Mustangs drop two weekend games It was a bad Thanksgiving weekend for the Clinton Junior "D" Mustangs as they lost both of their away games. In Mitchell on October 9 the Mustangs lost 5-2. Scoring the Clinton goals were Steve VanDenDool and Curtis McCone. One bright spot in the Clinton perfor- mance came from goaltender Jeff Roy who played an outstanding game, making ap- proximately 45 saves. Stop, look, listen Running a red light. Ignoring a stop sign. Failing to signal turns or to yield to pedestrians. Operating an improperly maintained vehicle. Sounds like a list of things motorists do wrong — and it it. But, safety experts tell us, it's also an indictment that applies to those •two -wheeled operators — cyclists. The Ontario Cycling Association says there are about one -million cyclists in On- tario. That means about one in six persons ride a bicycle. Unfortunately, safety experts say, many don't do it very well. Twenty-nine cyclists were killed in ac- cidents last year and more than 4,600 in- jured. They had accidents alone, tangled with other cyclists, or collided with cars, and it's believed many more accidents are not reported. The experts say a combination of not knowing the "rules of the road and careless vehicle operation, by both car drivers and cyclists, contributes significant- ly to the accident toll. Both the Ontario Cycling Association, which governs sport cycling in the province, and the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation, which supports amateur sports, have expressed concern about the safety problem. OCA Executive Director Paul Jurbala says, "About one-third of our revenue comes from grants provided by the Ministry's Sports and Fitness Branch. With their help, we've just completed a manual for school children on using the road. We hope to get a pilot program incorporating the manual into schools this fall. He says much more needs to be done to improve cycling bicycle safety. "Many drivers don't respect the bicycle as an equal partner on the road. A common attitude is that bicycles shouldn't be on the road, even though bicycles are acknowledged as vehicles under the Highway Traffic Act." Dan Egan, Bicycle Safety Education Co- ordinator for the Toronto City Cycling Com- mittee, says many cyclists have an attitude problem as well. "For whatever reasons. most cyclists don't consider themselves vehicle operators. They often operate un- predictably, thus contributing to accidents." Most children learn to ride between the ages of five and eight but don't really learn the rules of traffic safety." By the time they're adult riders, they think there's nothing they'Iian learn. even though adult cyclists tend to have the worst habits, Jurbala says. "They ride on the sidewalk instead of the road, and there's a tendency to ignore stop lights and stop signs." ' Sgt. Bernie Kapalka, Supervisor of Com- munity Programs with th'e Metropolitan Toronto Police, does a lot of work with school children on bicycle safety. But he says "it's never too late to learn how to ride a bicycle properly." The experts agree that bicycle safety comes down to two things: more education and more responsible attitudes. "Most accidents can be prevented.' stresses Egan, adding that only five per cent of accidents involve motorists hitting cyclists from behind, "The real hazard comes from cars approaching from straight -on or the left. As a result. cyclists tend to ride too close to the curb and to park- ed cars." Egan advises cyclists to stay at least one metre from parked cars: to travel in a - bike Their outing in Belmont on October 10 was no better as they lost 11-6. Bobby Ladd had two for the Mustangs, as did Mark LaPorte. Mike Ladd and Steve VanDenDool netted one apiece. The Mustangs will travel to Lucan on Oc- tober 14, before playing host to Exeter do October 16 at 8:30 p.m., afd Mount Bridges at 3 p.m. on October 18. safety tips straight line; ride according to the width of the road and surface conditions; avoid sewer grates and ride at a speed consistent with the flow of traffic. "('heck motorists to see if they're noticing ou. If they're nat., try to get their atten- he adds. . • On the question of education, Jurbala says people aren't exactly "knocking down the doors" to learn about bicycle safety. Last winter and spring we gave three or four course's on safe bicycling across On- tario," says Jurbala, adding that a lot more can be done by bicycling clubs to emphasize safety. "If a club or community Organiza- tion wishes to set up a class on bicycle safe- ty, we will gladly supply an instructor." Despite the apparent lack of public de- mand for safety instruction, Marjorie Keast, Manager of the Sports and Fitnt>ss Branch's Community and Safety Section ap- plauds the work of the OCA. "The Miniy is always interested in helping projects ttl3tt may improve safety in sports and we stip- port the OCA in their efforts,",she says. Party planned for Elmer the elephant Elmer, a big name in safety, celebrates his 40th anniversary this year. Elmer, the Safety Elephant ".who never forgets," has been instrumental in getting the safety messages to elementary school children. Elmer was presented initially to Toronto children, and then to pupils throughout On- tario, in 1947 by the Toronto Evening Telegram newspaper. He was subsequently promoted as a traffic safety program sym- bol by police safety officers, and then by the Ontario Safety League with various sponsors. The traditional Elmer flag raising ceremony and his original 6 safety rules are well remembered by generations of srhnol children who participated in Elmer safety programs. Now under the direction of the Canada Safety Council, Elmer is a national safety program. His educational message has expanded throughout the years to in- clude fire, bus and seat belt safety, and is supported by a wide array of accompanying safety materials. Elmer has become a phenomenon, travelling nation-wide various forms from puppets to robots, and appears regularly with the Petro -Canada Road Safety Show.
