MILFORD, PA — David Bever, executive director of Safe Haven of Pike County, spoke on October 2 as the county commissioners named October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Pike. Noting that both men and women are victims of domestic violence, Bever said incidents like the recent video of NFL running back Ray Rice punching his then fiancée quickly lose focus. Since then, he said there has been little about Rice, more about the NFL’s handling of the incident and speculation about his now-wife’s continuing to stay with Rice for “money and fame.” Bever said that most women stay out of “fear for their lives,” as leaving is the time when most women are killed. Safe Haven sponsored a candlelight vigil and march on October 8 in Milford. Visit www.shopc.org for more information and a complete list of the month’s activities.
