Sometimes, lightning strikes from unexpected places. For the past year I had been struggling to come up with an idea for the fourth children’s book in my Harry Hawksbill Sea Turtle Adventure series, published by Best Publishing Company. On a sunny July Saturday afternoon this past summer, my ten-year-old grandson Luke Chiappetta opted for some alone time with grandma and grandpa, instead of hanging out at the nearby sports complex between games of his sister’s softball tournament.

Wound cleansing and disinfection
All wounds should be cleansed at each dressing change, before and after debridement, and in the event of contamination using a neutral, nonirritating, nontoxic solution, and routine cleansing should be accomplished with every effort to minimize chemical and/or mechanical trauma.(60-61) An exception to the requirement for routine cleansing may be the recent application of a skin graft or cellular tissue product, which should be left undisturbed; in this case the surrounding skin should be cleansed.

Winter time seems appropriate for re-introducing "Cold Water Diving: A Guide to Ice Diving" especially for those of you who experienced last week's nationwide cold snap. John Heine, experienced writer, Diving Safety Instructor, and Polar Programs officer, has been diving in the cold waters of the Arctic and Antarctic for decades.
