SUNDAY 73 48 DRIVING TIPS IN DEER SEASON Drive with extreme caution, at or below the posted speed limit, in areas with deer-crossing signs. Most crashes occur in the months of October through December.

Highest-risk periods are from sunset to midnight, followed by the hours shortly before and after sunrise. If you see one deer on or near a roadway, expect others to follow. Slow down and be alert. After dark, use high beams when there is no opposing traffic. High beams will illuminate the eyes of deer on or near a roadway and provide greater motorist reaction time.

Don't rely solely on high beams to deter collisions. Always wear a seat belt and drive at a safe, sensible speed for conditions. If a collision with a deer seems probable, then hit it while maintaining full control of your vehicle. Don't swerve your vehicle to avoid striking a deer. Brake firmly and stay in your lane.

The alternative could be even worse. Stay alert. Deer are always unpredictable. They often dart out into traffic on busy highways. Report any deer-vehicle collisions to a local law enforcement agency (such as the OhioHighway Patrol) or a state wildlife officer within 24 hours.

Note: Under Ohio law, the driver of a vehicle that strikes and kills a deer may take possession of it by first obtaining a deer possession receipt (available from law enforcement or state wildlife officers).

Born February 22, 1916 in Ridgeton, she was the daughter Continued from Page 1A The Ohio Department of Transportation noted that many deer collisions are believed to go unreported, so the actual number may be significantly higher. Even collisions that involve no damage to a vehicle are supposed to be reported to local law enforcement, the Ohio Highway Patrol, or the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Deer typically travel in groups, so the appearance of one approaching or crossing a highway often indicates others' presence nearby.

But should a collision appear imminent, authorities urge drivers not to swerve. Colliding with a deer is generally less hazardous than veering into opposing traffic or losing control and running off the road, they say. Lt. Michael Vincent, commander of the Mansfield post of the Highway Patrol, said the vast majority of deer crashes occur in October, November and December. He noted drivers should be especially aware at dusk and dawn.

Point-in-time counts found in the department's annual reports show about 5,000 fewer prisoners in state-run facilities in 2011 compared to the previous two years. Prescribing rules for pain medications, including narcotics with oxycodone, was spelled out in a 13-page set of guidelines for prison doctors. Hudson said these pain management guidelines have a role in the decline in other red flags to ensure no one is being denied necessary medication. The district court found nothing wrong with the prescribing practices during seven years of observation, he noted.

Abusable drugs are administered differently behind bars.

The pain medication change has not gone unnoticed among inmates. Greg Geisler, a corrections analyst for the inspection committee, said they have heard from inmates who were on pain medications for years and who feel they have been wrongly excluded under the new policy.

TIPS Parents need to be involved in teaching their teens to drive. This includes helping them navigate the practice driving phase. Parents should make sure their teens spend at least 50 hours of supervised behind-the-wheel practice to develop skills in a variety of situations.

Teen driving rules, such as the number of friends allowed in the car with a teen driver, hours of driving, and curfews should be established by parents. Research shows teens who say their parents set rules and monitor their driving in a helpful, supportive way are half as likely to crash and twice as likely to buckle up as teens with less-involved parents. crashes are caused by "critical errors," with the three common errors accounting for nearly half of these crashes. They include lack of scanning to detect and respond to hazards, going too fast for road conditions and being distracted by something inside or outside of the vehicle. Richmond said environmental conditions such as poor weather, vehicle malfunction, or aggressive driving, or physical impairments such as drowsy driving are not primary factors in most crashes and.

The fatal crash rate for drivers ages 16 to 19, based on miles driven, is three times higher than for drivers ages 20 and older. Nationally in 2010, a total of 3,115 teens ages 13 to 19 died as a driver or as a passenger of a teen driver. He said that statistics show that teen passengers and cellphones are two distractions proven to kill teens. krlewisnncogannett.com 419-521-7240 Twitter: kimberlygasuras TEENS AT-RISK Teens are more likely than older drivers to underestimate dangerous situations or not be able to recognize hazardous situations. Teens are more likely than older drivers to speed and allow shorter headways (the distance from the front of one vehicle to the front of the next).

The presence of male teenage passengers increases the likelihood of this risky driving behavior. Among male drivers between 1 5 and 20 years of age who were involved in fatal crashes in 2005, 38 percent were speeding at the time of the crash and 24 percent had been drinking. Compared with other age groups, teens have the lowest rate of seat belt use. In 2005, 10 percent of high school students reported they rarely or never wear seat belts when riding with someone else. At all levels of blood alcohol concentration (BAC), the risk of involve texting affects driving, how to drive in different types of weather and several other important topics." Keller said teens can begin the classroom work when they are 15 years and five months old.

"Then they can drive with anyone over the age of 21, preferably a parent or guardian, for 50 hours," Keller said. "After they complete their classroom work, they then must do eight hours in the car with a driving instructor." Reed Richmond, health educator for the MansfieldOntarioRichland County Health Department, said there are several basic facts about teen crashes: Motor vehicle crashes remain the No. 1 cause of death for adolescents.

Henry said she will never forget the day she went to Turning Point. "It was Christmas morning.

I had to leave my apartment and all of the kids' Christmas gifts behind unopened. It was hard, but when we arrived at Turning Point, they had everything we needed including gifts for the kids wrapped through generous donations from the communities," Henry said. "It meant a lot to me I was not the only one that has been abused; some were worse off than I was. We all kind of bonded there," Henry said. "They provided shelter free from harm for the kids and a safe atmosphere for all the victims.

They also provided information on how domestic violence is a cycle because the relationship starts out good, then gets worse, then goes back around and there's no way of breaking the cycle unless you are strong enough to get help or get out of that situation." Henry said she also received counseling and emo knowing my kids were still able to have a Christmas but I was also very ashamed of myself at that time. "In my relationship, I was made to feel as though I was worthless and was embarrassed. It wasn't until I spent about a week there, getting to talk to the other victims that I realized they completely understood how I was feeling and what I've been through." Henry said Turning Point provided counselors, information about restraining orders and how domestic violence is a cycle. Paula Burnside, program director at Turning Point, said the many services they provide would not be available if not for United Way funding. "We have a patchwork of funding but United Way is a huge part of that quilt," Burnside said.

Victims of domestic violence do not have to come and stay at the shelter to utilize the services available. "We have a huge outreach program. We will help victims go through the court process, criminal or civil, and will help them through counseling and many other support systems," Burnside said. Turning Point has been serving domestic violence victims and their families for the past 30 years in Crawford, Delaware, Marion, Morrow, Union and Wyandot counties. "Unfortunately, one out of every four women in the United States will be victimized by domestic violence," Burnside said.

"It is the biggest reason women present at the local emergency rooms for treatment. Sometimes they are presenting for other issues but many times, those stem from domestic violence. A woman is abused in our country every seven seconds." Henry credits Turning Point for helping her to get away from her abuser. "If it wasn't for Turning Point and me being as strong willed as I am, I wouldn't be where I am today. "I have found a good man I'm due to marry in June of 2013 and I am away from my ex.

My kids are safe and are doing good because they have stability now, as well as myself," Henry said. "I would recommend Turning Point to anyone who is a victim of domestic violence." krlewisnncogannett.com 419-521-7240 Twitter: kimberlygasuras VOLUME 90, NO. 219 113W.
