“Fall Back ” Means Be Alert

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) reminds motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians that the return to standard time, which takes effect at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1, means it will get dark one hour earlier. It is important to watch out for pedestrians and bicyclists on the drive home, as they will be much less noticeable after the time change goes into effect. Research from the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute confirms that pedestrians are more at risk of serious injury from a motor vehicle crash in the weeks following a return to standard time. The most dangerous time is the first hour of darkness. "Driving through school zones becomes more challenging for motorists during the first week of the time change," said State Transportation Director Kirk T. Steudle. "Pedestrians and bicyclists should wear brighter, reflective clothing in order to be seen more easily, and those behind the wheel need to pay close attention and eliminate distractions while driving."             MDOT also reminds bicyclists to travel with the flow of traffic.             According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 4,735 pedestrians died in traffic crashes in 2013 and an estimated 66,000 were injured (10,000 of these injuries happened…

Second chance for Panthers

First playoff game in Western history takes team to scene of lopsided affair   By Mike Moore Staff Writer   Parma – The top objective this season, and for many that came before it, was to find a way to reach the postseason. Mission accomplished for the 2015 Western football team.   Now, the Panthers might as well get a little greedy.   “We reached our main goal, but we don’t need to be done,” coach Dave Mifsud said of his squad. “We don’t need to be satisfied.”   Having never reached the postseason before, Western closed the regular season in style, beating Dexter High 28-0 to finish 6-3 and kick start a wild celebration.   “I’m not sure I’ve entirely been here long enough to understand what’s happened around here. But Friday night was fun and exciting,” Mifsud, in his third year with the program, said.   Mifsud led Dearborn High to a 108-58 record, 11 playoff berths and two semifinal appearances in D-2 during his tenure there.   “To have that goal reached, and have the community there to support and celebrate with us was special,” Mifsud added. “To hear our names called Sunday night was an absolute…
