Danny (Dan) Thomas Roundfield (born May 26, 1953 in Detroit, Michigan) is a retired American professional basketball player. The 6'8" forward/center graduated from Chadsey Senior High School in 1971. On the collegiate scene, Roundfield was twice selected to the All-Mid-American Conference Team for Central Michigan University; he was also the 1975 M.A.C. Player of the Year.

Roundfield spent 11 seasons in the National Basketball Association, playing for the Indiana Pacers (1976–1978), Atlanta Hawks (1978–1984), Detroit Pistons (1984–1985), and Washington Bullets (1985–1987). Roundfield earned a reputation as a strong rebounder and tenacious defender, and during his career he was named to five NBA All-Defensive teams and three All-Star teams. His nickname was Dr. Rounds.

In recent years, there are regular tourist drowned while swimming or snorkeling. "It's all stuck in the bureaucratic mill. In the past two years there is still everything to bear as the TPEF fund. We still need, for example with government DIP DOW and talk about where the signs now are allowed to be placed. Management should also formulate legislation the liability, "said the minister. Meanwhile, make the American media reported the drowning of former NBA player Dan Round Field. Minister Oduber said to have been informed.In 2010, announced Minister Oduber stated that there were signs and lifeguards would come and that this would fall under Aruba Marine Foundation.

Hard flow

The announcement of the loss of Round Field yesterday was one thirty in the afternoon inside. According to police spokesperson John Larmonie volunteers were already in the water searching for victims when emergency services arrived. According to witnesses the victim and his wife went snorkeling while currently quite turbulent sea.

Under a rock

Together with an employee of the maritime police, an American diver and a local volunteer, they went into the water to Round Field to search. After a long search, Peterson was the victim along with the American diver. "We found the victim wedged under a rock. At that time he had no snorkel equipment anymore. Given the position he stuck clamped, I think he was in a last attempt tried to himself pushing up, but his strength was short. "When asked if Round Field and his wife served were with warning signs, says Peterson," The flow there is so hard and the waves are so unpredictable. I think the government should prohibit tourists even in that neighborhood to go snorkeling. "

Ex-Hawks All-Star Dan Roundfield drowns in Aruba
Quote
Aruba police spokesman John Larmonie says Roundfield and his wife were caught in strong currents Monday while swimming beyond a protected reef area on the southeastern tip of the island. Roundfield helped his wife to safety but then the current swept away the 59-year-old former player.

Larmonie says a search team found Dan Roundfield's body underwater about 90 minutes after he was swept away, trapped by rocks. Officials said Roundfield's wife was still on the island Tuesday after being treated for shock.

This is very sad news and my prays go out to his family. On a side note it is interesting that when its an accident the lost can be recovered in 90 minutes with only 2 or 3 divers in the area, while other examples of those missing are never found.

Police converged on a mangrove swamp near the Marriott Tuesday, a secluded area behind the beach dotted with fishermen's huts, to search for Natalee Holloway after being told that the young men who were last seen with her had lied about where they dropped her off.

Police converged on a mangrove swamp near the Marriott Tuesday, a secluded area behind the beach dotted with fishermen's huts, to search for Natalee Holloway after being told that the young men who were last seen with her had lied about where they dropped her off. Workers used a firetruck to drain a pond in the middle of the swamp. ....

Mickey John, who was released Monday from the jail where the suspects are being held, said one of those suspects told him that a "very drunk" Holloway was dropped off near the Marriott Hotel, 10 blocks from the Holiday Inn where she had been staying, said John's lawyer, Noriana Pietersz. John said he was told that Holloway was dropped off with another of the suspects near a beach area known as a lovers' lane. ....

Witnesses said that during Tuesday's search, Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, arrived in a police car and became hysterical after talking to officers. "Her body became limp. They had to help her walk," said Denise Leinhardt, a vacationer from Boca Raton, Fla. ....

The secluded area where the search was taking place had been visited earlier in the day by a radio deejay and his friends, who were looking for clues in the disappearance. The deejay, Albert Vrolijk, said he found two pairs of panties, condoms and some duct tape around a kwihi tree.

Construction signs and buoys at Baby Beach         

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8, 2012 10:05



Minister Oduber on Baby Beach, next to her Finance Minister and local resident Mike Meza and include representatives of the Red Cross, and DOW States member Chris Dammers.


SAN NICOLAS - Commissioned by the government next week started with the construction of buoys in the sea near Baby Beach. The buoys must warn swimmers to where they can stand, where only experienced swimmers are allowed to car and from where the current is too hard to safely swim. The reason for the construction is yet another drowning before yesterday. Also, there are warning signs quickly.

