GPS UNITS CAN LIE AND KILL YOU!
November 23, 2010A Texas couple were rescued on the same snowy road in Southern Oregon where a San Francisco man died in 2006 when his family got stuck. That happened to the Kim family when they followed their GPS unit onto what became an impassable mountain road–Bear Camp Road. Josephine County deputies had to use a Sno-cat to get the Texas couple late last week because the snow on the road was too deep for four-wheel drive vehicles. The road runs from Grants Pass over the Coast Range to the coast. Deputies say when you use your GPS use GCS–Good Common Sense.

TWO MORE ARRESTS IN OREGON BUSINESS ICON HOME INVASION
November 16, 2010Police have arrested a total of three men now for the home invasion robbery of Columbia Sportswear matriarch Gert Boyle.

HALLOWEEN SAFETY–TAKE IT SERIOUSLY
October 28, 2010Traffic deaths for young pedestrians quadruple on Halloween evening, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The state AAA says that’s due to trick-or-treaters forgetting about safety and drivers not watching out for the youngsters. The AAA offers these tips for parents: Add reflective tape to costumes, and make sure they can be easily seen at night. Tell kids to stay on sidewalks, and cross the street only at corners. Tell them to stay in a group with supervision. For drivers, the AAA says: Slow down on Halloween, even if you don’t see kids about. Be extra cautious in residential areas. Watch for kids in dark costumes, or costumes that restrict their vision. Watch out for kids crossing in the middle of a street. And, finally, see and be seen–turn your headlights on well before dark.
