Black ice isn’t nice
During the winter months, Oregon
m otorists deal with snow, wind,
blowing snow, fog and reduced
visibility. Another hazardous
situation that travelers need to be
aware o f is black ice. Black ice on
the roadways can be difficult to see.
Motonsts are advised to pay attention
to a change in color or a change in
the reflection o f the pavement
surface. If the road surface is wet
and all o f sudden it looks dry, it
could be black ice. Also if motorists
come across a sparkling road surface
it could be either frost or black ice.
"The best way to deal with black
ice is to anticipate where you have
a likelihood of encountering it, such
as on shady curves and bridges then
slow down and to drive accordingly,"
said Dan Knoll, public information
representative for ODOT Region
4.
Knoll also recom m ends that
motonsts should slow down on dry

be a slippery area. If it's too late to
properly slow down, do not make
any sudden changes or maneuvers
and gradually use the brakes. If
m otonsts find themselves on black
ice and losing control, steer into the
direction o f the skid. Do not use
cruise control if there is even a
remote possibility o f encountenng

ODOT's advice to m otorists
during the winter months is to be
aware o f the conditions, take extra
time to reach your destination, and
drive accordingly.

said Halvorsen. a three-year Navy
veteran.
Sailors find that serving aw ay
from home can also provide new
opportunities in their lives. " There
are very few jobs in the w orld that
offer as much free travel and
experience. It's a tough job but a
great job." Halvorsen said.
Many sailors w ho are forw ard

roles play in preserving the American

The holiday season is fast
approaching—the tim e when
tw inkling lights and holiday
decorations cover hom es and
neighborhoods. For many Amencans
it is also a tim e spent with friends
and family, celebrating the time of
year with traditional festivities.
But for some Americans, their
friends and family Will not be home
this holiday. They are the few that
have made a sacrifice, protecting
freedom and defending the country.
Naval officers like Navy Lt. j.g. Ryan
D. Halvorsen, the 26-year-old son
o f Frank and Cathy Halvorsen of
lone, know all about the sacrifices
that come with being in the military
during the holidays. Stationed in
Sasebo, Japan, on the amphibious
transport dock ship USS Juneau
(LPD 10) as the food service officer.
Halvorsen is responsible for assisting
with the ship's budget, as well as
procurement and preparation o f food
and supplies for the ship.
"We are part o f the only forward
deployed am phibious group in the
Navy. If Marines need to get on the
shore on short notice, w e are the ones
to do it," said Halvorsen. a 1993
graduate o f lone High School.
Instead o f being home for the
holidays, Halvorsen will he one of
approximately 24 naval officers and
396 sailors aboard Juneau who will
instead continue the Navy's mission
o f establishing stability and
presenting a forward presence
abroad.
Juneau, one o f the Navy's 11
Austin-class ships, is designed to
conduct am phibious assaults by
landing Marines with their equipment
and supplies. The M arines are
transported ashore by em barked
landing craft, amphibious vehicles
and helicopters. Weighing more than
17.000 tons and measuring 570 feet
in length, the Juneau supports about
900 Marines.
