While the number of deaths investigated by the OPP has seen an overall decline to date this season, five tragedies in the past two weeks indicate that sledders are not adjusting their riding habits to the late season conditions. The causes of these tragic deaths are common, predictable and preventable given that alcohol or excessive speed has played a direct role in nearly every fatal incident investigated by police. According to the OPP and the OFSC, sledding alcohol-free, reducing speed to drive within one’s ability and to spring conditions, riding with extra care and control, and always wearing a helmet are all responsible choices that help avoid injury and death. Other responsible choices for snowmobilers - especially during the spring include avoiding closed OFSC trails and staying away from open water and ice that weakens quickly with milder weather and the start of spring run-off. “The people who have died in snowmobile-related incidents had a measure of control over the circumstances that led to their senseless deaths. Had they made different choices, these tragedies would have been prevented,” said Larry Beechey, OPP Deputy Commissioner for Traffic Safety. “We are seeking the help of all snowmobilers to support our safety messages because we all have a role to play in ensuring the safety of everyone who enjoys this winter activity,” stated Chief Superintendent Bill Grodzinski, Divisional Commander of the OPP Highway Safety Division. “Do your part to keep everyone safe while snowmobiling this spring. Positive peer pressure is effective and so does calling your local police service to report operators who continue to make poor decisions while riding,” said Sergeant Michael Price, Off-Road Safety Co-ordinator, Highway Safety Division. The OPP is committed to saving lives on Ontario’s highways, trails and waterways through the reduction of preventable injury and death. Initiatives are developed and delivered through the Provincial Traffic Safety Program. Visit opp.ca for more information. The OFSC is committed to proactive leadership in promoting safe, responsible riding, on and off Ontario snowmobile trails, by building safer snowmobiling knowledge, attitudes and behaviours through rider education, safety legislation development and enforcement. For more information, visit ofsc.on.ca Youth and their families in Huron County will now have improved access to addiction counselling with the addition of a new youth worker at Choices for Change. Thanks to a partnership with the Avon Maitland District School Board and the Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board, Choices for Change is able to hire another counsellor starting in February. This means high schools in Huron County will have the same service currently offered in Perth County, where youth counsellors visit most schools two days a week. Huron Addiction Services was amalgamated with the Stratford- based Choices for Change: Alcohol, Drug and Gambling Counselling Centre, effective January 1, 2011. All Huron-based counsellors stayed on and now work with Choices for Change. “We are excited to be able to increase youth services in Huron County since this area was previously underserviced,” says Catherine Hardman, Executive Director of Choices for Change. “The integration of Huron and Perth addiction services is now official and complete, and thanks to our partnership with the two school boards we’re able to move forward on this initiative without delay.” Five youth addiction counsellors now serve the two counties, offering guidance on all kinds of alcohol and drug-related addiction issues. Students can approach the youth counsellors directly, go through the schools’ student services departments or call Choices for Change to set up an appointment. Sometimes family members are involved in counselling and anyone – from family members and friends to the youths themselves – can access services. The main office in Huron County was moved over the holidays from Clinton to the new Seaforth location at 28 Centennial Dr. People are advised to call for an appointment, rather than just drop in, since the Seaforth office is not always staffed. Addiction services previously provided in Exeter, Wingham, Goderich, and Clinton are still being offered. Ellen Balmain will be leaving the United Way Perth-Huron after having served as Executive Director for more than 11 years to pursue a career opportunity with the City of Stratford. According to Board President Jack Groothuis, Ellen has accomplished much during her time at the United Way. During her tenure the United Way has seen over 100 per cent growth in campaign and has undergone a major shift from a trusted and well respected fundraiser, towards a community development organization spanning two counties. “We are proud of Ellen and her accomplishments in this community. Our organization and our team are both stronger than at any time in our history.Under Ellen’s outstanding leadership over the past eleven years, the United Way has experienced tremendous growth in donor support, and in our capacity to make a difference in our communities. She leaves us well positioned to carry on our work in supporting the many people who rely on United Way on a daily basis. Ellen was instrumental in leading many exciting initiatives, including the Social Research and Planning Council, the Food Security Coalition, 211 services, the Forever Fund and the United Centre. The United Way and our agencies have benefited from her skills and drive,” Groothuis said. “The good news is that Ellen will be with us for a number of weeks as we implement our transition plan. The selection committee has already started its search for a new Executive Director. During our search, it will be business as usual at the agency. We are financially sound, and have a strong and experienced Board of Directors. New leadership also represents an opportunity for the agency. We are confident that our next Executive Director will have the skills and talents to both build on Ellen’s legacy, and to lead the United Way Perth-Huron to even greater success in achieving our mission.” The search for a new Executive Director will commence immediately and take several weeks – Balmain will remain as Executive Director in a full-time capacity then as a support role until the transition is complete. “I have had the wonderful privilege of working these past eleven years with a team of caring, passionate, and gifted staff and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to fulfill our mission of making meaningful and lasting change in our community. We have entered into an important next phase of United Way’s evolution to community impact and I know the organizations and individuals whom I’ve had the incredible good fortune to work with will continue to steward our United Way towards new heights. I am so very proud to work with everyone at United Way – they work each day to create opportunities for a better life for everyone,” Balmain said.
