Halton Regional Police introduced new security mea- sures at the busy Milton courthouse on Monday of this week limiting public ac- cess to one entrance where they will be required to walk through a magnetometer and be searched. Halton Police are respon- sible for the security of five courthouses in Halton deal- ing in criminal, civil and provincial matters. On July 4, the Criminal Assignment court from Burlington was moved to Milton which substantially increased the number of people attending Milton court which houses both Ontario Court of Justice as well as Superior Court of Justice matters. All persons charged with a criminal offence in Halton must attend the Milton court- house for their first court appearance. The Milton facil- ity also houses courts dealing with family law, criminal trials, Superior court matters and Criminal jury trials as well as daily bail hearings. Located in the building as well is the land registry office and civil and other family law services. The new centralized public access entrance will be staffed by three police officers who will monitor the magnetom- eter and be responsible for searching all who enter the building. Metal detecting wands will also be used. Police want the public to be aware that the new measures may delay entry into the courthouse. Purses, knap- sacks and other bags will be searched and prohibited ar- ticles seized and not returned. Illegal items include weapons of any kind, illegal drugs, pocket knives and other items deemed dangerous. Staggered court times will assist in maintaining a steady flow of traffic, police say, but the public needs to be aware of their court time to ensure they have adequate time to be processed through the door. Whats more relaxing on a hot summer day than boating on a cool, calm lake, the soft breeze in your face and the warm mist hitting your arms. It is the perfect setting to reach for an ice-cold beer...or is it? Many people think it is okay to drink alcohol while operating a boat or water- craft, but its not. Drinking and boating is just as illegal as drinking and driving a motor vehicle, Wellington OPP affirm. Sixteen people have died as a result of a marine vessel mishaps and 63.6% of these incidents are alcohol related. Bill 209, Highway Traffic Amendment Act (Drinking and Boating Offences), 2006 is now law in Ontario and was enacted on June 22 of this year. This legislation allows police to suspend the drivers licence of anyone operating a boat while impaired. Under the new law, the same penal- ties imposed for drinking and driving automobiles, snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles now apply to boat operators. That means drivers with a blood alcohol level of 0.05 to 0.08 will have their motor-ve- hicle licence suspended on the spot for 12 hours. If the level is above 0.08, licences are automatically suspended for 90 days. Upon conviction for impaired driving (blood alcohol above 0.08), a one-year drivers licence suspension is imposed. There is another change: Marine police will now be able to render Breathalyzer tests and issue on-the-spot licence suspen- sions to anyone with readings of .05 and above. Conviction of an alcohol-related driving offence can also result in sky- high insurance premiums, the OPP notes. By following these tips, boaters will be safer on the water: * Boat sober and always wear a life jacket * Make sure your boat is equipped with all required safety gear * Never allow a person under the influence of alcohol to operate your boat. You are responsible for the safety of your passengers and crew * If you plan to take friends water-skiing, serve them alcohol only after the activ- ity is finished and you are back on shore * Make non-alcoholic drinks and food available Remember: Water on the Water Beer on the Pier. Court house gets tight security Acton Minor Ball Acton Teen gets invite to prestigious sports camp OPP cautions boaters Water on the water beer on the pier CHILDRENS CHARITY: Tom Chudleigh, left, represent- ing Sleeping Children Around the World, accepts a $1,200 cheque from Damon Crumplen, representing the children of Knox Presbyterian Church and the Kim Petty Memorial Fund. The money will be enough to make up 40 bed kits for Sleeping Children to distribute on their next overseas mission. George Henderson photo
