Volunteers have been hand-painting a lifeguard tower this week in honor of Autism Awareness and Acceptance month.
The bright white lifeguard tower at Torrance Beach contrasts starkly with the marine-blue expanse of the coast.Volunteers, along with ocean lifeguard and designer Scott Snyder, have spent the last few days hand-painting brightly colored hearts on the structure, to spread an important message: That of autism awareness — and that beaches are for everyone.
Palos Verdes resident Jackson Berman supervises as his mom Shaana puts the finishing touches on one of the hearts on the autism awareness lifeguard tower at Torrance Beach on Tuesday, March 28, 2023. Scott Snyder peels away a stencil while working to paint the autism awareness lifeguard tower he designed at Torrance Beach on Tuesday, March 28, 2023.
So Zarsadiaz-Ig combined her dedication to her child with her avocation — and Sirens of Silence was born. The program consists of educational and awareness components. It’s the latter part, she said, that is just now taking off –and in a big way. The Torrance Beach tower, she’s been assured, is here to stay. And with the help of paint donated from Behr “in perpetuity,” its hearts will stay vibrant for years, Zarsadiaz-Ige said.Hanh, in a Tuesday, March 28, email, emphasized the message of inclusivity the lifeguard tower represents. LA County cannot serve residents with a “one -size-fits-all” approach, she said.
