Hi All, I hope Thanksgiving was good for everybody and you ate a lot of food. I received this from the O.C.S.O. so I am passing it on, be safe..... Dave
Holiday Travel: If you are leaving during the holidays or out shopping. Reduce your chances of a burglary by making your home appear occupied. Such as:
1. Using timers within different locations in your home. Not only for lighting fixtures but also for electronics such as televisions and radios. Never put a Christmas tree or Christmas lights on a timer if you will be gone.
2. Have a trusted friend or neighbor pick up your mail and place their trash receptacle in your driveway.
3. If a friend or neighbor has an extra car, have them park it in your driveway.
4. Leave your gifts at the home of a friend or family member while you are gone.
Contact the Orange County Sheriff's Office or your local law enforcement agency and request they do area checks of your home while you are away. If you come back early, let us know.
Leave a travel itinerary with a friend. Make sure you provide them expected time of arrival, departure, address, phone numbers and who you will be with. Make sure you check in with them.
Travel with a fully charged cell phone, and charger for both your vehicle and a regular outlet.
Make sure your vehicle is in good condition to include; tire, tire pressure, proper fluid levels and it is always fueled. Have a mechanic check it out before you go.
If you travel with a GPS, always make sure you have a back up such as a map or pre-printed directions. Always check for road closures, construction and weather conditions. If you are traveling in Florida you can always call 5-1-1 for road information.
Always travel with your windows up and doors locked. If you need to ask directions, make sure you stop at a well traveled well lighted location such as a gas station.
Always wear your seat belt and make sure children are properly restrained.
Never discuss your travel plans with a stranger.
If you are using a rental vehicle make sure you become familiar with it.
Limit personal information on your luggage tags.
Many criminal elements will target those who look like travelers. Avoid becoming a target by:
1. Keep items in your vehicle out of plain view such as souvenirs and maps.
2. Avoid wearing clothing that is sold to tourist in that particular area.
3. Carry a camera that will fit in your pocket or purse.
4. Personalize your rental vehicle by placing a simple inexpensive air freshener on your rear view mirror.

The email tells users they must create a personal H1N1 (swine flu) vaccination profile on the CDC.gov website. The message then says anyone age 18 or older must have his/her personal vaccination profile on CDC.gov.

Yes. Calls to 911 on a cell phone are free, but unlike regular phones we can't tell where you are calling from. Be prepared to give your location, direction of travel and a description of both cars.

I.C.E. Important
Hi Everybody,
I have something that is very important to discuss with everybody, it is called I.C.E. That is short for "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY". Here is how it works. The emergency and police have been advised to look for that on your cell phones when ever they arrive at a scene where the person is not able to communicate. They look for a cell phone and then see if there is a listing for I.C.E. So please add to your phone book in your cell phone I.C.E. and place one or two phone numbers that they would be able to call "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY".
Everybody please be safe this Holiday season, and lets keep an eye out for
BENT OAK........Dave Sukkert

MOVE OVER LAW
Hi Everybody, here is some information on the Move Over Law.... Dave
FHP Raises Awareness for Move Over Law
The Move Over Law requires drivers to move over one lane whenever an emergency vehicle on the side of the road has its lights activated. If moving over is not a viable option, drivers must simply slow down to 20 mph below the posted speed limit.
Florida adopted the law in 2002 after several emergency response personnel were killed or injured while working on the side of the road. In the past decade, more than 150 law enforcement officers nationwide have been killed by passing motorists while performing their duties on our highways.
The Move Over Law enforcement effort is part of a series where the Florida Highway Patrol focuses on a specific traffic law and cites anyone caught violating that law. The series is called Be Smart, Drive Smart Florida!The Patrol partnered with law enforcement agencies across the state through Labor Day to raise awareness and enforcement of the Move Over Law. During the operation, law enforcement officers worked together along busy highways and interstates to stop those who violated the law.
In addition to enforcement, the Department has created Public Service Announcements, which are available for viewing and download the Department’s website at www.flhsmv.gov/SafetyTips/MoveOverTips.htm. In addition, troopers handed out brochures during traffic stops. The brochures also are available in FHP stations, driver license offices and other locations throughout the state. Also, radio PSAs aired statewide on Florida News Network for a two-week period. Both the brochures and radio PSAs have English and Spanish versions. Federal grants dollars through the Florida Department of Transportation funded this year’s Move Over Law campaign materials.
