But it's not time to start sledding yet and for safety's sake, the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) cautions snow- mobilers to keep their sleds parked for now. Going for even a short snow- mobile ride can be very danger- ous at this time. The ground, waterways and swamps are not frozen yet, nor is there enough snow base to protect yourself or your sled from terrain irregulari- ties or other obstacles. Grooming operations have not started yet, so no OFSC trails are available to ride and all access to trails private property remain closed. Snowmobilers are also reminded to stay off public roads and farmers' fields. For updates on trail status across Ontario, the OFSC rec- ommends that snowmobilers visit the Interactive Trail Guide at HYPERLINK " \n _blank- www.ofsc.on.ca. 4111 4, At least 80 percent of all fire deaths occur in home fires.

The deliberate destruction at the K2 Wind project is not a prank, or simply vandalism, or something to be dismissed because 'it serves them right, they don't belong here'. It is a serious threat to our Canadian ideals, ethics and moral code. It must not be tolerated. Regardless of our personal political opinions about wind energy, we can all agree that we want our community to remain peaceful and safe, a home for people of principles and integrity. So let's all display a symbol of what's really important to us - the Canadian flag. We can leave the arguing about wind energy to the lawyers, restore peace to our community, and show a united stance against violence. Martin Luther King Jr. said" Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter". This matters. Be silent no longer. PS. Coincidentally, I happen to own 50 laminated 12" x18" Canadian flags perfect for nailing on fence posts, telephone poles, mail boxes - or for display in your window.
