BEACHWOOD — For the last three decades, Ted DeMott has stood on the banks of the Cedar Creek, watching the launch of kayaks and canoes — after making sure that the boaters had the knowledge and gear for a safe trip.
“If you understand what you are doing and respect the water, you should have no problem out there,” said DeMott, operator of Triple T Canoes in Beachwood. “The problems come when people do neither.”
DeMott rents out the boats which are launched nearby at Double Trouble State Park in Berkeley.
