12-Orono WeekIy Tinmes, Wednesday, January 31, 1M9 19,*i Bramah and h is Ontairio Every year 1 try to get ou t for a day of ice fishing. Sometimes 1 get out on Penetang, a few miles from our farm. Right now I'm in Pompano Beach morth of Miami. It's sort of a workîng holiday. 'm dlown here writing another book about Ontario and our rambles throughout the prov ince." But next month l'Il be able to get back in stride for my annual foray with the fish. If I feel particularly energetic, 1 might take a run up to North Bay and plod over the ice to one of the hunts on Lake Nipissing. If I'm in an expansive mood, l'Il drive over to Beaverton to one of the fish hut camps and go out on Lake Simcoe by taxi! The taxis aren't of the usual variety. They're more like a small bus with skis and tracks. They skim across the ice to the huts which are about two miles out on the lake. I remember one blustery day when Floyd Hales, a veteran operator, was taking us out. On the way back we hit a series of white- outs. That didn't bother Floyd a bit. He knew exactly where he was going. His secret was simple. Fish hut operators blaze a trail with small pine trees they plant in the ice when the season opens. On stormy days they just follow the pines to the shore. When Floyd retired, Bill and Gale Vîveen bought the business. Bill has been fishing the lake since he was a boy, and is quite an authority. He know.s the spots the perch and herring frequent and where the wvhite fish and lake trout roam. The last time Terry and myself Toundertake strict speed entorcement on 401 Highway Recently there hias been much concern expressed regarding the ex- cessive speeds and other traffic violations occuring on Hwy. 401 and other multi-lane highways. A review of collision data from our three detachments responsible f'or policing Hwy. 401 - Brighton, Cobourg and Newcastle - indicates that "speed too fast" continues to be the main cause of motor vehicle accidents. Increased speed also increases the severity,,of injuries sustained in ac- cidents. Excessive speed leads to other forms of aggressive driving behaviour such as unsafe passage maneuvers and reduced following distances. In conjunction with Ontario Pro- vincial Police officers along the length of Hwy,ý. 401 and the Queen Elizabeth Way, mnembers of No.8 District O.P.P. wvill be patrolling ihay401 with the intention of strictly enforcing the rules of the road. In addition to attention to mlov- ng iolations, the motoring public should expect strict enforcemient of seatbelt violations. An analysis of thle 1989 fatal motor vehicle ac- cidents within the district revealed that 50 percent of thosýe killed, who had seatbhls available to lhemi, were not wearing themi.

Terry has shot film in various parts of the world and has aIl sorts of adventures, but he'd neyer been ice fishing! As we left in the taxi, he seemed a bit sceptical about the whole thing. But when we arrived at thec site and went into one of the roomy huts where the Americans wvere fishing, his eyes lit Up. The seats of foamn and leather, the propane furnace ini the corner,' t-he coziiis of the hut and the fishermien looking over their catch of several lake trout were im- pressive. The grouIp had lived there for thiree days. "This isn't what I had expected," said Terry. "I couldn't see the p oint in siing in the cold waiting for fish to bite. But this is sheer luxury. - I suppose he had a point. On the other hand, most huts I've been in provide lots of protection. They look coîd and barren from the out- side, but inside you get a feeling of solid comfort and solid isolation.
