Association pushes helmets TERRACE — A tecent bicycle accident on Kalum Street resulted in a close call for a ten-year-old boy. The boy, who sat on the handlebars while his father rode the bike on the sidewalk, got his feet caught in the spokes, which caused the bike to flip. As a result, the boy sustained ankle and elbow injuries, But he escaped more serious injury because he was wearing a hel- met. Corp. Dave Pollock said the incident highlighted the need for people to wear bike hel- mets. “Tf he wasn’t wearing a hel- met, it could have been much worse,’ he said. The B.C. Head Injury Asso- ciation has kicked off a campaign to encourage people lo wear helmets. The associa- tion plans to distribute an in- formation pamphlet io com- munity centres, bicycle shops, schools and rehab centres dur- ing June. The pamphlet contains some frightening slatistics, “Bach year, 60 children die in Canada’ from bicycle accidents, mostly due to head injuries. 70-80 per cent of bike rider deaths are caused by head injuries, But there’s also some good news - serious head injury can be reduced by as much as 85 per cent by wearing a helmet. In Terrace, every school is assigned an officer from the RCMP detachment, who gives talks on bicycle safety. Bike rodeos aie sometimes held. The rodeos are obstacle courses of sorts where students learn how to ride their bicycles safely and responsibly, are expected to start at $47,000, The officers are to provide bet- ter contacts for smaller news op- erations and for members of the public. = : They'll also help arrange visits and tours by cabinet ministers. “These are posted civil service positions — not OIC appoint- ments,”. said Wilimovsky in referring to Order-in-Council positions that don’t have to go through a regular government hiring procedure. ‘She said the new positions ‘aren’ viewed as duplicating ex- ~~ ae fa Baby’ 's Name: ~ ~ Tames “Blake” Stewart Date & Time of Birth: RUNDLES ~ of JOY Baby's Namet Ashley Nicole Pimloit Date & Time of Birth: June 1/93 at 12:07 p.m. Weight: 7 lbs7 oz Sex: Female Parents: Josie Jennis & Chris NOTICE All playing fields in playing fields in the Terrace and Thornhill area schools will be fertilized monthly.
