SEXUAL ASSAULT AND ROOFIE AWARENESS
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and is a significant reminder that sexual assault, roofie awareness, and personal safety are important topics throughout the year. According to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), every 68 seconds an American is sexually assaulted. You can find additional statistics and resources such as “Understanding Consent”, “Safety and Prevention”, and more at www.rainn.org.
The best tip for preventing sexual assault is: don’t sexually assault someone. While this is the best way to prevent sexual assault, below are some tips to help prevent exposure to date rape drugs and predators with harmful intentions.
There are more than fifty predatory drugs that can be used to sedate someone. These drugs, including rohypnol, ketamine, and GHB, are often known as “roofies” or “date rape drugs”. These predatory drugs relax the body and can feel similar to being drunk. As they pass through your system their effect increases. This can lead to confusion, breathing trouble, blurred vision, and memory loss. These drugs stay in the bloodstream for approximately four hours and testing for them often yields little or no evidence. This makes it very difficult to prove and even harder to prosecute.
Below are some tips to help prevent exposure to these drugs and predators with harmful intentions. If you are drinking:
• Be Aware of Strange Smells or Flavors.
If the drink is hazy or doesn’t taste like it normally should, don’t drink it. Be sure to pour it out so that no one else drinks it.
• Cover Your Cup.
Never set down or lose sight of your drink. Hold the cup by covering it with your palm.
• Order Your Own Drinks.
Don’t accept any beverages from strangers or people you don’t trust. It is safer to only accept drinks directly from the bartender.
• Avoid Community Containers.
Say no to drinks made in a punch bowl or pitchers. Instead, go for a canned or bottled beverage that hasn’t been opened.
• Don’t Share Drinks with Others.
You don’t know if your friend has kept a watchful eye on their cup. People can have very different reactions to the same drug. This means they could have ingested something harmful and not feel it’s effects yet.
• Sip Your Drink Slowly.
Taking time to consume your beverage gives you more time to become aware of any symptoms which can indicate your drink has been altered.

The last two weeks of Citizen Academy were packed with fun. Deputy Chris Barth kicked off week 7 with a Marine Program presentation and tour of the boat garage for a closer look at the marine vessels suited for various responses and duties. Forest Deputy and Search and Rescue (SAR) Coordinator Bruce McGuire then finished the night with presentations on the Forest Program and Search and Rescue Program operations. Deputy McGuire’s photos and stories were very interesting, but the class was thankful not to be on a live SAR activation call as part of our late-night class.
Our Administrative Lieutenant, Jamie Russell, started week 8 with a presentation on the Animal Shelter and services provided by our amazing Animal Shelter team. Our Animal Services Deputies (ASD), Tony Panousopoulos and Dave Martin presented information on what ASDs are responsible for and how their duties can vary day to day. Finally, our Emergency Manager, Sam Buckley, wrapped up the night with an overview on Emergency Management, including information on day-to-day operations, emergency response, the juggling that goes into helping our communities prepare, respond to, and recover from disasters, and some personal preparedness.

SAFETY TIPS FOR RUNNERS
The Newport Marathon is just around the corner, so we can expect to see local and guest runners hitting the road on May 31st. Motorists should use extra caution, not only during special events like this, but throughout the year. Whether you are a well-seasoned runner or just beginning your running activities, there are some things you should consider to keep yourself safe while running. The time of day and weather impact not only how you feel on your run but can also be more dangerous depending on the situation. Before heading out on your next run, consider these tips.
Before the Run
• Run with another person or a group.
• Let someone know when and where you are running and when you will return.
• Carry ID and a cell phone. Consider adding a small card with an emergency contact and any allergies or known medical conditions.
• Take a whistle with you.
• Dress for the weather and running conditions. Wear layers and sturdy shoes.
• Wear reflective clothing or gear regardless of the time of day.
• Don’t wear headphones or anything that distracts you. This will help keep you aware of cars passing by and animals you may encounter on your route.
• Vary the route and the time of day that you run.
• If you must run at night, remember to wear a headlamp and a flashing red light on your back. Consider additional reflective gear.
• Remember to stretch! Stretching before running and regular flexibility and strength training help prevent future injuries.
During the Run
• Run against traffic so that you can observe the approach of automobiles.
• When possible, run on sidewalks or designated trails/pedestrian paths.
• Remember to hydrate. Runner’s belts and vests make it easier to carry water and snacks.
• Keep an eye on the temperature and how your body feels. If you start to overheat, feel dizzy, or otherwise unwell, take a break in the shade and drink water.
• Stay alert. When in doubt, follow your intuition. If something seems suspicious, do not panic, but run in a different direction.
• Do not approach a car to give directions. If you feel you must respond, do it while moving.
• Run in familiar areas. Note the location of neighbors or open businesses along the route.
• When in doubt call for help. For an emergency, call 911. Non-emergency dispatch can be reached at 541-265-0777, or call a friend and keep them on the phone until you feel safe again.
