this adrenaline rush seemed to give me massive strength.” He found the zipper for the canopy and ripped it open to find Cooper inside I noticed he was only in boxer shorts and a long-sleeved T-shirt this guy is lucky to even be breathing.’ “ who was beginning to develop signs of hypothermia himself deflated the raft with his knife and waited in the water until Cooper was hoisted Then Carire was hoisted into the helicopter by his harness It was midnight by the time we got him in there,” Carire says We had to cut all of his clothes off and put him into one of our hypothermic bags … which was tough to do because he weighed about 275 pounds.” Carire believes it was Cooper’s extra weight that kept him alive in near-freezing water for more than three hours The crew squeezed him into one of the bags and put him on oxygen as they flew him to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City he told the crew that he had gotten into the life raft immediately after the vessel was knocked over pulling on their survival suits on the deck of the doomed Alisha Marie “We searched for another day and a half for them but never found anything else but debris,” Carire says “[Cooper] received the best Christmas present of all that year It was a miracle he was even alive after being in the cold water that long.” The sea rescue association awarded silver medals to Coast Guard Auxiliarists Robert M Thomas for the rescue of three men in Buzzards Bay While aboard the Auxiliary vessel Amy Julie on the morning of Aug they spotted a 17-foot center console that was submerged to the gunwales in 4-foot rolling seas and 25-knot winds On board were two men wearing life jackets The men spoke Spanish and only limited English so Thomas spoke to them in Spanish and learned that there was a third crewmember who had fallen overboard near a red buoy about 1.25 nautical miles away the crew contacted Coast Guard Station Menemsha It instructed them to bring the two men onto the Amy Julie and search for the third man His left arm was around a child’s orange life jacket and he had a cushion tucked under his right arm he lost the cushion,” Sadeck says in a Coast Guard press release “We threw him a life ring and it landed right over his arm We pulled him to the boat and lifted him aboard.” where the Fairhaven Fire Department ambulance met them The auxiliary crew did one last sweep of the area to ensure that no other boaters were in peril The Atlantic Merchant Vessel Emergency Reporting System Award was presented to the captain and crew of the M/V Andes a Greek-flagged tanker managed by the Tsakos Group for rescuing seven Ecuadoran fishermen on June 5 For information on AFRAS, visit www.afras.org This article originally appeared in the Home Waters sections of the January 2011 issue Many products featured on this site were editorially chosen Soundings may receive financial compensation for products purchased through this site Copyright © 2025 Firecrown Reproduction in whole or in part without permission is prohibited Shipping and receiving inspector Sarah Rueda only left her house for work during the pandemic When she returned to her family's home in Lee County she would immediately wash her hands and take a shower If her family wasn’t watching the horror movies that her grandmother loved then classic Spanish music was filling the air her family struggled with the fear that she or one of her working family members might bring the virus home Despite Rueda and her family’s precautions Rueda and other family members also contracted COVID-19 in early 2021 was the family matriarch; the glue that kept them together the family keeps her grandmother’s door closed to avoid reminders of their painful loss “It was someone in the family who gave her COVID,” Rueda said “We don’t know who and it’s kind of an unspoken topic.” Rueda lives in a multigenerational household which increases the risk of accidentally spreading the virus to older family members Currently the leading demographic for COVID cases in Florida is Hispanics/Latinos according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) The CDC says Hispanics account for 24% of COVID cases “There are many people in our community that for financial reasons or work arrangements live together in close quarters which facilitates the spread of COVID,” Mayra E the Director of Community Outreach at Healthcare Network of SWFL There is a cultural aspect to this transmission of the virus “Hispanic families tend to be bigger and have a lot of generations of one family that live in one household,” Hispanic resident of Lee County Lilliam Roman said Multigenerational households are common because they maintain Hispanic culture Older generations pass experiences and stories to the new generations in the household This type of living arrangement also provides families with a better sense of community Hispanic culture typically thrives on community whereas American culture values individualism Multigenerational households are a cultural reason COVID is running rampant through the Hispanic community there are 10,442 Hispanic multigenerational households according