Life Savers Lost - Borrowed Jackets Not Returned
Rack
The empty rack shown here with Tim Dowdy, the City of Riverbanks Parks Supervisor, had 12 loaner life jackets available to the public that were borrowed but never returned. - photo by VIRGINIA STILL/THE NEWS
There is a life jacket station that was custom-made by Tim Dowdy, the City of Riverbank’s Park Supervisor, put together with old spare parts that now stands empty at Jacob Myers Park. A few weeks ago, Dowdy made his way down to the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District station in Riverbank and borrowed 12 life jackets for public use at Jacob Myers Park. They were on loan to Dowdy from now through September so that people that enjoyed the river could do so by being safe on the water.
