Reduce the risk of fires onboard … Fires are among the more dangerous, yet preventable, accidents that can occur onboard a boat. For that reason, the nonprofit Sea Tow Foundation, in conjunction with Sea Tow Services International – the nation’s leading marine assistance provider – offers boaters these important fire prevention tips. Fast action combined with a cool head are critical in fighting boat fires, as they can spread rapidly. Following these procedures not only can help boaters prevent a fire, or contain it if one breaks out, but also could help them save lives. The Sea Tow Foundation’s offers these boat fire prevention tips: Have proper extinguishers Ensure you have the proper size and type of marine fire extinguishers on board. Depending on the size of your boat, you may need more than one fire extinguisher. The U.S. Coast Guard has this information in its Federal Requirements brochure, which is available online at www.uscgboating.org/ fedreqs/default.html. Mount the fire extinguishers in readily accessible locations so that you can get to them in an emergency. Inspect your fire extinguishers regularly to make sure they are fully charged and have not expired. If you have a fixed firefighting system, have it inspected and/or serviced according to manufacturer recommendations or at least annually. Be careful when refueling Most boat fires are caused by fueling or electrical issues. Before fueling, have all passengers leave
and save lives
the boat and shut off all flames (stoves, ovens, grills, etc.). Close all windows, doors and openings to prevent fumes from entering the boat. While fueling, keep the nozzle in contact with the tank to prevent sparks and do not overfill the tank, so the fuel has room to expand. Wipe up any spills and dispose of the rags. Never smoke while fueling. After fueling, open all the windows, doors and openings and run the exhaust blower for four minutes. Before starting the engine, perform a “sniff” test of the bilge and engine compartment. If you smell gas, continue to use the blower until all of the fumes are gone. To prevent electrical issues, frequently inspect the electrical connections. Also, inspect any shore power connection lines that you may be using before plugging them into your boat. If any wires are frayed or you see sparks, immediately shut off the power source and get the issue repaired before using it again. Be cautious when using heaters in enclosed spaces, especially when unattended. What to do in case of fire Make sure that everyone on your boat is wearing a life jacket in case they have to jump overboard. If possible, position the boat so that the fire is downwind and have all passengers move upwind, away from the fire Never use water on a gasoline, oil, or grease fire as it may cause the fire to spread. Additionally, water should not be used on electrical fires due to risk of electrical shock.
About the Sea Tow Foundation In 2007, Sea Tow Founder and CEO Capt. Joe Frohnhoefer created the Sea Tow Foundation – a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization – to promote safe boating practices. The foundation’s goal is to reduce accidents, fatalities and property damage related to recreational boating. For more information, visit boatingsafety.com.

How the Tichigan Lake
FIREWORKS came to be
By Lynn Bauman CONTRIBUTOR
Prior to 1971 Tichigan Lake had no fireworks. The day was spent by individuals enjoying the day at their cottages, going boating, and shooting off their own caps and running around with sparklers. Erwin (“Kruschev” as he was always called) Piotrowski and his wife Phyllis, who were the owners at the time of the Fox Point Resort, which was located on the west side of Tichigan Lake, had their granddaughter Nancy who came out with her parents to see what Tichigan Lake had to offer in the way of fireworks. Nancy was very disappointed that Tichigan Lake had nothing to offer in the way of fireworks. She expressed her disappointment stating “What’s July 4 without any bangs!” Not wanting to disappoint Nancy, Kruschev decided to check around and it was a customer named Ray “Moose” Ackerman who came into the picture. He loved to shoot off the fireworks as a hobby in his yard. He was asked to bring his display to Fox Point Resort and shoot them off the shoreline of Tichigan Lake. So, on July 4, 1971 the first display
The 44th annual Tichigan Lake fireworks display will be at dusk on Saturday, July 4.
was set off. Even though it only lasted 10 minutes, it was well appreciated. From 1971 to 1981 it was Kruschev who planned the annual 10 minute display. For several years, Kruschev would go around and collect donations for the annual display. As the years passed so did the fireworks. So, the Tichigan Advancement Association took over raising the funds. Ken Brazeau and Gil Westline were now in charge. However, Kruschev still did some soliciting. Kruschev’s daughter Barb Krizan had helped her father with many of the fundraising events. In 1981 Kruschev became ill and asked his daughter Barb Krizan to head the annual fireworks display. Respecting his wishes, she took over and headed the yearly celebration. Barb told him “Dad I can’t do what you did,” and he responded “No, I think you’ll do better.” It was decided that a Tichigan
Fireworks Committee should be formed. Two members of each organization were selected to be on the committee. Barb had been the President and Secretary since 1987 until her death on Jan. 5, 2012. In the early years the Tichigan Fireworks Committee’s meetings have been held in varies locations. From the Tichigan Fire House, to private homes and then finally at Ice Herman’s Resort. The first meeting was held in the cold in front of a committee president’s garage because he wasn’t home. Since 2012 the monthly meetings have been held at What About Linda’s? In 1986 the annual fireworks display almost ended. There were only three committee members left and two of the committee members did not want to continue. Barb felt that the annual fireworks display was still an integral part of the area’s summer. She didn’t know what to do, so she placed an ad in the Waterford Post for volunteers for the fireworks committee. A few people did respond to her plea because they didn’t want the annual fireworks to come to an end, and to date Tichigan Lake still has a continuing annual fireworks display. Also Barb’s
