The Ontario Medal for - Good Citizenship Fine performances by local ringette players By Gerry Withers A Participaction ad in last week's News stated that there are 59,532 ringette players in Canada. Well, Terrace Bay has 47 of them, and on Sunday, January 14th our 18 Belles and 14 Tweens won the Gold and Silver medals in their respective divisions.at our annual Tween/Belle Tournament. Teams from _ Longlac, Geraldton, White River and Thunder Bay competed with Terrace Bay in a round-robin for- mat. In the Tween division (12 & 13 year olds), in a "down to the wire" game in Sunday morning's round-robin play, Terrace Bay defeated longtime rival, Longlac, by a score of 13-9! Longlac went on to win the Bronze medal against White River. Then, in a contest of on-ice (ie: house league) experience vs. bench- strength, Thunder Bay took the Gold meal in a 10-6 decision over Terrace Bay. In the Belle division, our girls played to a 3-3 draw with Longlac on Saturday afternoon, in a game marked by fast skating, precision passing, and terrific goal tending on the part of both teams. To say the fans were delirious in their excitement and vocal support would be an under- statement! But that was nothing compared to how they reacted on Sunday when Terrace Bay went on to defeat Longlac 7-5 in the Gold medal play-off, a game which, for Terrace Bay's ringette players, was akin to the '72 Canada-Russia hockey match! Our girls have never played better as a team! |.

RIDE Stats (Toronto) -- During December, the Ontario Provincial Police con- ducted its annual festive season R.I.D.E. (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) program across the province. In addition, regular OPP patrols resulted in substantial numbers of vehicles stopped and, in appropriate cases, charges laid. The following statistics are for the OPP's provincial R.I.D.E. program for the four-and- one-half weeks of the month of December, 1987, 1988 and 1989: : No. of vehicles stopped - 1987 235,474; 1988- 292,601; 1989- 248,591 No of persons charged with alcohol related driving offences - 1987- 312; 1988- 381; 1989- 347 No. of 12 hour suspensions - 1987- 1,088; 1988- 1,042; 1989- 857 No. of liquor license charges (I.E. open liquor in vehicle) - 1987- 404; 1988- 393; 1989- 417 Fatal accidents - 1987- 38; 1988- 58; 1989-62 Persons killed - 1987- 45; 1988- 76; 1989-71 No. of persons charged with alcohol related driving offences who were stopped as a result of regular OPP patrols (not ride related) 1987- 544; 1988- 539; 1989- 603 "The high number of fatal accidents this December can be attributed to this year's unseason- able weather," said Insp. Bill Wicklund, Field Coordination Branch. "The poor weather condi- tions also contributed to the decline in the number of R.L.D.E. checks on roads patrolled by the OPP. "Nevertheless, the R.I.D.E. campaign continues to prove itself an effective method of reducing traffic death and injury especially during the festive sea- son," said Wicklund. "However, if more people took the few sec- onds to buckle up even more lives could be saved."
