They have increased police presence near schools during school hours and since the first incident was reported, the schools have increased supervision of children. Although no children have been victimized, Halton Police, working with school staff and crossing guards, are committed to identify the man and determine if theres a risk to the com- munity. In light of the recent incidents, police remind parents to be vigilant in supervising their kids and review with younger children street safety precautions.

Do not accept any treats, (such as candies, toys or money) from a stranger for any reason. Always notify your parents where you are and where you are going.

Ridership on ActiVan is double than what was predicted for 2007, prompting the Town to purchase scheduling software costing $12,722. The 2007 plan estimated that 4,000 ActiVan trips would be taken, but as of September, actual trips numbered 5,472 and if current trends continue, an annual ridership of about 8,100 would be reached by the end of the year. This double what was planned and four times as many trips taken in 2006. The two ActiVans are now operating at capacity on most weekdays, and 10-15 refusals per week for bookings are currently being made. A person currently handles the scheduling and dispatching. Software would decrease the amount of time spent developing complex daily schedules, create more efficient utiliza- tion of vans and the drivers, significant reduce the errors inherent in manual scheduling and position the ActiVan service for future growth. A portion of the $12,722 price tag will be paid using the federal gas tax funding. Police seek publics help in locating odd man in SUV Continued from pg. 1 Activan use soars
