Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke read a proclamation for Drowning Awareness Month during the Aug. 10 City Council regular meeting.

The proclamation included mention of the “ABCs of Water Safety.” Those are adult supervision, barriers that keep small children from getting into water unsupervised, classes and devices, such as U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets for non-swimmers.

Hartke also mentioned the city’s “Water You Doing” informational and water safety emphasis campaign.

Nobody in my family has ever used that word for this game. Mexico can lose to the United States in almost any sport and take it well. Basketball, baseball, a bad night in the ring.
