World renowned Canadian
pianist, Jane Coop will perform
Bart6k's Piano Concerto No. 3 with
Orchestra London, Wednesday and
Thursday, Jan. 25 and 26, 8 p.m. at
Centennial Hall. The program for
this concert will also include
Berlioz's Bob Roy Overture and
Brahms' Symphony No. 3. The
conductor for these concerts is
Maestro Paul Polivnick, a
candidate in the Orchestra's music
director search.
Jane Coop launched her career,
after studying with Anon Kuerti
and Leon Fleisher, by winning the
Washington International Piano
Competition and the CBC National
Young Performers' Competition.
She also won major awards at the
New York Artists' Guild, Maryland
and Munich International Competi-
tions. She appears regularly with
"Many lakes have not completely
frozen over, leaving a thin layer of
ice, too weak to support snow-
mobiles and their passengers. If
you stay on recommended trails,
you will reduce the risk of
snowmobile accidents dramatically.
If you travel off trail, you are
taking a far greater risk."
Strong words of advice from
Anne Swarbrick, Ontario's Minister
of Culture, Tourism and
Recreation. Unfortunately five
people paid the price by losing their
lives in off-trail snowmobile-
related accidents in the province
between Dec. 8-11.
A 34-year-old man was killed
Dec. 11 at Novar, 13 kilometres
north of Huntsville when his
snowmobile collided head-on with
a truck. Police believe alcohol an
speed were contributing factors.
Dec. 10, two men fell through the
ice on Meteor Lake, about 80
kilometres north of Sudbury, just
south of Westree. The body of a
67-year-old Westree man was
recovered. His companion is
missing and presumed drowned.
The same day, a 57-year-old man
was driving on private property
near his home in Shakespeare, near
Stratford, when his machine hit an
embankment in a drainage ditch.
Speedy was a suspected cause. A
41-year-old female pedestrian died
Dec. 8 in Blake Township near
Thunder Bay when she was struck
from behind by a 21-year-old male
driver.
In an attempt to prevent tragedies
like these from occurring, the
province-wide "Ride Safe, Ride
Sober" snowmobile safety
campaign, managed and operated
by the Ontario Snowmobile Safety
Committee (OSSC), is conducting
an even more aggressive education
blitz this winter. The Committee's
SLEDSMART Safety Education
Team has been visiting schools
across Ontario since October,
instructing students on what is
necessary to ensure safe and
responsible handling of a
snowmobile. Coupled with local
campaigns by various
communities, snowmobile clubs
and other service organizations,
"Ride Safe, Ride Sober" i s
becoming a household word.
This year, the OSSC has initiated
the major orchestras of North
America and in broadcasts and
recitals from coast to coast.
Ms Coop also performs fre-
quently outside North America.
Her tours have included the former
USSR and Yugoslavia, France,
Poland, Holland, Czechoslovakia,
Japan, Korea, Hungary, China,
Hong Kong and England. Critics
have delighted in her virtuosity,
technical facility and beguiling
interpretation.
Her recordings for CBC range
from Scriabin, Beckwith and Hetu
to the popular recording Romantic
Piano. Under the Skylark label, she
has released complete albums of
Bacha, Haydn, Beethoven and
Mozart piano pieces and quartets.
Two of her Mozart recordings were
nominated for JUNO Awards. Her
latest release is a collection of
a number of projects to help spread
the word about snowmobile safety
across Ontario. Among them:
• Final report of the recommenda-
tions from the international
conference, "Putting Safety on
Track", held in Markham Oct. 12-
14, will be forwarded to all
delegates in January. The OSSC,
aided by key stakeholders, will
formulate a model action plan for
snowmobile safety by addressing
the recommendations.
• production of a "Family Guide
to Safe Snowmobiling", scheduled
for research in February
• production of a helmet safety
education tool, ready for release
in February "Ride Safe, Ride
Sober" campaign to students and
community groups
• distribution of a pamphlet
containing safety tips early in
January
• independent study to evaluate
the first three years of the "Ride
Safe, Ride Sober" program
• data study profiling fatal and
non-fatal snowmobile injuries
requiring medical attention,
including contributing factors,
demographics and participation
levels
• new radio and television public
service announcements
A number of communities are
operating programs this winter to
help reduce snowmobile accidents.
Examples of annual community
events associated with the safety
campaign include YAMAFEST, to
be held in Feb. 3-5 in Sudbury, and
SNOFEST in Owen Sound Feb.
11-12. The events are expected to
attract thousands of participants
from across Ontario.
This is the fourth year of the
"Ride Safe, Ride Sober" campaign.
Last year, there was a significant
improvement, with a 41 per cent
drop in snowmobile fatalities,
down to 23 from an average of 39
deaths in each of the previous four
years. In general, the vast majority
of fatalities arc men, the majority in
the 18 to 34-year-old age group.
While females suffer fewer
injuries, about two-thirds of those
injured ranged in age between 15
and 34.
"As we enter the holiday season,
works by Brahms, Mozart, Faure
and Mendelssohn.
Ms Coop's recent engagements
have been with orchestras in
Seattle, Hungary, Hong Kong,
Vancouver and Winnipeg. Over the
summer, she returned to the
position of Artistic Director of the
Young Artists' Experience at
Whistler, BC and in August she
worked with the Miami Quartet at
the University of Western Wash-
ington. Upcoming appearances
include work with the orchestras of
Hong Kong, China, Vancouver,
plus recitals in Beijing, Shanghai,
Tokyo, Winnipeg, Victoria and
North York. She lives with her
husband and daughter in
Vancouver, where she is professor
of piano and chamber music at the
University of British Columbia.

think safety first before heading out
for a ride," Ms Swarbrick advised
the snowmobiling public. "We've
experienced a very mild fall. Stay
alive by keeping off lakes and
rivers. Our messages are simple
and to the point. Use recognized
snowmobile trails. Don't drink and
ride. Don't speed. Also, ensure your
sleds are in good working order and
that you carry an emergency kit
with you at all times."
For a list of recommended trails
in your area, contact your local
snowmobile club.
The OSSC is comprised of six
government ministries, a host of
provincial service organizations
and the snowmobile industry.
Members on the committee include
the Ministries of Culture, Tourism
and Recreation, Transportation,
Natural Resources, Northern
Development and Mines, Attorney-
General,, Solicitor General,
Federation of Ontario Cottagers
Association, the Royal Life Safety
Society Canada (Ontario Branch),
Think First Canada, the Ontario
Federation of Snowmobile Clubs,
the Addiction Research Founda-
tion, and three snowmobile
manufacturers: Arctic Cat,
Bombardier Inc. and Yamaha
Motor Canada Ltd.
