BUS

I would assume they are looking at an electronic
device.”
The basic rules for approaching a slowing
or stopped bus are the same as
approaching a stoplight. When lights are
blinking yellow, a driver should slow down
and stop in their lane when lights are
blinking red.
If the bus is stopped on a street or road
which has fewer than four lanes, all traffic
approaching the bus from either direction
must stop at least 10 feet from the front or
rear of the bus and remain stopped until
the bus begins to move or the bus driver
signals motorists to proceed.
“Even if the bus lights are not working,
an officer could ticket a driver who doesn’t
stop,” Sotlar said.

attends OSU-Newark and is a member of
the Army ROTC there, won the men’s division
of the Running Scared 5K with a time
of 20:02. Molly Prochaska, 14, who attends
Bishop Flaget in Chillicothe, won the
women’s division of race with a time of
21:48.
“It’s a great course to run,” said Riekert
of the Running Scared 5K course. “It’s nice
and flat. It lets you see your opponents from
front and back so you know how fast to run.”
Of the chilly, rainy weather on the day
of the race, Riekert said, “It’s beautiful
weather for running. It’s nice and cool. The
rain cools you down.”
Prochaska said the Running Scared 5K
course is one of her favorite courses.
“It’s different and diverse,” said
Prochaska. “There’s nice trees and it’s interesting
to run through the neighborhoods.”
An interesting aspect of the race is that
participants had the option of carrying a
pumpkin as they ran or walked. They got
to keep the pumpkin if they successfully
carried it across the finish line. The pumpkins
were good sized and some racers were
wary of the weight while others embraced
the challenge.
