The collisions occurred while the deer were crossing roadways all over Middlesex County, including Highways 401 and 402. Fall driving can be tricky enough with wet, slick roads. Added to those road conditions is the pres- ence of deer, often in large num- bers. Large wildlife such as deer are more mobile when searching for food in the fall, and they are often spotted near or on roads and high- ways in their travels. Deer in par- ticular are often seen roaming around the highways during rut season, while they are looking for mates. It is also common for deer to travel in herds; so if you see one deer, there is a good chance that more will follow. The OPP would like to emphasize some important points when deal- ing with the sudden emergence of large wildlife on highways and roads, or at the side of the road. It is important to remember that deer crossing signs are only posted where there are frequent sightings or crossings. The reality is that these animals can be seen any- where, at anytime, so drivers should never lower their level of awareness when driving in areas that are absent of these signs. This especially applies at night, given that the peak deer crossing time is between dusk and dawn. When dri- ving on highways at night, it is important to use the high beams whenever possible. Most of the col- lisions in Middlesex were in the late afternoon hours, from 4-7 p.m. If you encounter large wildlife such as deer on the road and can safely avoid hitting them, do so, but be absolutely certain that oncoming traffic or soft shoulders don't put you and others at risk. Also, do not direct your full attention to the ani- mal when you take measures to avoid hitting it, because you will hit it every time. Instead, focus your attention on the alternative route you decide to take, again only if this maneuver doesn't place you and others in danger. When you see a moose or deer while travelling at 90 kilometres per hour, then slam on the brakes, you will travel another 75 metres (246 feet) during the three seconds it takes to react to the situation.

Students heading to Sagamok Reserve CLINTON — Students from St. Anne's Catholic Secondary School will be leaving for Sagamok Reserve Nov. 15 as part of Hands of God United. This year's team of 23 students — the largest group in three years — has been raising money through personal spon- sorships, cheese selling, local parish and busi- ness contributions. Their two-part mission involves a `while you were out' fix -up, clean- up paint job for one fam- ily in need, as well as to encourage youth on the reserve to get involved in their faith. Hands of God United is hosting and sponsoring a road hockey tournament on the Sagamok Reserve Nov. 20. The group hopes to provide 60 new road hockey sticks for the children and youth of Sagamok Reserve. Each participant will receive a new stick in hopes they will learn some hockey skills and continue to play the game as a healthy extra- curricular activity. An extra $500 is also needed to sponsor a youth from the reserve to attend the March Break Little NHL pro- gram. For more information or to donate contact Bridget Bates, chaplain, St. Anne's Catholic Secondary School, 482- 5454 ext. 118 or e-mail bridget_bates@hpcdsb. e du. on. ca. 14 -year-old female charged with assault EXETER — On Nov. 1 at 6:15 p.m. the OPP was noti- fied of an assault in Exeter earlier that day.
