At this time there is news coverage about the untimely passing of a young man from our small town of Falls Village CT passing in strong water near a hydaulic power plant in Vermont. This kind of tragedy hits very close to home for me and the news will likely remind people all too well of the seriousness of a turn of events a decade ago when a group of youths had met with trouble in whitewater near the Falls in the village named for them (the only one in the country it turns out.)
Likely every area has its stories from over the years, particularly if there is a dangerous area for swimming
