ODOT gives tips for winter driving<br />
As Ohioans get ready to<br />
drive in the first possible winter<br />
storm this season, the Ohio<br />
Department of Transportation<br />
(ODOT) warns motorists: “In<br />
Ice and Snow, Take It Slow,”<br />
especially on interstates and<br />
state-maintained highways<br />
where speeds are faster and<br />
traffic volumes are higher.<br />
Research shows by the time<br />
the first winter storm hits, most<br />
motorists have forgotten their<br />
safe winter driving skills.<br />
“Because of last year’s mild<br />
winter, many of Ohio’s motorists<br />
haven’t driven in significant<br />
ice and snow in about 20<br />
months,” said ODOT Director<br />
Jerry Wray.<br />
ODOT will make history<br />
this winter by being the first<br />
state in the nation to use greencolored<br />
strobe lights on its<br />
snowplow trucks. Studies show<br />
green lights are more easily detected<br />
by the human eye than<br />
other colors. The new green<br />
lights, along with new white<br />
lights, will be added to the existing<br />
amber lights creating a<br />
color combination unique to<br />
ODOT.<br />
Drivers also can stay safe<br />

–whether it’s the first storm or<br />
last–by following these tips:<br />
•Plan Ahead: Before leaving<br />
home, find out about driving<br />
conditions by going to<br />
ODOT’s premier website<br />
www.BuckeyeTraffic.org. Safe<br />
drivers know the weather, and<br />
their limits. Also, follow<br />
ODOT on Facebook and Twitter.<br />
•See and be Seen: Remove<br />
any snow on your vehicle’s<br />
windows, lights, brake lights<br />
and signals.<br />
•Check the Clock: Leave<br />
plenty of time to reach your<br />
destination safely. It’s not worth<br />
putting yourself and others in a<br />
dangerous situation just to be<br />
on time.<br />
•Turn on your Lights: If you<br />
need to turn on your wipers,<br />
turn on your headlights. It’s the<br />
law.<br />
During last year’s winter<br />
season, there were 16,167 winter-related<br />
crashes on Ohio’s<br />
roadways. Ice and snow related<br />
fatalities on ODOT-maintained<br />
roads decreased by nearly 20<br />
percent– from 21 to 17.<br />
Although crashes on<br />
ODOT-maintained roads make<br />
up only 33 percent of all snow<br />
and ice crashes, in the 2011-12<br />
winter season, nearly 57 percent<br />
of all winter driving related<br />
fatalities occurred on<br />
Interstates, U.S. Routes and<br />
State Routes.<br />

Fire Division, Way Library to<br />
present CPR, AED, first aid classes<br />
The <strong>Perrysburg</strong> Fire Division<br />
and Way Library are partnering<br />
to offer life-saving<br />
CRP, AED (automatic external<br />
defibrillator) and first aid<br />
classes.<br />
Sponsored by the American<br />
Heart Association, these<br />
classes will take place throughout<br />
2013, providing opportunities<br />
for local residents to learn<br />
life-saving skills from certified<br />
instructors.<br />
The American Heart Association’s<br />
CPR and AED learning<br />
programs are designed to<br />
help increase survival rates of<br />
those stricken by cardiac arrest.<br />
Fewer than one-third of<br />
cardiac arrest victims get CPR<br />
help during the critical four to<br />
six minute period after an incident.<br />
Almost 80 percent of<br />
sudden cardiac arrests happen<br />
in the home, and 92 percent of<br />
victims don’t survive, often<br />
because people around them<br />
do not take action and begin<br />
CPR.<br />
Classes are limited to 20<br />
students, and registration is required.<br />
The following classes<br />
will be offered in 2013:<br />
Family and Friends CPR,<br />
from 6 to 8 p.m. on January 16,<br />
May 15, July 17, or September<br />
18. This is a free class, but registration<br />
at the library information<br />
desk is required.<br />
Participants may wish to buy a<br />
book for $5. This class will<br />
teach adult hands-only CPR,<br />
child CPR with breaths, adult<br />
and child AED use, infant<br />
CPR, and choking relief for all<br />
