OWN VOICE. ~ InPerspective by Gregg Dieguez (and lots of concerned residents) —
There has been a recent spike in a longstanding concern mid-Coast: noise from the HMB airport. But there is more to the story than noise, and it’s a complex topic.

The idea for the life-saving stations grew out of the tragic loss of Arunay Pruthi, a 12 year-old boy who was lost while attempting to rescue his younger brother who, while playing on the beach, was knocked off his feet and pulled into the sea by a “sneaker wave”. His little brother was rescued, but Arunay was overtaken by the heavy surf. For approximately fifteen minutes, Arunay’s family and other beachgoers watched helplessly as Arunay attempted to swim back to shore until he finally disappeared below the surface.
