I NORWALK POLICE CHIEF 1
By Ed Kuhl
It is that time of the year again when the deer are
moving in large numbers. The estimated head count by
the Iowa DNR is again high this year and while good
for hunters, it is bad for drivers. Remember to be extra
vigilant especially at sunrise and sunset and while most
deer crossings are clearly marked, they don't always
know they are supposed to be there. Unfortunately they
cross in other places and at other times as well.
The best thing to do is to slow down in crossing ar-
eas, scan the road from side to side, if one is present
slow down and if possible stop slowly until the animal(s)
passes. It is not always the deer you see that strikes your
car, but others in the herd.
Unfortunately snow is predicted for our neighbors
to the north and likely will not be far behind for us.
Remember to have your vehicles winterized, cell phones
charged and safety items placed in the trunk. Slow your
driving down and increase the interval between your
vehicle and the one ahead of you. Remember also that
when a winter storm is forecast for our area to remove
your vehicle from the street. This will allow our street
crews to clear more snow at a faster rate, not only for
youto travel but also ambulances, fire units, police cars
and mail carriers as well. The fine for a snow parking
violation has been increased to $35 and a tow may cost
up to $100 for the vehicle owner, but lives could de-
pend on that street being trafficable.
We ask that you report to us today any abandoned
vehicle, or items being stored in the street so we can
remove them now well before the snows begin and if
you are an owner of one of those items, please remove
it now, save yourself some money and help your neigh-
borhood and community be a safer place for all of us.
Thank you again for your support.
