PHOTO OP-ED: Safety gear for the rescue boat

Donations from the Ozaukee chapter of the Great Lakes Sports Fishermen (GLSF) and Saukville Walmart employees and the Walmart Foundation have provided equipment for the Ozaukee County Sheriff’s Office rescue boat. A gift of $1,000 from GLSF was used to buy inflatable life jackets for the rescue boat crew, including its two K9 members. At the check presentation were (from left) crew member Ray Meyer, Sheriff’s Cpl. Becky Ronan, K9 Rev, Bob Hammen of GLSF, Ozaukee County Emergency Management Director Scott Ziegler and Deputy Emergency Management Director Bobby Koslick. The Walmart donation of $2,500 was used to buy dry suits and other equipment for the boat’s rescue swimmer team. Walmart employees and rescue boat crew members were photographed on the boat in the Port Washington marina.
