Hi Itt ; | L EAS AT FA GN RENNES 0 AR A am AAA ST 5% NP ANS PA Collisions Continued from page 3 start moving at dusk, and that's the hardest time to see them early enough to avoid a collision. Drive very carefully at dusk. When you see a deer cross the road in iront of you, and all seems safe, watch out. Deer often travel in groups, and just when you relax, another deer will bolt across the road in front of you to join it's companion...then another. It's this second or third deer that often get whacked. This occurs frequently with fawns of the year who want to be with mommy. Raccoon are particularly prone to this. Along County Road #17, there was a dead small raccoon, not an unusual sight. Not thirty feet from this, Momma coon crossed the road in front of my car, then out of the roadside grasses two baby raccoons followed Momma and I didn't have much time to avoid them. They were simply intent on staying close to the old lady, utterly disregarding the hurtling metal object that had crushed their sibling. This business about wanting to be with the other deer in the herd can cause another problem. A deer crosses the road in front of your car, you cruise along assuming it's well out of the way, but the deer has different ideas. As you approach the spot where he crossed the road, he dashes into the path of your car because he wants to rejoin the group he left. The message is clear. When you see a deer or other amimal cross the road, slow down to a crawl. Watch for eyes reflecting your headlights. Sometimes, it's the only warning you will get. It may be a cat, it may be a coon, or it may be a deer. The headlights blind and frighten the animal, and it will act unpredictably. Finally, a deer that does cut in front of your car it is usually running, and if it looks like you may smack it, along with the brakes, hit the horn. Deer always have a little burst of speed in reserve, and the horn gives them the impetus to use it. - George Underhill CRYPTICKLE We apologize that due to space limitations the cryptic puzzle will not appear this month PUMPKIN DECORATING A FAIR FAVOURITE!
