Most of the data suggests the use of seatbelts in passenger vehicles can reduce the risk of injury during a colli- sion. In California there are sever- al laws pertaining to the use of seatbelts including the mandatory seatbelt law. The use of seatbelts has been linked to reducing injuries resulting from traffic colli- sions; therefore, many law enforcement agencies have con- ducted specialized enforcements better known by the commercial slogan "click it or ticket." These specialized enforcement efforts are collaborated by the efforts of the California Office of Traffic Safety (O.T.S.). Objects in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Of course when Sir Isaac Newton completed his 1687 publication of the Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica the automobile had not been invented. However, Newton's stud- ies with regard to objects in motion remain resourceful and vital to the innovation of safety restraints. If a vehicle is traveling at 55 miles per hour (MPH) the occu- pants, pets, and items inside the vehicle are traveling at 55 MPH. Should the driver for whatever rea- son lose control of the vehicle, leave the roadway and collide with a large tree, the vehicle will sud- denly stop. Although the vehicle has suddenly stopped, the people and objects are still traveling at 55 MPH and will not stop until anoth- er force; such as, vehicle's dash- board, windshield, or other object acts upon them. The seatbelt is designed to secure the occupants of a vehicle against harmful movement that may result from a collision with a fixed object or other motor vehicle. Seatbelts are intended to reduce injuries by stopping the occupants from hitting hard interior objects like the vehicle components men- tioned above or other pas- sengers. Seatbelts also absorb energy and are designed to stretch during an impact to compensate for the speed differential between the passenger's body and the sudden stop- ping of the vehicle. Section 27315(d) (1) of the California Vehicle Code requires any person who is operating a motor vehicle upon a roadway and the passengers over the age of 16- years old to wear seatbelts. It is the driver's responsibility to ensure all passengers under the age of 16 years- old are properly restrained in a safety belt. This same law also requires the occupants "properly" use the safety belts. For example, the wearing a shoulder restraint seatbelt under the arm would constitute a violation of this section. I have fielded numerous ques- tions regarding child safety seats, which seems to have caused confu- sion among motorists. The law requires a parent or legal guardian to transport a child in the "rear seat" of their vehicle in a child pas- senger restraint system, which meets Federal motor vehicle safety standards unless the child meets one of the following conditions: (1) the child is 6 years of age or older or (2) weighs 60 pounds or more. For those who don't own a car or truck with a backseat there is an exception to the law, which allows a child who is neither 6 years-old nor 60 pounds to ride in the front seat of a vehicle. These exceptions are: the rear seats are side-facing jump style seats, the child passen- ger restraint system can- not be installed properly in the rear seat, the rear seats are already occu- pied by children under the age of 12 years, or a medical reason necessi- tates that a child not ride in the rear seat; however, the court may require satisfactory proof of the child's medical condi- tion. These exemptions only refer to transport- ing children in the front seat. Small children still have to be transported in child safety seats. "They are crucial to the safety of young children during vehicle collisions," says Chief Nanfito of the Red Bluff Police Department.

Gene Randall Cop's Corner Seatbelt safety Police reports Legislative Fellowship deadline approaching The application dead- line for the 2010-2011 California Senate Fel- lows program is quickly approaching – and applications are now available in the office of Senator Sam Aanestad, R-Grass Valley, and are available online. Established in 1973, the California Senate Fellows program is one of the oldest and most distinguished service learning programs in the country. It offers college graduates a paid, full- time legislative staff position in the State Capitol for eleven months. The application post- mark deadline for the 2010-2011 California Senate Fellows is Feb. 24. The CSF program is jointly sponsored by the California State Senate and the Center for Cali- fornia Studies at Cali- fornia State University, Sacramento. Fellowship opportunities are also available in the Califor- nia State Assembly, the Governor's Office and the California Judicial Council. The only requirement for the CSF program is a college degree and there is no preferred major since work in the policy arena covers a vast num- ber of issues. Individu- als with advanced degrees and those in mid-career are encour- aged to apply. Although no previous political or legislative experience is necessary, applicants should have a strong interest in public policy and politics. Senate Fellows are offered a stipend of $1,972 per month plus earn generous health, vision and dental bene- fits. They earn 12-units of graduate credit from California State Univer- sity, Sacramento for the academic portion of the program. Eighteen California Senate Fellows will be selected to serve as full- time Senate staff for 11 months beginning in October 2010.

Nurse training offered at Simpson University Northern California Faith Community Nurses has sched- uled a basic training for faith community nurses at Simpson University in Redding. The training includes 32 hours of instruction for certification. Licensed RNs will receive con- tinuing education credit. The training requires pre-reg- istradon and will be held on two consecutive weekends in Febru- ary. Brochures are available by contacting Amy Hawes at 229- 8495 or Jean Krueger at 842- 4217. Faith community nurses address health issues of the mem- bers of a faith community. The experience the nurse has gathered working in other med- ical areas or specialties aids the nurse with assessment of health status, health needs, and collabo- ration with health agencies. What makes the specialty dif- ferent is the conscious partnering of health issues with the faith of the client and client's family. The core to this practice is the intentional care of the spirit of those the FCN assists. Partners in the training along with NCFCN include Simpson University, Shasta County Public Health, Mercy Medical Center of Redding, and Northwest Parish Nurse Ministries.
