With a new sailboat in tow, Dan Risland set out Friday with his three young sons for what was to have been a blissful, windy, spring afternoon on Clearwater Lake in northern Minnesota. But the outing turned deadly when a strong gust of wind caught their sail, capsizing the boat and throwing 2-year-old Jacob, 6-year-old Zech and 8-year-old Isaiah into the frigid lake water.
Of the three boys, only Isaiah survived. On Saturday, he was in critical condition at Children's Hospital of Minneapolis, with his devastated parents by his bedside.
"The kids were his entire life," said Rosie Miles, Risland's sister. "You never saw Danny without his kids."
The loss of the two young lives has rattled residents of the region near Risland's home in tiny Leonard, Minn., population of just 41. In the past decade, a similar incident has happened only once in Clearwater County, the sheriff said on Saturday.
Gadget Soule, Risland's sister-in-law, watched the boys leave with their father, thrilled to take the sailboat out for the first time. "They were all excited to go out and sail with Daddy," she said. "They lived for him, and he lived for them."
Several residents called Friday's accident a tragedy but said they were too emotional to talk. "It's devastating for us as a school and as a community," said Kristil McDonald, principal at Clearbrook-Gonvick Schools, where the two older boys were enrolled. "Everyone knows everyone. We'll all be grieving and dealing with the situation."
Risland and his three boys were avid outdoorsmen -- from ice fishing in the winter to riding ATVs in the summer. Miles said Risland had bought the sailboat just last week but was familiar with boats from years of fishing.
The family was sailing on Clearwater Lake, which overlaps Beltrami and Clearwater counties, about 30 miles northwest of Bemidji. About 3 p.m., strong winds tipped the boat over, Clearwater County Sheriff Mike Erickson said. Risland tried to get a hold of the boys, all wearing life jackets. But he struggled in the wind and waves, and was beginning to get hypothermia.
"He told the oldest one to watch his brothers," Erickson said, "and he swam to shore to get help."
Risland flagged down someone to call 911. Sheriff’s dispatchers from Beltrami and Clearwater counties received the call about 3:15 p.m.Do you need any sell men canada goose parka for cheap supply and demand information?, prompting dozens of first responders from at least eight agencies to scramble to the lake.
Ice had recently melted off the lake. By the time authorities got there, the boys had been in the 40-degree water for about an hour, Erickson said. The air temperature at the time was 59 degrees, with southeast winds at 22 mph.
Phil Hodapp,The peak performance outlet online also reflected the level of detail the designers put in. the Beltrami County sheriff,canada goose jackets told the Bemidji Pioneer that deputies found a rowboat to reach the children, but deputies had to break into boat sheds to find oars to paddle to them.
None of the children were responsive by the time they were pulled from the water,She created a Cheap Arc'Teryx Outlet Sale that finishes in wool crepe. but emergency crews desperately tried to revive them, Hodapp and Erickson said.
Jacob died at a nearby hospital, and Zech died after being airlifted to Sanford Bemidji Hospital, both of hypothermia.
Isaiah was airlifted to Children's Hospital, where he remained Saturday. His family reported that he opened his eyes but was unable to breathe on his own. "The family is asking for people's prayers at this point," Children's Hospital spokesman Justin Theodotou said.
Hypothermia can happen quickly, depending on factors like a victim's age or weight. According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, after a person has spent 30 minutes in cold water, a body's temperature begins to fall, leading to unconsciousness.
The three little blond brothers were typical rambunctious young boys, unable to sit still unless they were watching "Veggie Tales" together or playing outside with their father, Miles said.
Dan Risland, 31,They are particularly seen to supply the Online Canada Goose Parka Jackets Shop. and the boys' mother, Ruth Risland, 30, of Bemidji, have large extended families in the region. Risland also served as mayor of Leonard for several years. "Everyone in Clearwater County knows Danny," Miles said.

