"It's not a private matter anymore. It's a community matter." The shelter has been operating oper-ating at 75 to 85 percent capacity for the past five months, according to Montemurro. The Peace House and the Summit Domestic Violence Coalition are hosting a Candlelight Vigil Thursday, Oct. 10, at "the Miners Hospital from 5:45 to 7 p.m. Summit County Commissioner Shauna Kerr will read a proclamation at the vigil that she signed last week supporting October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. "It's very fortunate that we have a facility for victims of abuse, but it's unfortunate that the number of people needing it continues to rise each year." Kerr said. "It really has crossed our economic, eco-nomic, religious and ethnic barriers. No segment of our society is exempt from it." Kerr hopes the Candlelight Vigil will help to raise community consciousness that could, in time, help thwart domestic violence in society.

"We have seen an increase of women who are walk ins and are not Maying overnight, but they are coming in to tell us their slory and see if it's abuse." said Montemurro, who also reported that domestic abuse is a statewide crisis. "Statistically speaking, work done by the Governors office indicates that one out of eight women is physically abused, one out ol three women are emotionally abused and one out of live young high school age women might enter into a relationship where she will be abused while d.iling." she said. "So. il becomes a com munity matter because we all have moms, we all have sisters and female friends. We all have women around in our lives, and we might become one of those statistics."
