Town police to keep drivers
More than 36.,0000 �danadianai died in traffic a
cidenta in the past five years, more than double the
number of Canadian deaths over the same period of
tittle during the Second World War. Of this figure an
estimated 40 per cent of all drivers and 50 per cent of
all adult pedestrians killed were impaired at the time
of death, according tb figures released by Transport
Canada.
The Goderich Police Department will continue.

drivers in the towai iwawa wxc.. :waE; 11
breathalyzer apnrop>! Lately called "ALERT"
(Alcohol Level Evaluation Roadside Tester).
The new device will be used for an on -the -spot
check to determine whether a person has consumed
alcohol over the limits set by law. Although it does not
give the reading in milligrams, it dives the officer an
indication before he makes an clidal arrest for a
thorough reath analysis, according to Goderich,
Constable, Peter Mason.
Mason acknowledged that there has been a marked
increase in the number of impaired drivers ap.
prehended On the weekends.
"The new equipinent will help us determine
whether a person should be iltstlrlucted to park their
car or. whether wa should take them to the local
detachmentfor: abreath analysis,", he said.
Mason said that the police are also considering
implementing a RIDE program similar to the one
introduced in Toronto. The program will consist of a
series of spot checks with police randomly stopping
cars over a period of time.
"The program isnot meant to harass people but to
1 try to stop impaired drivers," Mason said:.
Contrary to what many motorists believe, a police
officer can conduct a search of all persons In a vehicle

and 56 of the Highway Traffic Act.
The O.oderich Police Force will be using the new
"ALERT" device on various streets and on The
Square during the summer months and caution
motorists who are drinking and driving that they may
be stopped for a test.
Board endorses faith day outline
lJ4Jd3l�1LV -t1/U4iui G for a ii%iuv.aita &-y :a
-
presented to the Huron -Perth Separate School Board
at its May 10 meeting.
Trustee Ray Van Vliet, chairman of the focus on
faith ad hoc committee, presented a draft plan to the
board for information. When a definite plan, in-
cluding a date, location and guest speaker are deter-
mined, it will be brought back to the board.
The theme for the day will be the "Catholic
Trustee, Faith and the Community." Objectives are
to bring trustees, community representatives, prin-
cipals and administration together to think about
their faith, its growth, celebrate their faith and to add
to the faith in the school system.
"Our faith is the only reason for our school board,"
said Mr. Van Vliet.
He said trustees, because they are in a leadership
role, must grow in their faith. He added trustees
nnt. he satisfied with a ode 8 knovirledu' of _
their faith.
Several trustees expressed pleasure for the idea of
a focus on faith day and encouraged•Mr. Van Vliet to
continue with his plans.
NO ACTION
The board will take no action regarding reconunen-
dations from a coroner's inquest into a school bus ac-
cident on Sept. 9, 1981 which resulted in the death of
five-year-old Paul Riegling of Kingsbridge.
Two recommendations made by the jury were that
bus drivers keepflashing lights on while in front of a
child's home ansignal to the child when it may cross
the road and also if bus drivers pull over to let other
drivers pass, that it be done between pickup points
and the flashing lights be turnedoff.
"The (transportation) committee feels both these
things are being done," said Trustee Ron Marcy •
