Jeff Update
a. This is what occurred per Ian and Ben:
Ian and Ben showed up to kite in BV around 2:30 p.m. The
wind was on-shore and blowing over 30 mph. While on the
water Ian noticed another vehicle pull up and recognized it
to be Jeff Niemi's. It is important to correctly note
because Jeff showed up to kite alone; Ian and Ben did not
know he was coming. Ben kept watching for Jeff to get on
the water, but he never did, so Ben went in to investigate.
Ben walked up the beach to find Jeff, but didn't see him
immediately, so Ben walked up towards the houses and saw
Jeff up against a wall. Ben ran over to him to see if he
was all right, saw he was not, and waved Ian in off the
water. As soon as Ian was in and he got to Jeff, Ben ran to
the car to call Megan. Megan and Kevin then called Char.
Ian administered emergency first aid, and kept Jeff still.
While they were with Jeff, Ian noticed Jeff's harness
spreader bar was broken. It was an aluminum windsurfing
spreader bar, NOT the stainless steel kitesurfing spreader
bar. Windsurfing spreader bars are not designed to take the
load of the kite. Ian assumed that while Jeff was
attempting to "self-launch" from his car, the bar broke and
caused the kite to take on full power, and drag him down the
beach into the seawall. Ian left Ben with Jeff to go talk
to the neighbors to try and get a timeline on the accident.
They said they saw the kite fly over and the bar hit their
window 30-45 minutes prior. They went out to look, but
didn't see Jeff. Ian went back to Jeff and waited until
Char and the ambulance showed up.
b. There are two unsung heros that need to be identified
and given thanks to and acknowledgement of their incredible
assistance -- Ian Sanders and Ben Skaggs. These two fine
young men were Jeff's true angels and first responders. If
Ben had not been curious as to Jeff's whereabouts and then
tenacious in walking up the beach looking for Jeff, and
without Ian's first aid skills and quick assessment, in all
likelihood, Jeff would not be here today. Betsy O'Leary
c. 5/7/11 10am: I was offline all day yesterday as I
needed to rest. I just spoke to Char and Jeff is doing
incredibly well, he made it through 3 surgeries to his
shoulder arm and hip. Thankfully he is in great physical
shape and has been able to withstand the trauma that his
body has incurred. The Doctors at Amerimed are incredible
and he is getting the best of care. Keep the prayers
coming....
Kimberly Ford
d. 5/7/11 2:30pm: Hello this is Jeff Niemi’s son Ryan.
Thank you for all your help and contributions with the
blood drive. Everyone contributed immensely. Jeff is doing
well, he had internal surgeries on Wednesday, orthopedic
surgeries on Thursday, and his last calf graft this morning.
We are trying to get him air-vac’d to Tucson, AZ this
Monday. Jeff has limited insurance so we are going to try
to come up with a fundraising project to help with his
recovery and air-vac to a trauma care at University Medical
Tucson. I'll post a future column concerning the
fundraising. All of you guys helped him with the blood
drive and I appreciate how everyone rallied together in this
community. Thank you all for you efforts and help. Any
questions or suggestions on fundraising can be forwarded to
my email:
ryanniemi@yahoo.com
Thanks all very much and keep Jeff in your prayers…

Ventana.View@gmail.com - Our neighbors to the north
a. Meteor Shower. Conditions are ideal for the Eta Aquarids
this year, because the Moon is absent from the sky during
the predawn hours. The shower is forecast to peak on the
morning of Friday, May 6th, with good activity from the 4th
through the 8th. As the name Eta Aquarids suggests, all of
this shower's meteors appear to radiate from a spot near the
northeastern corner of the constellation Aquarius. The
higher a shower's radiant is in the sky, the more meteors
you can see, and you won't see any meteors at all when the
radiant is significantly below the horizon. In the case of
the Eta Aquarids, the radiant doesn't rise until long after
midnight, and it reaches its highest in the sky well after
sunrise. So the best time to watch for meteors is anywhere
from one to two hours before sunrise. Earlier than that, the
radiant is too low — any later, the sky is too bright. From
