia may set in.
Again, the key thing here is dressing in
layers, and also knowing which fabrics can
insulate when wet and should be kept on,
and those that lose their insulating properties and will drag down your body temperature. In any event, the solution is the same:
get out of the water or those wet clothes,
get dry, and get warm.
Also pay attention to weather forecasts
and plan accordingly. The ability to accurately forecast weather has increased greatly since the Armistice Day Blizzard.
Fortunately there is plenty of information
out there about hypothermia and how to
prevent it. Consult the internet for more
information; a simple search should reveal
hundreds if not thousands of survival tips.
