Good morning!
First, I want to thank the Pedestrian Safety Board for allowing me to
become a part of a great endeavor! Since I’ve gotten older with more aches
and pains running is not on my list of activities I can do. I’ve adopted
walking which provides many of the health benefits of running. Thank you!
As the director of the WVU-Greater Morgantown Safe Communities Initiative
one of my major efforts will be to connect all of the tremendous efforts in
our community for the purpose of keeping us safe and healthy! My purpose is
not to eliminate or render ineffective any group, individual or effort
attempting to improve our safety and wellbeing. On the contrary, I believe
our collective strengths make us stronger. I’ve primarily coached team
sports in my life and the teams I could blend individual strengths together
as one were usually more successful.
The reason I’m rambling on about this is because during my first meeting
with the Pedestrian Safety Board I became aware that some of our efforts
were being addressed by other groups as well. I’m sharing the email below
because as the WVU-Injury Control Research Center and Safe Communities
Initiative held the Distracted Behavior Task Force meeting others such as
the Pedestrian Board had the same vision. Also, I discovered today that WVU
has a program, Heads Up! WV, that appears to be pursuing pedestrian/cyclist
safety.
So, as I continue forward in my role I think it would be neat if somehow
all of us wanting to make a difference in our community can find an
efficient way to pursue our common vision together. In August I have
scheduled a WVU-Greater Morgantown Safe Communities Advisory Committee.
I’ve attempted to identify individuals in the community that represent
focus areas in a safe community network. In September, I plan to convene a
much larger meeting of all of the partners that had previously collaborated
on the Safe Communities Initiative which led to our national accreditation.
Maybe at that time we can figure out how to work together to achieve the
same goal.
I had been in Morgantown and on this job for a very short time when we went
through the accreditation process. Prior to the beginning of the last day
of the accreditation team’s survey of us I had breakfast with Dr. Lee
Smith, Director of the Mon County Health Department. I shared with him that
I’ve seen many silos, pockets of excellence in the community. We just
needed to get everyone connected. He smiled and said that those were
”cylinders of excellence”! We chuckled and then agreed we need to get those
cylinders in the same engine to move us forward.
I trust you agree! Take care!

*Subject:* DISTRACTED BEHAVIOR TASK FORCE - Consensus Statement FINAL
Hello everyone!
Because I’ll be leaving to head to Chicago for the national conference for
Safe Communities America I wanted to forward this document which is a
product of meeting in July. Moving forward I will update all task force
participants as to activity directed at reducing the impact of distracted
behaviors on injuries and deaths in our city, county and state. We will
stay on this….we owe to the young child, young mother or father that may
never come home because a preventable death or injury occurred because of a
selfish act. We can really LIVE without our phones because others will LIVE
without us using our phones!
Thank you for your participation and feedback on the development of the
consensus statement!