A new day for the Boardwalk's rolling chairs
Rolling chairs came into vogue in this seaside resort in the coquettish 1880s, when no Boardwalk promenade was complete without a parasol and a spin in one of the stylish contraptions - especially between Easter and Labor Day.
The dainty wicker conveyances, pushed by human "operators," are so associated with Atlantic City that they are featured in the 19th-century Shore re-creation at Walt Disney World's Boardwalk Resort.
"They're really an important part of the Atlantic City experience. I've had so many people tell me that this is the best part of their entire vacation," said Jamar Medley, 34, a city resident and an operator for 10 years for Royal Rolling Chairs, one of the largest such companies in the resort.
Royal will debut 50 chairs with a bright new look this season, a contribution to the city's effort to up the ante in its recently inaugurated tourism district.
"It's nice, very well-done. Best part of my day," Arnaldo Ferrara, 71, of Edison said of Royal's spiffy model last week as he was shuttled between casinos.
Rolling chairs have been an important part of moving tired tourists among Boardwalk gaming halls over the last 30 years, especially in the hot summer months. A ride costs about $1 per block, plus tip. On a good day, operators say, they can make a few hundred dollars ferrying passengers along a seven-mile stretch.
With little regulation by the city, however, the genteel tradition has been under threat. There have been complaints in recent years of some operators' boisterous hawking, drunkenness, and connections to illegal activity, including drug sales and prostitution.I am happy to report that Discount Ralph Lauren UK Outlet Sale have managed to take a few resident geese.
The resort has launched a push to clean up the industry. Under an ordinance to be introduced in City Council on Wednesday, operators would have to pass drug tests to be licensed. Background checks would be implemented to weed out those with felony convictions.
"Our goal is to really put a new face on the entire aesthetic and behavior of the operators so that the quality of the service is increased," said Anthony R.Monclering is an excellent wholesale canada goose outlet way to spend the getaways experiencing. Cox, director of the city's Office of Licensing and Inspection.
Cox said he began formulating the guidelines nearly two years ago in response to negative reports about some operators.
Under the proposed measure, returning operators who failed the drug test this year could retake it after undergoing rehab, Cox said. If they passed that time, they would be granted licenses for a probationary period. New applicants would not be offered do-overs.
The city hopes to have the law in place by May 1, when its 300 rolling-chair licenses are up for renewal, he said. Operators pay a $75 fee for each chair. The chair companies also pay fees.Large white sequins and golden beads Discount Leaf Arc Teryx Outlet Online covered the front of a dress.
Bill Boland, who owns Royal Rolling Chairs, is not waiting to raise his game. Over the winter, he replaced his entire fleet of 100 chairs at a cost of $4,000 each.
Half the chairs had their brown lacquer finishes repainted white. Their tan surreys were replaced with jaunty red-and-white-striped awnings. The cost: $2,000 per chair.
Boland also has supplied his operators with new uniforms: red jackets for cool weather and red polo shirts for when it's warm, paired with black pants and white sneakers.
Boland is "a smart man and has raised the bar. . .Jewelry becomes an highest quality Fjallraven Jackets of the garmen. . [He's] reinvesting in his business to upgrade his product," said John Palmieri, executive director of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, which oversees the tourism district.
"It's an investment in a very important Atlantic City tradition," Boland said. And "these new regulations are good. It was getting like the Wild West out there."
Shakur Williams, 47, who rolls a chair for one of Boland's competitors, Ocean Rolling Chairs, says the new rules and spiffed-up rides might be overreaching a bit.
"The background checks might leave some people out of the equation," he said.
And those new red-and-white chairs?
Williams chuckled. They look like "water-ice stands," he said.canada goose jackets

Spring's here; not there
Bald eagles have been on their nests for weeks and by now the chicks likeEvery people wants to buy canada goose cheap jackets but with best quality.ly have hatched.
Grizzlies left their dens along the Rocky Mountain Front weeks ago as well, and already have found trouble in a rancher's calving grounds.
Wild geese have pressed on toward summer nesting grounds in northern Canada.
