During the month of October, Canada's Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Huron -Perth Children's Aid Society, in partnership with Rural Response for Healthy Children, is reaching out to the public to raise awareness of child abuse and its more subtle signs, and to ensure children and youth in our communities are healthy, happy and safe. A press release from the Children's Aid Society states, "We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of vio- lence and fear." The purple ribbon, symbol of Child Abuse Prevention Month, is in its fifteenth year and will be seen all over Huron and Perth counties throughout the month of October. More than 20 ser- vice organizations in the two counties have joined the Huron -Perth Children's Aid Society in wearing purple rib- bons to show their commit- ment to ending child abuse. To learn more about the signs and symptoms of child abuse and neglect, visit usey- ourvoice. ca. Citizens who sus- pect child abuse or neglect can call the Huron -Perth CAS at 1-866-668-5094 (Perth) or 1-800-265-5198 (Huron). All calls are confidential. OPP adding blue lights on cruiser HURON — Blue lights have arrived on OPP cruisers. This is not a new idea and has been utilized in other jurisdictions in Canada, the U.S. and Europe for many years. Ontario is the last jurisdiction to switch over. Research has indicated that blue lights are more visible in the daylight. The switch is being made to help differentiate police vehicles from other traffic especially during times of heavy traffic. The OPP is switching over to enhance officer safety, public safety and to bring themselves in line with other police services. Huron OPP now has two black and white cruisers with blue, red and white emergency lights. Although snow removal vehicles also have blue lights, OPP cruisers will still have red combined with the blue. Motorists will retain the same obligations to pull to the right for a police cruiser either pro- ceeding in the same direction or coming from the opposite direction if the emergency lights are activated. One of the most dangerous places for a police officer to be is with a stopped vehicle at the side of the road. Motorists have achieved less than an "A" grade for paying attention to emergency vehicles and hazards at the side of the road and many officers have been killed during these situations. With the onslaught of cell phone use and numerous other distractions for drivers, it is anticipated that the blue lights will catch a motorists' attention a little better.
