OSP hopes for sober-driving, fatality-free New Years 2013 was 'Fatality-Free' during the 30-hour New Year's holiday reporting period and Oregon State Police troopers intend to repeat the trend (6:00 p.m. December 31, 2013, through 11:59:p.m., Janu- ary 1, 2014). For 2014, OSP Troopers and local law enforcement partners will participate in a national enforcement effort, 'Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,' to discour- age impaired driving and prevent alcohol-related incidents on Oregon high- ways. During the 2013 ef- fort, OSP troopers reported 29 DUII arrests during the 30-hour reporting period, 22 of which were on Janu- ary 1st. Important safety tips for holiday planning: • Designated Driver (DD) - If you haven't worked out who will drive if you're going to drink; now's the time! • Make it an Over-night- er - couches or hotel rooms make great landing pads and are far more comfort- able than a jail bed. • Call a cab or use public transportation - If you are in Portland - TriMet is giving free rides starting at 8:00 p.m., on New Year's Eve (http://www.trimet. org/alerts/newyear.htm). Check your local area for great offers like TriMet's! • Be a good host - Tasty non-alcoholic beverages for the designated driver of the group is a great gesture; your DD will ap- preciate it. • Reach out for help - if you've been drinking you shouldn't be driving. Call a cab, phone a friend or send for backup on Twitter - it may mean the difference in someone else's life. • If you do see a drinker behind the wheel call and report it: 9-1-1 or OSP at 1-800-24DRUNK (800- 243-7865) Some startling data from the National High- way Traffi c Safety Admin- istration (NHTSA) shows that during the holiday sea- son in 2012, 40 percent of the drunk drivers involved in fatal crashes had at least one prior DUI on their re- cord. And many offenders are young drivers: during that same holiday period 37 percent of the 21- to 24-year old drivers in fatal crashes were drunk. Sur- prisingly, almost 1 out of 6 drivers under the age of 21 in those fatal crashes were also drunk, even though they're too young to legally buy or consume alcohol. According to Oregon De- partment of Transportation (ODOT) Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), since 1970, there were no fatalities reported in 2003, (30 hour period) and 2010, (78 hour period). Pre- liminary numbers for the 2014 Christmas holiday reporting period indicate (5) vehicle related fatali- ties in Oregon, Wednesday December 24 at 6:00 p.m., to Sunday December 28, at 11:59 p.m.( The New Year's holiday reporting time is Wednesday De- cember 31, at 6:00 p.m., to Sunday January 4, 2015, at 11:59 p.m.) This week’s crossword puzzle Why advertise with us? • Low rates per column inch & promotional deals • Free color ads as space permits • Friendly, professional sales staff Wendee Morrissey wendee@thebakercountypress. com or call 541.805.1688.
