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.

Vietnam's nuclear dreams blossom
INSIDE an unheated classroom at the Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology in Hanoi, about 20 young government technicians from Vietnam's incipient nuclear power industry kept on their winter jackets on the first morning of a 10-day workshop on radiation.
The workshop, sponsored by the semi-governmental Japan Atomic Energy Agency, started with radiation physics 101.Woolrich Arctic Parka Down Jackets Outlet The students then collected radiation samples with the help of Japanese specialists and analysed them in a lab built by Japan.
"Nuclear power is important for Vietnam's energy security, but, like fire, it has two sides," said one of the students, Nguyen Xuan Thuy, 27.
"We have to learn how to take advantage of its good side."
As Vietnam prepares to commence one of the world's most ambitious nuclear power programmes, it is scrambling to raise from scratch a field of experts needed to operate and regulate nuclear power plants.
The government, which is beefing up nuclear engineering programmes at its universities and sending increasing numbers of young technicians abroad, says Vietnam will have enough qualified experts to safely manage an industry that is scheduled to grow from one nuclear reactor in 2020 to 10 reactors by 2030.authentic moncler jackets womens
But some Vietnamese and foreign experts said that was too little time to establish a credible regulatory body, especially in a country with wide-spread corruption,Online Canada Goose Parka Jackets Shop poor safety standards and a lack of transparency. They said the ambitious timetable could lead to the kind of weak regulation, as well as collusive ties between regulators and operators, that contributed to the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan last year.
Hien Pham Duy, one of Vietnam's most senior nuclear scientists and an adviser to government agencies overseeing nuclear power, said it had been his "dream for many years" to bring nuclear power to Vietnam.
But he said the government's plans were based on a "lack of vigorous assessment of the inherent problems of nuclear power,canada goose jackets especially those arising in less developed countries".
Hien, a former director of the Dalat Nuclear Research Institute, which houses Vietnam's nuclear research reactor, pointed to the high rates of accidents on Vietnam's roads as the most visible example of a "bad safety culture" that pervaded "every field of activity in the country".
Tran Dai Phuc, a nuclear engineer who worked in the French nuclear industry for four decades and is now an adviser to Vietnam's Ministry of Science and Technology, the ministry in charge of nuclear power, said potential problems were not related to the reactors' technology but to the lack of "democracy as well as the responsibility of personnel,Moncler Parka Jacket Outlet Brown a culture of quality assurance and general safety regarding installation and impact on the environment".
