Hello everyone,

This is the automatic reply I got back when I sent out the story about Chris Garau.  I do not know anything other than what is in this message.  I am sending this because so many of you know Rob and might want to be able to send a note. I will send more information as I get it.

Hell everyone,

Here is an article from the local paper about Jaime Garau's grandson.  The baton has been passed and the tradition continues on with the next generation.

Memorial services for Ben Carlson

Hello everyone,

The final plans for the memorial services for Ben Carlson have been completed.

This Sunday there will be a paddleout near the Newport Pier at 9 AM.  This is primarily a time for family and friends.  Then there will be an evening memorial on the beach at Tower 68, near Orange Street.  This will be a time for everyone to participate.  This is where we can show our respect for his life, to give encouragement to his family and to honor him for his service to the community.

I was touched to hear that several lifeguard departments have offered to help the Newport Lifeguard Department by covering their towers so the Newport guards may participate in the memorial services.   This will be a strong example of how lifeguards stand together and care for one another especially during a time of great sorrow.

Lifeguard drowns

This message is for those who might not have been able to read a local paper today. More information will come out in the next few days, but this is enough to let you know that one of our own died while attempting to serve his community.

Newport Beach lifeguard drowned Sunday during a rescue attempt near the city's pier. Officials said it was the first time a city lifeguard had died in the line of duty.

Ben Carlson, a 15-year veteran Newport Beach lifeguard, was pulled from the ocean by colleagues, officials announced during an evening news conference. They had been frantically searching for him after he disappeared under 10-foot waves while attempting to rescue a swimmer, authorities said. As Carlson, 32, reached the swimmer, both were hit by the waves; the swimmer made it back to shore, but Carlson disappeared.

The loss shocked the close-knit public safety department in Newport Beach.

"It's been a very difficult time," said police Sgt. Penny Freeman.

Newport Beach has experienced dangerous rip currents since Friday, and lifeguards have been busy during the holiday weekend making rescues, Freeman said. There was another near-drowning earlier Sunday, she said.

Carlson "was in the water to effect a rescue and had some distress at that time," Freeman said. More details will be forthcoming as the investigation into what happened gets underway, she said.

Newport Beach Fire Chief Scott Post said Carlson entered the water just after 5 p.m. Lifeguards located him about 8 p.m. and delivered him to waiting paramedics on the pier. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

It was a tragic ending to what had been a crowded and sunny weekend at one of Southern California's most picturesque coastlines. Twitter quickly filled with condolences.
