"paige 15; Tuesday, October 27, 1992 Keep safety in mind while trick-or-treating Soon the streets will be filled with little ghosts and goblins trick or treating in the neighborhood. Here are some tips that will help your child have a safe, fun-filled evening: eonly purchase or design costumes using flame-resistant or flame-retardant materials. eMake sure children have adequate vision through masks (face paint is preferable and more fun). eGive your child a green Halloween Cyalume Glowstick, or affix a bright magic in the Night Lightshape stick on button to his or her costume. These safe, inexpensive chemical light products are fun for the children and make it a lot easier for passing cars to spot them-and for parents to supervise them. WINNERS WEEK #1 OCT. 17/92 Mrs. Pat Kuper Rockwood Ave. Thunder Bay, Ont. WEEK #2 OCT 24/92 Pat Legacy Nipigon, Ont. BIG BUCK$ BINGO Always accompany young children, and arrange for older children to travel with friends. Tell your children to save all candy and fruit until they get home, and closely inspect it before allowing them to eat it. Advise them not to accept any unwrapped candy. *Also remember that a jack- o-lantern can be a fire hazard. Instead of a candle, place a non-flammable, glowing Cyalume Lighstick inside the pumpkin for long-lasting, safe illumination. Okay, Blue Jays! continued from page 4 At a time when our country faces both economic and political uncertainty it took America's Nation Sport to get each and every Canadian cheering. For once the referendum was not the only conversation topic. One thing Canadians can and should be proud of is the way we supported the hometown (or country) team. Even when our team was down by a run we kept that in mind and cheered them on. When the U.S. flew our flag upside down we took that in stride-souvenir dealers had a field day with that one, printing up t-shirts poking fun at the slight. And what a gesture by those at Skydome. Fans came to the home of the Jays to watch the final in Atlanta on the huge Jumbotron, for free. They can say they may not have been at Fulton County Stadium but they were in the next best place. And whenever October and the World Series' begins, Canadian fans will remember the 1992 team that brought the trophy home. TIPS ON-- HOW TO WRITE A CLASSIFIED Ride Safe, Ride Sober continued from page 2 deaths and injuries were males, especially young males. Almost 94 per cent of the fatal- ities recorded were males, and two out of every three of those males were between the ages of 15 and 34. Although females suffered fewer injuries, the age distribu- tion of those killed and injured was similar to males. About 65 per cent of females who sus- tained injuries were between the ages of 15 and 34. From 1988-1990, snowmo- biling fatalities were reported in 32 district/regional munici- palities/ counties in Ontario. Those with the highest number included Sudbury (15 deaths), Haliburton (10), Algoma (9), Muskoka and Simcoe (seven each). The highest proportion of fatalities (56 per cent) occurred on lakes and rivers, whereas the highest percentage of non- fatal injuries (42 per cent) were sustained in mishaps on streets and highways. Few mishaps occurred on snowmobile trails: from January 1, 1988 to December 31, 1990, only three of 110 fatalities occurred on snowmobile trails; all were the result of operator error. The circumstances of the fatality reflect the location. From January 1, 1988 to December 31, 1990, 40 of 110 (37 per cent) fatalities were drownings; the remainder were the result of severe injuries: 19 fatalities were a result of a col- lision with a motor vehicle (16) or a train (three), 15 were a result of a collision with anoth- er snowmobile, and the remain- der (36) were single machine mishaps, either a collision with a fixed object (e.g. a tree), or falling off or being thrown off the machine. Alcohol and speed, either separately or in combination, are the two most prominent contributing factors in snow- mobile mishaps. They were involved in 77 per cent and 55 }. per cent, respectively, of 106] fatalities for which such data were obtained in the winters from 1988-89 to 1990-91. Other factors relevant to mishaps included unlicensed drivers (involved in 16 per cent } of injuries) and loss of control (involved in 17 per cent of injuries). Snowmobiling injuries and fatalities tended to occur during hours of darkness; about 80 per cent f all mishaps involving a fatality and 52 per cent of mishaps involving a non-fatal injury occurred between 6 p.m.' and 6 a.m. The month with the; highest number of recorded fatalities and injuries was. January, and over 80 per cent. of mishaps occurred between, mid-December and late; February.
