During the fourth week of the five week driving initiative, 86,670 vehicles were checked at roadside checkpoints. A total of 150 12 -hour suspensions were issued and 66 persons were charged with alcohol-related Criminal Code dri- ving offences, a decrease of six from the same period in 2003. The OPP also issued 65 administrative 90 -day drivers licence suspensions during the week. For the first four weeks of the RIDE campaign, 338,029 vehicles have been checked compared to 410,060 in the same period of 2003. Persons charged with impaired driving offences for the same four weeks have decreased from 345 in 2003 to 252 in 2004. A total of 529 12 -hour suspensions have been issued so far in the 2004 campaign com- pared to 801 in 2003. During the past four weeks, 34 people have died in 30 collisions compared to 41 lives lost in 31 collisions in 2003. Unfortunately, two of these lives were lost in alcohol-related crashes. The OPP wishes all residents of Ontario a safe and prosperous new year and reminds motorists to make alter- nate driving arrangements if they plan to consume alcohol. Consider a desig- nated driver, taxi or public transit for your trip home. The Exeter Times -Advocate surveyed prominent members in our community asking for their forecast of 2005.Will it be a year of development, change or challenges or will it be a year of cutbacks, hard decisions or hard work? HARVEY RATZ ORGANIZATION: South Huron Council, Ward 1 member. 2005 WILL BE A YEAR OF: Continued growth and challenges as we enter year five of amalgamation. This will be my fifth year on South Huron council. WHY? It will be a challenge for council and staff to keep tax increases to a minimum and yet provide services the residents and ratepayers want. THE COMING YEAR'S CHALLENGES AND HOW TO MEET THEM?: One of the chal- lenges is to reduce pollution in our municipality: divert rain water from the sewer system in the Exeter ward and continue to install new infrastruc- ture at Huron Park to keep stormwater from over- loading the sewer system. We have also applied for 66 per cent funding on the Crediton and Centralia sewer systems. If we are successful, it would get grey water and raw sewage out of drains and water courses in these two areas. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: One of my new year wishes is that some industries in Huron Park will be owners of their land and buildings before Dec. 31, 2005.
