The event is designed to

about child abuse and neglect

Wood County Court Appointed

The program provides

Patrol is reminding drivers to
keep their eyes and focus on
the roadway while driving.
From 2009 to 2011 there
were 31,231 crashes that were
caused by distracted driving
in Ohio. Seventy-four of
these crashes ended in a death
and 7,825 included injuries.
Distracted driving is any
non-driving activity a person
engages in that has potential
to distract him or her from the
primary task of driving and
increase the risk of crashing.
Distractions can be visual
–taking eyes off of the road;
manual–taking hands off the
wheel, or cognitive–taking

Highway Patrol reminds drivers
to keep their eyes on the road
while driving is an example
that results in all three types
of distraction.
“Every single time someone
takes their eyes or their
focus off the road–even for
just a few seconds–they put
their lives and the lives of others
in danger,” said Colonel
John Born, Patrol superintendent.
“Distracted driving is
unsafe, irresponsible and in a
split second, its consequences
can be devastating.”
According to the National
Highway Safety Administration
5,474 people died nationally
in 2009 in
distraction- related crashes.
Of these, 18 percent involved
cell phone use.

This year’s conference
marks a 10-year period of
District 6600 giving of thousands
of volunteer hours and
gifts totally more than $20
million benefiting northern
and central Ohio community
projects.
“What has made Rotary
important since its inception
in 1905, is that it is comprised
of local community
leaders who support educational,
health and human
service initiatives in the
towns in which they live and
work,” said District Governor
Bolanis. “This makes
their giving especially relevant
to Ohio communities.”
In addition, District 6600
clubs also gave more than
$7.5 million to support Rotary
International’s annual
program fund over the last
decade. This fund supported
philanthropic projects across
