Especially during the winter months when road and weather conditions can be extreme. We recognize it can be a stressful time for driv- ers and their passengers. If you become involved in a motor vehicle colli- sion, please remember the following guidelines: If no one is injured, the damage is minor and there is no damage to highway property, safely remove the vehicles from the roadway. This can prevent further collisions and it allows other motorists to be on their way. If the total damage to all vehicles is less than $1000, no one is injured and there is no damage to highway property, then the accident is con- sidered non-reportable. The police do not have to be notified. You should exchange drivers names, addresses and drivers license numbers. Also exchange the name address and license plate numbers of the vehicle owners. Lastly, exchange insurance company and policy information. If anyone is hurt (even a minor injury), total dam- age is over $1,000 or there is damage to highway property (signs, guardrails etc.), then the acci- dent must be reported to the police. If at the accident scene you are concerned for your safety or frightened of the other driver (road rage) drive directly to the nearest police station or immediately dial 911. If you suspect the other driver is impaired or you witness an accident and you suspect one of the drivers may be impaired, call the police right away. Try to stay on the line and provide infor- mation to assist the police. If you are unsure or in doubt, call the police and report the incident. Guelph/Eramosa council- lors have agreed to spend $1,000 to buy an advertise- ment in a new tourism brochure to be distributed around southern Ontario. The publication is a joint venture between Guelph Visitor and Convention Serv- ices and the Centre Wellington Chamber of Commerce. Chamber representative Deb Dalziel told council the Guelph Wellington Visitor Guide would present infor- mation from various Wellington municipalities to entice visitors to visit local at- tractions while they are in the area. In addition to information about restaurants and geo- graphic features, the booklet will list various events in the area, such at the Rockwood Parade of Lights and the Eden Mills Writers Festival, which might interest visitors. Dalziel told council the brochure impacts beyond tourists. Recent newcomers to Fergus, for instance, have told her they first came to the town several years ago for the Scottish Festival. They liked the community and after vis- iting it several times through the years, decided to move there from British Columbia. Council also learned that their participation in the guide will ensure free listing in the guides events sections forvarious area events Mayor Dave Adsett said an ad in the guide should be a worthwhile investment for area taxpayers. A 51-year-old Acton man has been charged with driv- ing with more than 80mgs as the result of a RIDE check by Wellington OPP in Rock- wood on Sunday, December 29 at 10:10pm. The man was driving a 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser on Main St. S. in Rockwood when police discovered he had been drinking and admin- istered a roadside screening device test which he failed. Hes to appear in Guelph Court on February 7 to an- swer to the charge. By Warren Edwards Acton Tanners Peewee A team served notice to both their OMHA and Tri-County rivals that they have over- come their early season difficulties and will be a force to be reckoned with in the playoffs. Playing five games in six days between December 18 and 23, the Tanners went 3- 1-1 including last Monday nights 7-2 pasting of Erin- Hillsburgh. The victory over Erin- Hillsburgh avenged two earlier losses this season to their local rivals. Similar to the two previousmeetings, Erin-Hillsburgh struck in the first minute of the contest. However, two straight goals by Actons leading sniper, Zack Woolford, who scored 10 goals over the 5-game stretch, gave the Tanners a 2- 1 lead at the end of the first frame. Erin-Hillsburgh tied the game on a power play early in the second, but the Tanners again responded with two more goals in the middle frame, including a short-handed goal by Bradley Kri called up from the Atom As for the contest. Tyler McNiven, battling through illness, scored the other goal before having to leave the game. Kri added two more goals in the third to complete the hat trick before Scott Hofland, another call-up for the contest, finished off the night by burying a Brandon McCarthy rebound. Despite the strong offen- sive showing and the brilliance of the likes of Woolford and Kri, this was a victory which owed much to the play of the Tanners de- fence of Stephen Bennett, Colton Burgan, Taylor McNabb, Matt Bently and Tyler Heming who were stel- lar in front of winning goaltender Joss Warren keep- ing the much bigger Erin-Hillsburgh forwards at bay most of the night. Nip Guelph 4-3 The Sunday before, the Tanners beat Guelph 4-3 in a chippy contest which fea- tured 18 penalties, three sending offs and the dis- missal of the Guelph coach midway through the third period. Strong specialty team play by the Tanners, out- standing defensive play, particularly by McNabb and Burgan, a two-goal perform- ance by Riley McGilloway, great two-way play by Jessy Kuenzig and Nik Aitken and sparkling goaltending by Dirk Vansoelen, who picked up the win in goal, provided the margin of victory in a game where the visitors out- shot the home-side. Single goals by Kri and standout call-up Brandon McCarthy finished out the Tanners scor- ing. One night earlier, the Tan- ners played host to Dundas and handed the visitors and 8-4 drubbing. The evening belonged to Woolford, Ac- tons man of the match who Peewees win three games after shaky season start continued on page 12 Acton man charged in RIDE Approve $1,000 for tourism DEADLINE IS MONDAY AT 12 NOON scored five goals including what proved to be the game winner early in the second period.
