    On Thursday, June 14 at 10 a.m., Cleveland Metroparks Ranger
    Honor Guard will dedicate a newly-installed nautical flag pole at
    Huntington Reservation, above Huntington Beach.



    The pole will proudly fly the following flags: American,
    Cleveland Metroparks and Blue Wave.



    �We felt it was appropriate to have the dedication on Flag Day,�
    said Brian Zimmerman executive director of Cleveland Metroparks.
    �It is a day for all Americans to celebrate and show respect for
    our flag and its proper display.�



    Cleveland Metroparks Ranger Honor Guard will perform the
    ceremony. �This is an honorable action the Honor Guard performs in
    and around Cleveland Metroparks,� remarked Gregory M. Loftus, chief
    of rangers.



    The Blue Wave flag signifies the Park District's certification
    from The Clean Beaches Coalition based on a multi-tiered inspection
    of Huntington Beach.  This includes principles that insured
    compliance with the highest standards in the categories of: 
    superior water quality, universal accessibility, commitment to
    beneficial safety practices, habitat conservation, quality
    information and education, excellence in service and maintenance,
    and proactive erosion management.  Huntington Beach is the
    first beach on Lake Erie and the first in Ohio to meet these
    rigorous standards.



    The Ranger Honor Guard unit was formed in 2005.  The Unit
    of nine rangers represents Cleveland Metroparks at special
    ceremonies.  The Unit takes great pride in its image,
    precision, exhibition and execution of ceremonial tactics in
    honoring Cleveland Metroparks and Ohio's public safety members.

    EDITOR'S NOTE:  Members of the media are
    invited at 10 a.m. for interviews and photo/video
    opportunities.  Huntington Reservation is located off Lake
    Road, between Columbia and Crocker-Bassett roads in Bay
