Some reasons for this might include driver impairment (alcohol or drugs), problems with night vision, or just plain old fatigue. Here are some tips on night driving. * Drive defensively. Remember, this is the most dangerous lime. * Don't drink and drive. * Adjust your rearview mirror to reduce tire glare from headlights behind you. * Since you can't see as well, you may need to slow down and keep more space between you and otiter vehicles. It's hard to tell how fast the vehicle ahead is going just by looking at its taillights. * Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your headlights can light up only so much road ahead of you, don't "overdrive" them. * In remote areas, watch for animals. * If you're tired, pull off the road in a safe place and rest. * Keep the windshield and all the glass on your vehicle clean to reduce glare. * Keep your eyes moving; that way, it's easier to pick out dimly lit objects.

The first steps in doing so were taken last Thursday afternoon, when the club held a media session to announce announce the agenda for the upcoming hockey season. Among the more notable changes will be the look of the club. Sweater colors similar to those of the Ottawa Senators of the NHL, as well as a new logo, will usher in the team's next 25 years. Those are just the cosmetic changes. There will also be changes on the ice as well. Nine spots will be up for grabs When training camp opens on Tuesday, September 6, at the Bowmanville Recreation Complex. Complex. One of the only carry-overs from last year's team will be the coaching staff. After lengthy negotiations, Mark Watson has been inked to a one-year deal with the team. His assistants assistants from a year ago, Nick Dennis Dennis and John Meulenbroeks, will also be back in the fold. "I'm very satisfied. I hope they are," said Watson in reference to his hiring for a second straight year by the organization. Watson admitted being approached approached by some other junior teams. But his first choice was returning returning to Bowmanville if the financial financial terms he wanted were met. Dundas, where he coached previously previously for 12 seasons, topped the list of teams he would have moved to as a last resort. One of the few items that remains remains unchanged is the desire to cop another Central League championship. championship. And, more importantly, another another run at a provincial title. Clarke High School Volleyball Star Part Of Provincial Team . Clarke High School graduate, Daryl Daryl Reid will be among the members of the Ontario Men's Provincial Volleyball Volleyball Team representing Canada at the next North, Central American and Caribbean Games (NORCECA).

If he doesn't make it in Peterborough, Peterborough, he has expressed an interest, in returning to Bowmanville. "I wish him the best of luck in Peterborough, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see him back here," admitted Watson. On the recruiting front, Laing has commitments from two players with OHL experience, and is in the pro cess of convincing a third to sign with the team in time for the 1994- 95 campaign..
