wy" 12 -- Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, November 21, 1994 = Dial your way for winter driving conditions Help is just a phone call away for travellers looking for up-to- date information on winter weather and driving conditions on Ontario highways. "Our government is committed to safety," said Transportation Minister Mike Farnan. "And safety is what guides all of our winter maintenance activities-- from patrolling our highways, to plowing, to getting information to the public." The Ministry of © Transportation's local and toll- free telephone lines provide reports on all provincial highways. Callers can speak directly with an information officer or use a touch-tone or cellular phone to listen to bilingual recorded information. The seasonal service is available starting today 24 hours-a-day, seven days a week, until April 3, 1995. The reports contain the latest information gathered from a computerized weather-tracking system with road condition updates from local ministry maintenance staff. "Our people are out there patrolling all of Ontario's highways so they know the driving conditions on any given road firsthand," said Farnan. "Travellers can rely on us to let them know what to expect when they get behind the wheel. That way, they can choose the safest route to their destination or decide to wait out a storm." How soon a provincial highway is cleared after a snowfall depends on the severity of the storm, the highway's location and the volume of traffic it carries. In most cases, roads are cleared within 24 hours after a snowfall. When a snowfall first begins, spreaders apply salt to prevent ice from forming. The salt will help the plows clear the snow as it begins to accumulate. Sand is used when the temperature falls below -18C, when salt is no longer effective. It does not melt snow or ice, but does provide better traction for vehicles. "Our experienced staff can deal with every imaginable weather condition," Rarnan added. The Ontario wide number is 1-800- 268-1376. Our mistakes Our story about the ward 4 election results in the November 15 Scugog Citizen mis-quoted winner Joyce Kelly. The quote by Mrs. Kelly should have read "I realized I was up against a strong contender, but I'm glad it ended the way it did." Also in our election coverage, the story about the Durham Board of Education race should have contained a comment by incumbent trustee Bobbie Drew who wished opponent Carol Switzer "happiness and fulfilment." The Citizen regrets the error and the oversight. Planning your Wedding? Make it easy by using the services of these helpful and caring professionals.
