Dangerous Waters UPDATE


I know. It seems like in the summer the only stories we do are heat related/safety stories. At least it feels that way to me. But here's the thing everyone is talking about how hot it is right now. It's only June and we're already seeing highs in the upper 90s. Beyond that, there are a lot of safety concerns with extreme heat.

 

Today we're continuing with the summer safety streak. We're looking into a recent spike in the number of boating accidents in Arkansas. According to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, we've already had 12 accidents this year. We had a TOTAL of 14 in 2008. We are so lucky to have so many amazing lakes here in Arkansas. The problem is sometimes people forget driving a boat has the potential to be just as dangerous as driving a car.

On a lighter note, Friday has arrived and we're looking at a great weekend. I hope you enjoy it!

The Coldest Place in Town


Oh how I wanted to title this entry Ice Ice Baby, but I exhibited some self restraint. We are headed to Imperial Ice today to talk with them about their industry and what it's like to be in the ice business this time of year. I've been told it's close to 16 degrees inside the freezer...I think a coat might be in order.

The interesting thing about today is we aren't doing the interview until 3:00, which is a little later than normal. I like to have my 5 oclock tease written by 4 and my story for 6 written by 5...we'll see how well that works today. Honestly though it's kind of fun to be under a stricter deadline every once and a while. When I was working as the nightside general assignment reporter, I used to go up against my deadline a lot more than I do now that I work on CYN. There's a fun rush that goes with that.

In the meantime, I'm taking story ideas for Friday (is it just me or did it come fast?). Email me at jdean@katv.com or Tweet me @jessicadean.
