Sgt. Kay Perkins, a 17 year veteran of the Ohio Highway Patrol, spoke to the Byesville Rotary on Tuesday. Sgt. Perkins is a supervisor. Her job includes both administration and patrolling. She stated that “Public education and patrol visibility are the number 1 aims of the Highway Patrol.” Education efforts include high school programs about driving safety and demonstrations of mock collisions using junk cars.
Sgt. Perkins encouraged the members of the Rotary to “…save lives by observing the speed limits.” Increasing you speed does not save a driver much time. Driving from Cambridge to St. Clairsville at 65MPH will take 42 minutes. Driving the same distance at 75MPH will save 5 minutes, but will double the driver’s chances of being in a wreck.
Reading assigments for next meeting: January Rotarian--"How to Make an Ecostove," p.35, "How to Fundraise without Fear," p. 36, and "How to Plan a Campaign," p.37.
