Here are some tips and things to think about before getting on that bike and heading out on the road. Each year we have a high incidence of bicycle thefts, most of the stolen bikes were not locked when taken. Also the bicycle owner did not have a serial number, and sometimes did not know the make and model. Take time right now and write down your bicycle's serial number and other identification description make and model! Several bicycles are recovered each year and turned over to Halton Regional Police Serv- ice, they belong to someone but have not been identified. Eventually they will be sold at auction. Remember, bicycle helmets are mandatory for persons up to 18 years of age and further Section 104 (2.2) of the Highway Traffic Act states the parent or guardian of a person under 16 years who permits the child to ride a bicycle without a helmet is subject to a charge under this Bicycles are not allowed on the sidewalk when being ridden, bicycles must be travelling on the right side of the road the same as a motor vehicle, and must stop for stop signs and red lights and are subject to the same fines as the Parents please take the time to talk to your children about safe cycling and if you ride set a good Seren Communit ; oe the Commun " driver ofa motor vehicle. jor 40 Years 67 Mill Street East Acton 853-1160 example. Quarry blasts within the limits By FRANCES NIBLOCK The New Tanner Noise and vibration levels from blasting at Blue Circle's limestone quarry south of Acton are well under provin- cial limits -- some of the strict- est in North America -- but for rural Acton resident Mike Pickett, a blast is like a freight train. "You can hear it rippling across the ground. You can hear it coming before you feel it and you feel just like before a tornado --and a second and- a-half later you hear a pop," Picket said as results from a seven-week blast monitoring, program were released at a meeting last Wednesday at Limehouse Memorial Hall. Four area properties were monitored and results show all of the 22 blasts from last December 7 to January 26 were well under the provin- cial limit for construction blasting for both ground vi- bration and air blast effect. Sixteen blasts were re- corded at a Mary Brooks's Fourth Line property, five reg- istered under the limit at the Pickett ge on Highway 25 sout Acton and none registered on monitors on Kingham Road and 22 Side Road near Town Line. Acton's Steve Grasby blamed quarry blasting for or " structural damage to walls in some Kingham Road townhouses, three kilometres away, but the results rule out the quarry consultants hired by Blue circle report. At the residents' request, Blue Circle and its consultant will look at data from the blast monitoring to see if changing the direction of the rock face ph blasted would have less "We want to minimize the impact of blasting for as many people as possible," said Blue Circle director of operations John Moroz who also offered to resume phoning concerned residents to inform of the blast schedule. "We're going to try and continue to work with the two families involved and we'll try and see what we can do there," Blue Circle lands man- ager Moreen Miller said after the meeting. Fourth Line resident Mary Brooks is convinced the quarry blasting cracked he patio window and walls, bu her biggest concern is a fine dust from the quarry stock: piles and trucks that coat: everything on her property, Miller said dust level: would drop this week becaust a water truck that spray: down the Fourth Line en trance and exit has been re paired.

A Milton citizens' group raised various concerns in- cluding the loss of so many trees during public meetings on the project and the Region has come up with innovative solutions to solve most of those concerns, Lunau says. The project, slated for a fi- nal airing and decision at the Region's Planning and Pub- lic Works committee earlier this week, will see Hutcheons Hill lowered, some retaining wall added in Haltonville to create a village atmosphere. road contours improved and shoulders widened between Sideroads 10 and 15, and stoplights installed at Guelph Line and 15 Sideroad. Citizens were greatly con- cerned with the safety of the road through the area, Lunau says, but the use of retainin; walls, improving sight line and installing stop lights ar all aimed at easing those con cerns. Her hope now is that thi project will be completed it one year rather than brokers into two parts. She feels getting the dis ruption over and done wit! as quickly as possible will bi best both for area resident and for motorists using th Guelph Line. "We (Milton councillors hear the Ministry of Transpor is also looking at some wor! on the intersection at (High way) 401 and Guelph Line thi: year," she says.
