DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and brings attention to an important issue that affects millions of individuals and families. This month is a good reminder to encourage open conversations, express empathy, and work to create a safer environment. By increasing our understanding of domestic violence, we can better support survivors and work towards preventing domestic violence altogether. Domestic violence includes many forms of abuse, including physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, and financial. It can affect individuals of all ages, genders, races, and socio-economic backgrounds. Domestic violence leaves victims feeling trapped, isolated, and fearful. Common Signs of Abusive Behavior in a Partner (provided by the National Domestic Violence Hotline): 1. Telling you that you never do anything right. 2. Showing extreme jealousy of your friends or time spent away from them. 3. Preventing or discouraging you from spending time with others, particularly friends, family members, or peers. 4. Insulting, demeaning, or shaming you, especially in front of other people. 5. Preventing you from making your own decisions, including about working or attending school. 6. Controlling finances in the household without discussion, such as taking your money or refusing to provide money for necessary expenses. 7. Pressuring you to have sex or perform sexual acts you’re not comfortable with. 8. Pressuring you to use drugs or alcohol. 9. Intimidating you through threatening looks or actions. 10. Insulting your parenting or threatening to harm or take away your children or pets. 11. Intimidating you with weapons like guns, knives, bats, or mace. 12. Destroying your belongings or your home. If you are concerned about someone you know, you can help connect them to support. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is 800-799-7233. Local non-emergency dispatch lines can also help connect you to proper authorities, the Non-Emergency Dispatch number for the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office is 541-265-0777. If there is an emergency, such as an immediate threat to life or risk of injury, call 911 to get help right away. Domestic violence is a complex issue, but there are numerous organizations and helplines dedicated to providing support. Whether you're a survivor seeking assistance or someone looking to help, there are resources available, and you don’t have to go through this alone. We all have a role to play in ending domestic violence and everyone deserves a healthy relationship and safe home.

DRIVING IN THE RAIN Along with the official start of fall comes our rainy season. For some, driving in the rain, especially in the dark, causes anxiety. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, “nearly 5,700 people are killed and more than 544,700 people are injured in crashes on wet pavement” each year. But being behind the wheel while it’s raining doesn’t have to be a nerve-racking experience. Here are some tips for driving in a downpour: 1. Think. Drivers need to stay alert and focused on what’s going on around them, especially during rain and other stormy weather. 2. Turn on headlights. It’s the law in all states to turn on headlights when visibility is low. Many states also require having headlights on when the windshield wipers are in use. While Oregon does not require motorists to turn on headlights when wipers are used, this can help increase visibility. Well-working wipers are an essential for driving in rain. 3. Beware of hydroplaning. Hydroplaning is what occurs when your tires are getting more traction on the layer of water on the road than on the road itself, resulting in your car sliding uncontrollably. It’s easy enough to hydroplane: All you need is one-twelfth of an inch of water on the road and a speed of more than 35 miles per hour. If you start to hydroplane, let off the accelerator slowly and steer straight until you regain control. Before rain, snow, or freezing temperatures begin, it is important to have quality tires for increased traction and safety. 4. Turn off cruise control. On rain, snow, ice, or other slick surfaces, cruise control may cause you to lose control. If you hydroplane while in cruise control, your car will actually go faster. 5. Slow down. Speed limits are designed for ideal conditions. That means driving when there is little traffic and good visibility. Plan for more time to get to your destination when it is raining.
