Flashback Friday
With the start of the school year, we'd thought we'd flashback to summer when Flat Stanley joined us at the 3M Open PGA tournament.
Hats off to all the readers out there and hope you enjoy your adventures this year.

The Move Over law was passed to protect those assisting at road side scenes- first responders, tow truck drivers, etc. - in memory of State Trooper Corporal Ted Foss.
Today we take a moment to honor and remember, and act- Move Over, as families depend on it.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the tragic passing of Minnesota State Patrol Trooper Ted Foss. Cpl. Foss was conducting a routine traffic stop on the shoulder of I-90 in Winona County on Aug. 31, 2000, when he was hit and killed by a passing vehicle. His story is a powerful reminder of why we must move over and slow down for vehicles on the shoulder.
In his honor and to save lives on Minnesota roads, on Sunday, August 31, law enforcement across the state will be actively enforcing the Ted Foss Move Over Law. Failing to change lanes or slow down endangers other drivers and emergency professionals and can leave you facing a fine of more than $100.

Drivers need to remember:
-Move Over. On a road with two or more lanes going the same direction, you must move over one full lane from stopped emergency and maintenance vehicles as well as any vehicle with its hazards on.
- Slow Down. If you can't move over safely, you must slow down.
Watch for People. The law also applies to people who are outside their vehicles.

Let's all do our part to keep each other safe on the road. When you see flashing lights, stalled vehicles or people on the side of the road, slow down and move over a lane to keep travelers safe and to give roadway workers room to do their jobs safely.
