 It's July and it's getting hot, just like the deals at Appalachian Wireless. All month get the Simpsons Galaxy S8 for just a penny with a two-year agreement. But don't wait because the deal ends soon. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Many conservation officers with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife are spending their 4th of July on the water, and Sergeant Eric Thomas spent part of his day on Dewey Lake. There's a lot of things to do with recreational boating. It could be anything for making sure that you have enough PFD life jackets on board for every person on the boat, making sure that children under the age of 12 have their life jacket on while the boat's underway. And he was able to conduct several boat inspections while on the water. That's got expired registration right there. And he's breaking the idle speed zone. I'm going to go ahead and make this stop. With this particular stop, Sergeant Thomas found there was no required fire extinguisher, which for safety reasons threatened to put an end to this day on the water. When it comes to the fire extinguisher, we're not allowed to leave them out here without one, so he will have to go to a place of business and purchase one before he can stay out here. A lot of the stuff that we see is typically novice boaters. They purchase a boat, but they may have never driven a boat or been on a boat much in their life. But one of the biggest violations is alcohol, which is prohibited on all public lakes in eastern Kentucky, and you can get a DUI on a boat. We can either bring them to the bank and give field sobriety, or if we have to, we'll do field sobriety from the waterways, and we've got different testing that we're allowed to do by law. If they do fail our field sobriety test, then they will be arrested and taken to the local detention center. A list of current boating regulations can be found online or in a free Kentucky fishing and boating guide that can be found any place fishing licenses are sold. You know, like I said, we're not out there ruining your weekend, we're just trying to keep you safe. In Prestonsburg, I'm Shannon Deskins, EKB News.
