Bill Wicklund, Traffic and Marine Section. "The public~s driving practices will determine the number of traffic accidents and fatalities this summer." This is the first year of OPP's enhanced year-round RIDE stopchecks. "Motorists should remember that OPP RIDE units will be operating in cottage country this summer," said Wicklund. The July 1 holiday weekend also begins the first month of fuIl-time living at the summer cottage or beach for many urban families. It's a time for swimming and boating and for safety rules. "The upcoming holiday weekend offers parents an excellent opportunity to review rules about water and boating safety with their youngsters before leaving for cottage country," said S/Sgt. Larry Smith of the marine unit. According to Smith, almost al boating and water-related accidents could be avoided. Fie recommends parents set a good example for youngsters ..by making certain they, obey water and boating regulations. "One of the most important examples parents can set is to provide a personal floatation device for every person, including children, who go boairng," said Smith. "And, of course, no one should be drinking and boating. It's dangerous, illegal and deadly." Already' this year, 12 people have died in boating, related deaths on waterways patrolled by the OPP. "Safety on roadways or waterways requires a proa commitment from each of us," said Wicklund. "Make this July 1 holiday weekend- memorable because you and your family had a good, safe time and not a holiday marred by tragedy."
