The U.S. Coast Guard reports the fatality rate for recreational boating accidents in the U.S. increased slightly last year after reaching an e low in 1978. Coast Guard statistics show 9.7 Iwating fatalities for every. 100,000 boats in 1979 compared with a. fatality ate of 9.4 in 1978. Total fatalities last year reached 1,400, up 79 from the 1978 total. Last year, 6,934 boats were involved in 5,368 accidents, according to reports filed with the Coast Guard. In 1978, 8,576 boats were involved in 6,529 reported mishaps. The Coast Guard of the attributes about one-hal- f decline in boating accidents to a change in reporting criteria. 'Boating; regulations previously required that leporls Ik filed on all accidents involving $100 or more in damages. The amount was raised last year to $200. Boating accidents in 1979 caused injuries to 2,463 persons and $16,681,500 in property damage. Total injuries were up at least 15 percent fron any previous year while property damage rose 35 percent. Coast Guard officials again attribute the apparent increase in injuries to new reporting criteria. In 1979 all injuries requiring medical treatment were required to be beyond first-ai- d reported. Previously, the Coast Guard had to be notified if a person lost consciousness or received medical treatment, only if the person was disabled for more than 24 hours. Wo adulation in umpire's job With a total of 36 years experience between them, the team of Berg, Williams and Rivera did an ou- tstanding job during the recent homestand here with Spokane. They were practically unnoticed except for those who still remember the conflicts that the previous team of umpires were involved in during the series with Vancouver and Tucson. Not being noticed shows that your doing your Job very well" said crew chief David Rivera. "Fans dont pay to see us. If I wanted adulation I would have remained in baseball." David Rivera, now 31, played ball at in Northridge as a catcher and helped that team win the NCAA world scries in 1970, and was Cal-Sta- te voted there. during his stay He signed with the Giants in 1971 and played in the Midwest League until 1973. At the end of that season, a close friend and umpire, Bill Malan, convinced him to become an umpire and lecomu ended him to the league. Charlie Williams at 36, is now in his 5th year of umpiring. Although quiet and somewhat shy in public, on the field he knows his job, has the respect of players and managers. Few of his calls are disputed except as ritual dictates. Bill Berg, at 41, Is the old man of the team with 15 years of experience Iwhind him. He is only a temporary addition liecause a groin muscle injury to Willian s reduced his ability to move quickly and get in position. Position is everything," said Williams. "They teach you in umpire school where to be on every play mikI you work on it until its instinctive." "Thats why we got the extra help. Every pilch, every play could mean so touch to those players and I wont take a chance by not being able to get over there and possibly making a wrung call." Although modern technology lias given home viewers ample op- portunity to examine at leisure the calls of officials that were made in an instant, it has been very seldom that they were ever shown to be wiling. |