This says Minister Otmar Oduber (AVP) for Tourism, Labour and Transport. This morning during a press conference at the popular beach on the east side of the island Oduber told that there are lifeguards. Moreover, he goes to sit down with Infrastructure Minister Benny Sevinger (AVP) to talk about a way to the strong currents there to change or diminish. Direct result of the conference and the action is the drowning of former U.S. basketball player Dan Round Field day before yesterday. The minister says that Aruba must guard against its reputation with visitors. "This is an increasingly popular swimming place. Therefore, in recent times more incidents. Even local people do not always know what's going with the flow here, "said the minister. As in past years hurricanes have come close, the situation is completely changed at Baby Beach, which was strong currents. "We're going to ask Minister Sevinger permanent adjustments to make to that situation," said Oduber. "We have long done to ensure a coordinated approach, but now all services are in order in the next week to two weeks to get this done."

Yesterday, the minister still Amigoe know that the introduction of safety devices on beaches such as Baby Beach two years stuck by red tape. Thus, Directorate of Legislation and Legal Affairs (DWJZ) is still the responsibility of lifeguards to settle. Today the Minister said that with funding from the Tourism Product Enhancement Fund (TPEF) and the Red Cross Aruba Marine Park Foundation as a pilot project lifeguards will introduce at Baby Beach. If it was not said. In 2010, 24 lifeguards, with funding from, inter alia, Aruba Hotel Security Foundation (AHSF), trained and certified. These individuals were never used as a lifeguard.

Pending lifeguards are therefore already posted signs and buoys. Sea Solutions, a company that constructs mooring buoys for hotels, will make a plan for the construction of the buoys. Manager Olyses Mata Rossi indicates that the government has directly approached his company to do this. "We will conduct an investigation into the seabed and will draw a yellow line of buoys to where swimmers may stand. There is a second line, a blue, which indicates that only good swimmers can go behind. Finally, a third line drawn. Behind the orange line, the flow is too hard and it is too dangerous to swim, "said Mata Rossi. These strong currents, combined with the clear water with many fish, according to him the great danger of Eagle Beach. "Snorkelers attention only on the clean water, white sand and the many fish and do not notice that they are entrained by the flow until it is too late and they can not go back," he explains. In addition to the buoys, the presence of a lifeguard find important Mata Rossi. "They can ensure that those who do not read the signs and still goes swimming in time return."

The organization of the addiction conference at the press conference yesterday. With all right Jan van der Straten and in the middle Minister Visser.

ORANGE CITY - The situation of young people is "worrying" according to a recent study by the University of Aruba-school youth. More is known about this, because the results only on a major international conference on addiction and will be announced. This takes place at 26.27 and 28 September.

That was announced yesterday by the organization, Fundacion pa Maneho Adiccion di di Aruba (FMAA) and the Dutch Parnassia Bavo Group where this umbrella organization is working with. 'Congress 2012, addiction? Our care! " is the name of this congress which a variety of professionals in the field of addiction prevention and mental health, and on behalf of the shopkeepers and police speak. The goal is to inform the field about the developments, but says drugs coordinator Jan van der Straten yesterday, a wider audience. "It costs only 100 florins for three days, to make it as accessible as possible. There is on 26 september evening also a free session for parents, teachers and young people aged fourteen years. "There is limited space (up to 84 people) so pre-registration is required. It is an interactive session given by the chairman of the Dutch knowledge institute Trimbos, Jan Walburg, where the goal is to create a program where young people are resilient against addiction.

The announcement of this conference is clear that something is going on among the young. But both the organization and also the present Minister of Health (AVP), would not give details. On the website specially created for the Congress (www.congresverslavingaruba2012.com) states that on the first day at half past eleven in the afternoon Herbert Diaz of the Center for Research & Development of the university the results of a survey 2011-2012 school goes present. The problem is huge, says Van der Straten. One of the goals of the conference is so 'take cognizance of the results', 'with particular concern the situation of young people' is mentioned. Minister Visser talks about a new baseline study that examines where addicts come from. During the conference is therefore to discuss the "weaknesses" in the society in which young people fall prey to. The speakers are talking not only about drug addiction for example, but also about alcohol and gambling.

The Minister and Van der Straten however, argue that the past two years has created an entire revolution in addiction in Aruba. With the privatization of care, the ward can ask of them obliged to treat addicts, the introduction of an emergency line, together with the Capriles Clinic in Curaçao. "You should know how many addicts who were first on the street, in treatment," says Van der Straten. The treatment and rehabilitation centers are filled according to him. There is in the downtown still a hard core of about 25 addicts and consequently is now tried again to get in touch. "But we need not just discriminate. Addicts keep people on the street and not everyone is addicted, but there are also among the mentally ill. "Van der Straten also said that Aruba will soon receive an addiction psychiatrist and a physician addiction and multiple therapists. At the congress in September, he expects at least 300 participants. One of the goals is also to see if there may be regional and international cooperation.
