One death is too many, that is for certain.
I have to ask though, are we seeing a trend here? Is this actually happening frequently?
Word of mouth and the local media can work for now- everyone in town knows what happened, hopefully they will remember if they have a notion to swim across the river. Let’s not overthink this and try to solve a problem that does not exist.

It seems drownings have become an almost yearly occurrence.
