NORTHSTATE Skateseriesstopsin Red Bluff, Corning October is Domestic Vi- olence Awareness Month and Alternatives to Vio- lence is sharing facts about domestic violence this month to educate the com- munity and raise aware- ness of the problem of do- mestic violence in Tehama County. Following is a collection of domestic violence trivia questions, some of which may be used during the Oct. 17 Alternatives to Vi- olence Trivia Night at the Red Bluff Community Cen- ter. Trivia Question: The majority of victims of in- timate partner violence (IPV), also known as do- mestic violence, disclose their victimization to someone. True or False? ANSWER: True. Al- though the vast majority of IPV is never reported to law enforcement, 84% of female victims and 61% of male victims disclosed their victimization to someone, usually a friend or family member. Trivia Question: Leav- ing an abusive relationship doesn't always end the vio- lence immediately. What % of women are injured after separation? A) 80%, B) 70%, C) 60%, D) 50% ANSWER: B. The most violent time in an abusive relationship is when the survivor leaves, or tries to leave. In fact, in domestic violence cases, more than 70 percent of injuries and murders happen after the victim leaves. This phe- nomenon is known as sep- aration assault. Having an exit plan in place be- fore leaving an abusive re- lationship is a critical step for staying safe. Trivia Question: The number of American troops killed in Afghan- istan and Iraq between 2001 and 2012 was 6,488. What was the total num- ber of American women who were murdered by current or ex male part- ners during that same time period? A) 9,766, B) 10,766, C) 11,766, D) 12,766 ANSWER: C. The num- ber of women who lost their lives to a current or ex male partner was 11,766. That is nearly double the amount of casualties lost during the war with Af- ghanistan and Iraq. Trivia Question: Domes- tic violence and abuse vic- timization leads to long- term and far-reaching health impacts. True or False? ANSWER: True. Vic- tims are more likely to re- port frequent headaches, chronic pain, difficulty sleeping, activity limita- tions and poor physical health compared to those with no history of intimate partner violence. The Ad- verse Childhood Experi- ences study ties long-term health problems to inti- mate partner violence. Whatcanyoudo? Listen without offer- ing advice or being judg- mental. Leaving is usu- ally a process. They need to know that you are there for them through the pro- cess, not just if they take your advice. Do not just tell them to leave. The majority of deaths occur when the abuser knows they plan to leave, when they leave or after they leave. Instead, have them call Alterna- tives to Violence to create a safety plan and a plan to leave safely. Help in practical ways. They may need help watch- ing children while they get a protective order, meet with an Advocate, attend support groups or coun- seling. Talk about it. Again, leaving is usually a pro- cess, so keep talking with them and let them know you care. Be a good friend and do not gossip or share their story without their permission. Their abuser is likely telling them that no one cares about them and he or she is the only one they have. Call ATV at 528-0226, available 24 hours a day, to find out how you can help and encourage them to call or come in to our drop in center at 1805 Walnut St. in Red Bluff, open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. More in- formation is available on ATV's Facebook page and at ATVRB.org.

VeteranIDCardProgram: http://ads.digitalfirst- media.com/mngi/splash- static/17551/Veteran_ID_ Card_Program.pdf RESOURCES Veterans services, advocacy groups By Kelly Osborne The Tehama County Veterans Service Of- fice is offering VSO ap- pointments at the Veter- ans Hall in Corning to increase services to our Tehama County Veterans. The next Corning VSO walk in appointments will be 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 22 and Nov. 5, 12 and 19. Your participation is encouraged so we can continue to serve all of our veterans in Tehama County. Tehama County Vet- eran ID cards will be available at the Corn- ing VSO schedule. I will need volunteers to assist in Corning with ID Cards until I have additional VA Work Study help in the office. Please contact me if you are interested in volunteering with ID cards at the Corning VSO location. On Nov. 12, the VSO of- fices will begin validat- ing military service for honorably discharged veterans who would like to have "Veteran" noted on their California driv- er's license. As with Te- hama County Veteran ID cards, please bring an original copy or certi- fied copy of your DD-214 and if needed, we can or- der one for you. In order to implement this new service, please call for an appointment in the Red Bluff office, as this is re- quired to be completed by an accredited VSO and not delegated. Corning appointments will be by walk in. Once the driver's li- cense form is com- pleted and validated and stamped by the VSO, the form is ready to be taken to the DMV. Driver's li- cense validation will not be available in the Red Bluff office during the Corning VSO appoint- ment dates. The VSO will issue Te- hama County Veteran ID cards to honorably dis- charged veterans. Please bring an original copy or certified copy of your DD-214 and if needed, we can order one for you. Business owners inter- ested in participating in the Veteran ID card dis- count program, please contact the VSO office at 529-3664. The Veteran ID Cards will not be avail- able in the Red Bluff of- fice during the Corning VSO appointment dates. There are many state and federal benefits and programs available to veterans and their de- pendents. To find out if you are eligible for any of these benefits, call the Tehama County Veterans Service Office (VSO) at 529-3664. As a reminder, the new address is the Bank of America Building, 955 Main St., Ste. C, in Red Bluff. Office appointment hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thurs- day, closed from noon to 1 p.m. for lunch. We are appointment only for claim assistance. Friday's we are closed for admin- istration and outreach. We are looking forward to meeting you or seeing you again on your return visit.