father Kruschev had died in April of 1986. So there were two major blows to the annual fireworks display. When Ray Ackerman passed away in 1987, Bartolotta’s Fireworks Company did the annual fireworks display, until 1990 when J&M Displays took over. Also in 1987 something was added. The committee wanted the homeowners along the shoreline to purchase and light flares as the grand finale went into the air to show their appreciation. It was also the year that it was decided to add more color to the annual fireworks display. In August 2000, the Tichigan Fire Chief announced to the Town Board that the fireworks needed to be moved to Jensen Park for safety reasons. The large crowd of spectators at Dooley’s made accessibility difficult. This would mean the Fourth of July fireworks would no longer be on the water. After viewing Jensen Park, the Fireworks Committee decided they wanted to stay on the water. A meeting was held with the Tichigan Fire Chief, the Fireworks Committee and J&M Displays. It was decided to get barges for the 2001 display. This resulted in launching the fireworks from the floating barges rented
THE BREEZE • JULY 2015 • PAGE 5
from a local pier service. So the fireworks remained at Dooley’s (formerly known as Ice Herman’s). In July 2002, for the first time in 31 years, the Fourth of July fireworks display was delayed one hour and 10 minutes because of two major factors, both dealing with the challenges of shooting fireworks from barges in the middle of the lake. That year the fireworks and the finale were to be done all from the barges. The morning of the fireworks, two barges were dropped off and a third barge that was already on the lake would be used for the grand finale. When it was deemed that the third barge was not safe, another barge needed to be brought in. It didn’t get there until 12:30 p.m. This meant that the employees of J&M were behind schedule from the beginning. There was an additional problem with the wire connections which kept getting wet due to the waves crashing against the barges from nearby boats and jet skis on the lake. Because of the waves J&M needed to place all the shells in plastic
bags before putting them into the mortars. Once the three barges made it to the middle of the lake (about 10 p.m.) all the wires had to be reconnected and checked because the barges were tied together and had jostled. This made a lot of spectators very unhappy, but safety always comes first. Also in 2002, the Tichigan fire chief decided that he wanted another location for the 2003 fireworks display. He suggests Barb Krizan and her committee brainstorm on how to waterproof the barge, and exhaust all possibilities for finding a new launching site and accommodate all the needs of the pyro technicians to put on a safe and timely fireworks display. In 2003, after searching several areas, a location on the northeast side of Tichigan Lake was selected and those neighbors let J&M use the property to load the fireworks into the canisters and to put the fireworks display on the barges. This location was used until 2008 when a new location needed to be found due to weeds in this area.
Since Dooley’s closed in 2006 and Tom Hinz bought the property, Barb approached Tom to see if the fireworks could be loaded and pulled out to the lake from his property because there really wasn’t a good spot to load the fireworks and pull the barges into the middle of the lake. He said yes. And ever since 2008 the fireworks have been loaded and shot off at the old Dooley’s Knot Inn (formerly known as Ice Herman’s). Fireworks displays back in the 1970s only lasted 10 minutes. Today they last one-half hour. The Tichigan Lake fireworks display continues to be the best in the area. On June 16, 1996, Barb said, “Her father would never have dreamed back then that what began as basically a neighborhood show costing several hundred dollars would grow to become one of the area’s biggest holiday attraction!” Lynn Bauman is a member of the Tichigan Lake Fireworks Committee, www.tichiganlakefireworks.com.
How it happens The Tichigan Lake fireworks display is celebrating its 44th year in 2015 and wouldn’t be possible without the dedication and hard work of the volunteers on the Tichigan Fireworks Committee and the community that supports the event. The non-profit organization relies on donations and fundraising efforts to put in the display each year. According to the committee’s webiste, planning for the following year’s fireworks display begins almost before the spent rockets hit the water and become more focused around March. According to the committee, about 1,000 boats fill Tichigan Lake every year for the best seat in the house. The Muskego Waterbugs perform at 7 p.m., providing entertainment while everyone gathers and waits for dusk to fall. The fireworks display is put on by Iowa-based J&M Displays, one of the one of the largest suppliers of fireworks in the Midwest. The company has been providing the fireworks display since 1990. Up until 2001 the fireworks were shot off from shore at the old Dooley’s Knot Inn. In 2002 a decision was made to shoot the fireworks off barges, largely to minimize the danger to nearby spectators. The Fireworks Committee relies on community support to produce the annual display. For more information, or to donate, go to info@tichiganlakefireworks.com.

It’s all about that bass
Get the most out of spring fishing adventures The days of using a stick, some string and a worm are as much a part of American culture as apple pie and baseball. Unlike that time, there are now many choices for anglers this spring, depending on where you’ll be fishing. In fact, selecting your gear is half the fun. But for starters, set aside the rods, reels, rigs, jigs and tackle, it’s also just as important to remember these items that are often overlooked: Use sunscreen You only have to suffer from sun poisoning one time to understand the relationship between sun and water. While the water may be cold and temperatures out-side chilly, sun reflecting off the water will still give you a burn. A sweat proof sunscreen that won’t run and sting the eyes is ideal, as is one that won’t leave a greasy residue that could adversely affect your grip.
Wear a base layer A thin T-shirt is a must as a base layer, better if it is made of fabric that wicks away moisture. There are even some that are made to be water repellent and stain resistant with anti-odor properties for those in warmer climes. Since this is the layer that is in direct contact with your skin, you want something that will allow moisture to escape as you sweat.
Cover your head Hats with a hard-hat liner will keep your neck, ears and head warm in cold weather. For warmer climates, a wide-brimmed hat will guard against sunburn, overheating and overexposure.
