OPP Snowmobile Patrol Have Been Hitting the Trail to Help Keep Riders Safe

0

(MIDLAND,ON) – Riders on the local Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) trails over the last week have felt the presence of the OPP Snowmobile patrol made up of members of the Southern Georgian Bay OPP detachment..

Officers on sleds logged over 70 hours of patrol checking over 400 snowmobilers for equipment, required licences, registration and trail passes where applicable. Officers also conducted eight separate reduce impaired driving everywhere (R.I.D.E.) programs checking snowmobilers for signs of impairment in an effort to maintain trail safety.

With rider education and balance of enforcement in mind, officers dealt with issues found on the trails as follows.

  • 32 riders were warned with a variety of Motorized Snow Vehicle Act (MSVA) offences which were predominantly failing to have a valid ownership permit on their snowmobile.
  • One rider charged with speeding, five riders charged with riding without a trail pass, two riders charged for not having a valid machine registration permit.

Unfortunately, officers have been tasked along with area Fire and Paramedic Services to attend three snowmobile crashes, all of which resulted in injuries ranging from a ride with paramedics to the hospital for treatment of a broken bone to a flight to a Toronto trauma hospital for treatment serious injuries. Because of these crashes and similar incidents that may follow this weekend, we state the following.

Snowmobiling is a wonderful sport for most family members to enjoy the great outdoors, but sadly we have to attend incidents involving snowmobiles being operated by persons who are suspected of being impaired, or operating carelessly and are tasked with an investigation that will have long lasting effects on all involved, victims and emergency services personnel.

  • Ride in control and to the trail conditions
  • Obey the posted speed limit.
  • Never, ever drive impaired
  • No Ice is Safe Ice

Snowmobilers planning to head out on the OFSC trail system this weekend would be well advised to check on the following website link to ensure the trail is open for use – Snowmobiling Ontario

It also goes without saying that it is still early in the cold weather winter season for local ice conditions to be up to expectations for ice surface travel by foot or by machine. Always remember that, “No Ice Is Safe Ice” and to check the ice surface or inquire with local residents, ice hut operators, weather stations or any other reliable source before heading out and possibly going through into the frigid waters below. Ultimately, you may be risking your life, the lives of others possibly with you and that of emergency service responders tasked to rescue you, or worse to locate and remove you from the lake.

All drivers /riders/operators should be aware that the O.P.P. R.I.D.E. program checks are conducted 24/7 all year long. The OPP remains committed to taking alcohol/drug-impaired drivers off our roads & trails through enforcement and public education so riders can expect to see OPP officers on the trail system during day time & night time hours. Also, it can be expected that uniform road patrol officers will be conducting Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (R.I.D.E.) programs at trail heads. The Detachment also works with area safety partners such as MADD CanadaArrive AliveThe North Simcoe Safe and Sober Awareness Committee and area snowmobile clubs, Georgian Bay Snow Riders (GBSR) and the Baxter Snow Riders (BSR) and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC).

The sport of snowmobiling has many associated inherent risks, dangers and hazards caused by the changing terrain & environment, your machine, and others on their machines to name a few. To help reduce these risks, riders are reminded to always check the Interactive Trail Guide before heading on the trails and wear all of the required safety equipment including floater suits if travelling on frozen water surfaces. It is highly recommended to have a fully charged cell phone with you, let a family member know where your heading to and a return time, load a location app on your cell phone such as What3Words and/or the Interactive Trail Guide and remember that “No Ice Is Safe Ice” . Self rescue maybe your only way out for reasons depicted in the following link – https://twitter.com/OPP_News/status/1342817627077488641

OPP CHARGE WEST PARRY SOUND RESIDENT IN AN ONLINE CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION INVESTIGATION

0

(Parry Sound, ON) – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Child Sexual Exploitation Unit (CSEU) with the assistance of West Parry Sound OPP detachment members and OPP Digital Forensics Unit have arrested and charged a West Parry Sound, ON resident following a child sexual exploitation investigation. A search warrant was executed at the accused residence and several electronic devices were seized.

As a result of an online child exploitation investigation, Jared Benson, 24 years of age, was arrested and charged with the following Criminal Code offences:

  • Possession of child pornography contrary to section 163.1(4) of the Criminal Code – Two Counts;
  • Make available child pornography contrary to section 163.1(3) of the Criminal Code.

The accused was held for a bail hearing and is scheduled to appear on 16 January 2025 at the Ontario Court of Justice in West Parry Sound, ON.

Children are our most valuable and precious members of society. Many victims of child sexual abuse are so young that they cannot tell their story. Every time an image or video depicting that abuse is shared, that child is re-victimized.

 The OPP will continue to aggressively identify and pursue individuals who use technology to exploit children. Parents are reminded to take a proactive approach to help protect their children from online sexual exploitation by speaking with their children regarding Internet safety. Parents can find resources to assist them at cybertip.ca or protectchildren.ca.

 If you have information regarding internet child exploitation and wish to provide information anonymously you can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or ontariocrimestoppers.ca. Reporting information may also be made on the internet through cybertip.ca.

KITCH DEVILLE JR. shares “Pickleballs Next Big Serve: Air Bender vs Big Papa Jimmy”

Quang Duong and James Ignatowich, without a doubt, have the fastest serves in pickleball.

If you want insane power on your serve, you have to understand 4 key concepts that each of them follow.

What’s most interesting is that though their service motions look vastly different, they have key similarities that lead to their serves creating BIG POWER.

In this video I will share the technique behind each of their serves that helps them get insane amounts of power, and I will also share with you 3 specific drills that you can do to increase your serve power.

Nothing has increased the power of my serve more than drilling. That said, if I were to drill but not have the correct technique, it would be for nothing. Learning how to hit a serve hard in pickleball and get it to go faster comes down to both technique and repetitions. What would you pin as the most important aspect of a pickleball serve in order to get it to travel faster?

1. Your take back

2. Your weight transfer

3. Your follow through

What you will come to find out in this video is that weight transfer is the single most important aspect of a pickleball serve when it comes to generating insane power. Moving your momentum from your back foot to your front foot and then landing in the court is a major aspect of creating insane power on your serve. That said, there are other key elements including lag, shoulder replacing, and coil that can lead to giving you a faster serve in pickleball.

Enjoy the video 🙂 How to have a faster serve in pickleball. Increase swing speed in pickleball. Serve with power in pickleball. How to serve with power. Increase speed on serve. How to serve fast.
