Huntington Councilman Mark Cuthbertson recently sponsored a resolution to accept special signs from the Coast Guard Auxiliary under a program to encourage the use of life jackets. The Coast Guard Auxiliary Division 22 out of Eaton's Neck was recently awarded a boating safety grant from the BoatU.S. Foundation for Boating Safety & Clean Water for the purposes of a massive boater awareness campaign. The “Wear It!” signs are expected to remind boaters of their responsibility to wear personal floatation devices and to increase overall awareness of safe boating habits. Boating Safety Week takes place from May 17 to 23. With the signs above are Councilman Stuart P. Besen, Cpt. Anthony Wuestman of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Cuthbertson, Supervisor Frank P. Petrone, Councilwoman Glenda A. Jackson and Marine Officer Richard Rothamel.