to the Center for Public Integrity While cultural aspects contribute to higher rates of transmission some in the Hispanic community believe the true culprit may be inequity “The main reason this is happening is because COVID-19 is worsening inequities that had already existed and are making it even harder for Latino communities to achieve good health,” said Dr. Amelie G. Ramirez, leader of the Salud America program Salud America is a national program devoted to improving the health of Latinos The Hispanic/Latino community has faced inequities for decades Ramirez and others believe COVID has amplified the inequitable access to quality healthcare “Latinos may be distrustful of a COVID-19 vaccine because of targeted misinformation and experiences with implicit bias and discrimination in the doctor’s office,” Dr Mayra Vargas-Rivera of the Healthcare Network said there is a lot of misinformation out there on social media resulting in many people being scared of getting the vaccine “Whenever you have questions about COVID or the vaccines get informed by a qualified health professional and follow professional guidelines based on science- not hearsay,” Vargas-Rivera said “Also do not let your guard down and continue to wear masks As of late May 2021, 67% of unvaccinated adults had heard at least one COVID vaccine myth and either believed it to be true or were not sure That study was published by the non-profit Kaiser Family Foundation KFF describes itself as a non-partisan source for national healthcare information Puerto Rican resident of Lee County Angelica Carire is skeptical about the COVID vaccine “People with the vaccine are getting just as sick as those who don’t,” Carire said “I think the media is creating miscommunication.” Carire acknowledged that misinformation is affecting a huge part of the Hispanic community “Some don’t have much access to information,” Carire said “Part of the problem is that if someone already has a misconception of the care they need they may feel like they’re putting themselves at risk by seeking help.” agree with Carire when it comes to lack of access “Access to medical doctors and information is the most important,” Roman said and not everyone has the right information about COVID testing and vaccinations.” A significant misconception among unvaccinated Latinos is that getting vaccinated will cost them money, with 52% believing it will This information comes from the Kaiser Family Foundation government has provided vaccines free of charge Health insurance is not required to get the vaccine Roman said money and access to medical aid and information would benefit the Hispanic community Ramirez of Salud America said that the Hispanic/Latino community needs clear language to fight misinformation She suggests using messages tailored to the health literacy levels of the target audience removing difficult biological or chemical terms from messages and explaining terms that have technical meanings even if rooted in misinformation or conspiracy may invalidate or upset your audience,” Dr “It is better to avoid passing judgement and be a helpful source that can answer questions and concerns about a COVID-19 vaccine.” The team at Salud America created the Latino COVID-19 Vaccine “Change of Heart” Bilingual Storytelling Campaign. The campaign, also in Spanish shares the stories of real Latinos who overcame misinformation “We want our families to be able to get back together," Dr "We want to be able to do our jobs and go to school safely We want things to get back to normal as much as possible The best way to achieve what we want is to get the vaccine and booster shots right when they are available because they are safe Lauren Lee Brumbaugh (Laufenberg) of Shohola Lauren had a love for anything nature and captured it with her camera wherever she went She made sure everyone around her knew they were loved and cherished A small private graveside ceremony was held for Lauren and the family will plan a memorial service next spring for any friends and family that want to come and celebrate her beautiful life Lauren wished donations be made to the Katherine Anne Tenny Cat Shelter 2020 at 10:33 am ET.css-79elbk{position:relative;}Over 100 Northport High School students were inducted into the school’s Math Honor Society on Jan (Courtesy: Northport-East Northport Union Free School District)NORTHPORT NY — More than 100 Northport High School students were the first to be inducted into the school’s newly formed chapter of the New York State Math Honor Society on Jan pledging to maintain and model leadership skills knowledge and passion as they pursue deeper interests in mathematics "I will support all objectives of the Northport High School Math Honor Society," they said Superintendent of Schools Robert Banzer congratulated the students and thanked attendees before turning the microphone over to the event’s keynote speaker and salutatorian of the Class of 2018 The closing remarks were made by October Mathematics Student of the Month Danielle Levanti Congratulations to everyone: Theo Amendola Get more local news delivered straight to your inbox.
