A spokesman for the Whitby OPP detachment office said that as a result of the RIDE program in the Port Perry area, 21 temporary licence (12-hour) suspensions were handed out to drivers who registered a warning or fail on the roadside breath testing machine. In addition, 12 drivers were charged with impaired driving or registering over .08 on a breath test. And there were five charges laid under the Liquor Licence Act during the five nights the program was in force. RIDE, which stands for Re- duce Impaired Driving Every- where, is part of a province-wide program by the OPP to crack down on drinking drivers. The spokesman said there was DE nabs 38 on | booze related Foto no particular reason why the Port Perry area was selected last week, it was a random choice. And yes, drivers in the Port Perry area can expect to see the RIDE officers checking all vehi- cles again this summer.

His two young daughters Beth and Lea were snug In the back of the canoe over the entire 16-mile course, and It won't be too many years before they are paddling the Nonquon themselves, and Dad will be able to relax in the canoe.

It was an obviously very emo- tional moment for the 73-year old Mrs. Bright.
