NN "A Family Tradition for 133 Years" 0 PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, January 19, 1999 - 23 Snowblower target of local thieves Sleds weren't the only winter item on the minds of thieves last week as a Scugog Line 8 resident recently found out. Durham Police report that a red 10-horsepower MTD snowblower was taken from a residence sometime between noon and 3 p.m. on Jan. 17.

(ACROSS FROM PORT PERRY HOSPITAL) OFSC Trail Wardens on patrol Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs' watchdogs will be on the trails to ensure rider safety and to deliver a strong "No Tolerance" message to those without a permit Barrie, Ont., December, 1998: 2,500 Trail Wardens for the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) will be patrolling snowmobile trails this winter to deliver a strong "No Tolerance" message to snowmobilers riding without a 1999 OFSC Trail Permit. The penalty for getting caught is an on-trail permit price of $160 ($130 if purchased beforehand), plus possible trespassing fines. This is the message that has hit the air waves in an exten- sive OFSC radio and tele- vision campaign starting January 1st. Warden blitzes will mark the opening days of the new year, with war- dens from neighbouring clubs coordinating their activities to blanket the trails and discourage freeloaders. According to the OFSC, wardens have the power to enforce the Trespass To Property Act on any trail operated on property for which clubs have land use permission. "In most cases, war- dens will sell a $160 per- mit to anyone who doesn't have one," stated Provincial Warden Coordinator Daryl Grenville, "but persistent freeloaders who play the catch-me-if-you-can game will be issued Notice of Trespass tickets which could result in fines and permanent banning from all OFSC trails. The OFSC operates the world's largest and most successful user pay recre- ational trail system. Premised on each individ- ual user sharing a small portion of the overall annual operating cost of $20 million, Ontario's 49,000 kilometers of good groomed trails are focus of this year's OF SC theme: "Stay on the Marked OFSC Trail". Safety stats clearly show that over 88% of snowmobiling fatalities do not occur on OFSC trails where 90% of the riding in the province occurs. "We succeed in making our trails smooth and safe because most riders sup- port the system by pur- chasing a trail permit," commented OFSC presi- dent Bert A. Grant. "but there are always a few cheaters who try to take a free ride at the expense of their paying friends and neighbours. Freeloaders steal groomed trails from the rest of us." While promoting the benefits of staying on groomed trails, the OFSC is also asking its 200,000 family members and other supporters to discourage cheaters by refusing to ride with unpermitted sleds this winter. Since non support of the user pay system can also hurt the economy of snowbelt communities, many local business are getting on the Buy-A-Permit band wagon by declining service to riders who refuse to buy a permit. "In addition to increased warden patrols, ten popular snowmobiling regions have Snowmobile Trail Officer Patrol (STOP) Programs in place this winter," concluded Grant. "These patrols and check points will mean more enforcement pres- ence as our wardens work with STOP officers and the OPP on our trails." The OFSC is committed to promoting safe, respon- sible riding in Ontario snowmobile trails by con- tinuously improving safe- ty standards, programs and enforcement through proactive leadership, stakeholder partnerships, public education and driv- er training.
