A Message FromYasmin Beers

Glendale City Manager

As we prepare to head intowarmer temperatures filled withswimming and other recreationalwater activities, it is important toknow how to stay safe while youand your children are in or nearthe water.

According to the U.S. Centers forDisease Control and Prevention,drowning is the 5th leading causeof unintentional death in theUnited States. Children are at aparticularly high risk, with about 1in 5 fatalities involving childrenaged 14 and younger. For everychild that loses his or her life,another 5 receive emergencytreatment for nonfatal submersioninjuries. This problem needs to beaddressed to prevent these tragic,and entirely preventable, losses.

So, whether you’re at the pool,beach, or lake, following a fewsafety tips can prevent seriousinjuries or drowning.

Here are 10 tips to keep safe inthe water:

1. Ensure that everyone inthe family learns to swimwell

2. Swim in designated areassupervised by lifeguards

3. Never leave childrenunattended even if theycan swim

Firework Safety

If you’re reading this, you’re already on the right track to having a safe Fourth ofJuly.

Fireworks displays will once again light up the night sky over the CrescentaHighlands on July 4, 2018 at Crescenta Valley High School located at 2900Community Ave., La Crescenta, CA 91214. The City of Glendale is a majorsponsor of this annual event. Your attendance at this celebration not onlysupports a cherished local tradition, it also says that you understand theimportance of leaving fireworks to the professionals.

The City of Glendale has a zero tolerance policy for all fireworks. All personalfireworks, including the ‘safe and sane’ varieties, are illegal in the City ofGlendale.Following this law is all the more important because of dry, rain-deprived hillsides and hot temperatures. One spark can set the hillside on fire,which would have a devastating outcome for first responders, area residentsand wildlife.

Help keep all of us, our children, our homes and our property safe from illegalfireworks. Call Glendale Police at (818) 548-4911 to report illegal fireworks andother suspicious activities.

To learn more about Glendale's local fireworks show,visit www.cvfireworks.com.

On behalf of the City of Glendale, have a happy and safe Fourth of July!

July 13 - YEREVAN2800Exhibition - Opening Reception,

Imagine this: You’re celebrating a festive occasion like a birthday or graduation.You’re having a great time, and all of a sudden, the power goes out and you’rein the dark. You’re annoyed about the situation now and are wondering why ithappened. Remember earlier in the day when you let your balloons go? Thoseballoons eventually came down, got caught in power lines, and caused thisoutage that’s causing you so much misery.

Outages like these are not uncommon. In Glendale alone, mylar balloonscaused over 25% of all power outages last year. Outages caused by balloonstook about 37 minutes to be restored, and some took over 2 hours! They cancause a lot of damage to power lines.

By simply holding on to your balloons and not letting them fly away into the sky,you can help prevent outages and not be in the dark. Dispose of them properlyby cutting them up and throwing them away instead of letting them go.
