DUNCAN, Okla._The silhouettes of20 domestic violence victimswere on display Thursday at Fuqua Park.

The Silent Witness Displaywas part of a national initiative that uses life sized silhouettes to represent adults and children who have died. A card is posted next to each victim detailing how they died and who killed them.

October is domestic violence awareness month and supporters said the display sends a powerful message to those suffering from or committing domestic violence.

"We are hoping that these stories that are on these silhouettes will make a difference in people's lives and tell them domestic violence is not okay, and these stories tell how they were murdered and telling them they can get out, it's never too late to get out of a domestic violence situation," said Teresa Biffle, Executive Director of Women's Haven.

The grandparents of Alyssa Wiles, who was murdered one year ago in Duncan at the hands of her ex-boyfriend, visited her display. The grandparents said they hope to shed light on how she died.

Dating violence is there whether they want to see it or not, we had the perfect family until this happened to Alyssa, said Randy Gilreath.

Although the Lake Erie algae problems that contaminated Toledos water supply in early August have subsided, the crisis raised questions about animal manure application on farmland in Ohio and how it may have contributed to the problem.

In response, Ohio State University Extensions agricultural and resource law field specialist has written a summary of Ohio laws relating to livestock and manure handling. OSU Extensions September 2014 Ag Law Bulletin Animal Manure Regulation in Ohio is online at go.osu.edu/manureregpdf.

OSU Extension is the outreach arm of Ohio State Universitys College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences.

I hope the bulletin will help people understand the existing regulatory scheme regarding manure production, handling and use in Ohio, said Peggy Hall, who is also an assistant professor for OSU Extension.

The bulletin covers state and federal regulations, including:

People who dont regularly deal with manure may be surprised to learn that large livestock operations often must obtain permits from both ODA and OEPA before operating a facility, and that land application regulations follow the manure if it leaves a permitted facility, Hall said. Plus, they may not realize that small to midsize farms deal with a different, third agency, and that large manure handlers have education requirements.

Even some farmers may be surprised to learn that soil and water conservation districts provide technical expertise and cost-sharing as preventive measures, Hall said.

Hall said she realizes that the three-page bulletin likely will not answer all questions about manure handling and application in Ohio. She plans to work with Glen Arnold, OSU Extension field specialist in manure management, and Greg LaBarge, OSU Extension field specialist in agronomic systems, to create a Frequently Asked Questions document as a follow-up. Anyone with questions may contact Hall at hall.672@osu.edu, Arnold at arnold.2@osu.edu or LaBarge at labarge.1@osu.edu.

A new study from North Carolina State University sheds light on how some collegiate student-athletes deal with uncertainties ranging from excelling in both school and sports to their career prospects outside of athletics, and urges university athletic programs to adopt new efforts to support student-athletes.

"We wanted to explore how student-athletes at top-tier universities cope with the dual challenges of meeting the expectations of their teams while simultaneously complying with their responsibilities as university students," says Dr. Lynsey Romo, an assistant professor of communication at NC State and lead author of a paper on the work.

The study was based on in-depth interviews with 17 student-athletes at a university that is considered to be "elite" in both its academic and athletic programs.

"This is a qualitative study, so we can't generalize these findings to all college athletes,"Romo says. "But it's highly likely that universities with both high-level academics and athletics can use this information to examine their own programs and explore possible services for their student-athletes."

The researchers found that student-athletes reported feeling uncertain in three areas: personal uncertainty, such as uncertainty about balancing school work and sports; social uncertainty, such as uncertainty related to who their "real" friends are; and future uncertainty, such as uncertainty concerning their post-collegiate careers and whether the time they spend pursuing athletics will hurt their career prospects.

Most of the student-athletes reported using a variety of techniques to reduce uncertainty. These uncertainty-reduction strategies included seeking social support from friends, family, or academic counselors; socializing with friends to take a break from sports and school pressures; negotiating with coaches in an attempt to raise their scholarship; and sometimes concealing their athlete status from peers to minimize people befriending them for the wrong reasons, or prevent negative stereotypes. Other student-athletes came to terms with uncertainty as a natural part of life and turned to prayer to help them cope.

"Our findings suggest that universities can do more to prepare students for life outside of athletics," Romo says. "For example, athletics departments may be able to work with employers to offer flexible paid or unpaid professional internships around student-athletes' seasons. In this way, student athletes can receive work experience in fields outside of sports.

"In addition," Romo says, "university athletics programs should take steps to give student-athletes more free time -- what is sometimes overlooked amidst a heavy athletics and academic schedule is the scholar athletes' need to unwind and decompress. Study participants reported having to make a concerted effort to see family and friends, often at the cost of time that could have been devoted to schoolwork. They need more downtime."

The paper, "'You Never Know What's Gonna Happen': An Examination of Communication Strategies Used by College Student-Athletes to Manage Uncertainty," is published online in the journal Communication & Sport.

Insight into challenges facing college athletes

To every thing there is a season.

As the minister read Ecclesiastes 3 to the assembled at Memorial Square in Barrie Wednesday afternoon, a flock of grey pigeons rose above the Canadian flag, breaking away from the white seagulls they'd been flying with around the shoreline to perch on a rooftop across the street.

Against a grey sky, a faint mist fell as Rev. Colin MacDonald read from the Old Testament in memory of Lucy Pinho and other homeless people who've recently died in the city of Barrie.

There's a time to be born and time to die, MacDonald said to the social workers who sat beside homeless people, and to street beat police officers who were there to pay their respects to Pinho who was found dead near the washrooms at Heritage Park Friday, Sept. 5.

Originally from Toronto, Pinho had moved to Barrie and at one point, accepted the services of the Canadian Mental Health Association and the David Busby Street Centre. But due to mental illness, Pinho became distrustful of people and being inside buildings, and refused to enter churches during the coldest months of the year to take comfort in the Out of the Cold program.

There's a time to weep and a time to laugh, the minister said to the middle-aged woman carrying two white and one blue rose in memory of a lady she'd never met.

Debbie said she drove up from Mississauga after she'd visited Barrie in September, and followed the white ribbons tied around poles and sign posts to the similarly decorated grate where Pinho used to sleep.

Tears were quickly brushed away as she described her own life two years ago, living in her van in the snow without a home and how when she saw Pinho's grate, she knew how easily that could have been her own fate.

Pinho slept on a steel platform in an alleyway behind the TD bank on Collier Street, but was asked to vacate the property by city staff who said they'd received complaints that a woman was camping downtown.

Near the end of August, a large fence was installed around the grate so she couldn't return to the spot and soon afterward, her health began to fail.