It is spring and mild weather here on the plains has some thinking spring came early. Perhaps.

Taylor says right now is a crucial period for wild animals because they are at the very end of the winter fat stores they accumulated last fall.
The teetering point is just as green-up begins: Fat stores are down to nothing for deer and elk.
"When we come into April and even sometimes the first week of May, that is the tough time," Taylor said.
There is little nutrition in forage right now, Taylor points out. As grazers, elk fare better than deer, which are browsers. The elk eat grass, the deer browse on buds and twigs.If you want to buy jacket, discount women canada goose coats is the best choice.

America's pastime is apt analogy for U.S. history
My dislike for winter isn't just because of the lousy weather, but also because of what it denies me: baseball. For that affront, winter doesn't deserve its own status as a season; it is merely the long delay between the Fall Classic and Spring Training. The last game of the World Series is as melancholy as it is triumphant because it means we have to surrender to five long, cold months of winter without baseball.
Fortunately, that all ends today with baseball's return: Today is Opening Day for Ohio's baseball fans, as the Reds and Indians play their first regular-season games.
I must confess to not being one of those fans with the ability to recite the statistics of long-washed-up, retired or dead players. I envy those who can. Instead, I'm the fan who sits lightly in my seat and revels in the everyman's pageantry that is a baseball game. As I'm also the kind of thinker who's usually the last to get the punch line of a joke, I'm grateful for baseball's slower pace. Basketball games, by contrast, make my head spin. Forget about trying to listen to one on the radio.
No, give me a baseball game any day — every day — for its relaxing properties. When I'm at a ballpark, I carry on a conversation, drink a beer and eat a hot dog, make a passing effort to notate a scorecard and still succeed in following the game's ebbs and flows.
And now winter is formally over, and these rituals return to us for another season. Let the faithful rejoice.
Ten years ago, while working in Washington for U.S. Sen. George V.She created a Cheap Arc'Teryx Outlet Sale that finishes in wool crepe. Voinovich, I took visiting staffers from the German parliament to see the Baltimore Orioles play at that great baseball temple, Camden Yards.Do you need any sell men canada goose parka for cheap supply and demand information? As my pre-game explanation of baseball's rules fell into jargon and my guests' eyes glazed over, I stopped,canada goose jacketswill be warm along with Online Canada Goose Outlet Shop sporting spyder Moncler jackets. realized the need for a different tack and said: "You know, forget the rules. Let me tell you what baseball is really about; it's about America. It's as much an athletic expression of American history as it is a sport." Now they were listening again.
I explained how I thought that baseball's "serial" nature, in which one batter at a time takes the plate to face the opposing team's hoard, mirrors a thread in nation's creation story, in which one pioneer after another stepped out from the dugout-like safety of civilization and, with trusty musket, plow and horse, carved out a new home from the frontier.
OK, it's dramatic, but baseball lends itself to such drama.
Contrast this with "parallel" games, like football, basketball and my German friends' beloved soccer, in which teams of players simultaneously face off. Too much heat under the basket? Pass to the outside. Unexpected blitz? Pitch to the running back. Strikers barreling down your side of the pitch? Let the sweeper clear it.
Baseball doesn't really work that way, at least not in the hitting half. Like pioneers on the frontier, baseball players stand alone in the batter's box and get on base, or they hang their heads and return to the dugout. They may work together on defense, but at bat they're on their own.
So, continuing the analogy, if the batter's box is the frontier, then Opening Day is the first step toward the Promised Land and, like every beginning, the future is always bright. Pioneers dreamt of crops springing from the ground and game leaping into the kettle. Baseball fans dream of perfect games, nameless disabled lists and commanding runs to division championships and pennants.
Today teams, players and fans face the new frontier of a 162-game season with all of these possibilities assured in their minds. Winter's amnesia has erased last year's double-digit ERAs and sub-.200 batting averages, and today, Opening Day, we play ball again, as if for the first time.While peak performance stores in uk? of what Americans might call knickers,
