THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1998 THE NEW TANNER li Seat belt safety Inspired by Constable Riddle's Seat Belt Convincer on display at the Leathertown Festival, we have come up with a few items that we have seen that increase the risk of injury by improperly using the seat belt. * Some people use clothespins or other devices to take the tension off the shoulderbelt. This allows it to be looser across the chest. It is possible for excessive body movement in a crash and possibly getting too close to the air bag. + Placing the shoulder belt behind a child because it sits too high on them is a mistake. Using a booster seat solves this and allows the child a better view out the window. » Infant seat tether anchors should be installed in manufacturer designated points. Check your owner's manual or dealer for designated locations. Using a spot which seems convenient may not be a structurally sound spot. » Using strong cleaning chemicals may weaken the seat belt webbing. Use only mild soap and water when cleaning seat belts. Recently, Tech Talk received a question regarding carbon build up. Unfortunately the person with the question did not leave a return phone number. To answer this question properly we need further information. If this was your question, please leave a telephone number where you can be reached at The New Tanner office, 853-0051.

Experience life in a longhouse, and even try your hand at some of the activi- ties of daily life, like grind- ing corn and playing native games! There is so much to see here that you may want to bring a picnic lunch and stay all day! There are plenty of picnic tables shaded be- neath trees. The trail is a boardwalk (making it a very easy walk) with information stops and lookouts here and there. You will be sure to enjoy the se- rene, peaceful atmosphere both at the lake and in the village. Discover how to learn about the past by visit- ing the archaeology exhibit and trying out some of the sifters outside! There are various videos that can be viewed throughout the day, and if you can spare the time, have a seat and watch them! The interpretive building contains native arts and crafts, souvenirs, and still more things to learn! Crawford Lake is an interest- ing, educational and exciting day for all ages.

Tap water in south Halton has bad taste Oakville and Burlington residents noticing a musty, earthy taste or odour in their tap water have been advised by Halton Region it is caused by seasonal lake water changes. The changes in- volve higher water tempera- tures in Lake Ontario and extremely low levels of com- pounds produced by naturally occurring algae. In the past episodes of taste and odour changes have gone away within days but the Region says it is difficult to predict when conditions will return to normal because lake temperatures are higher than normal this summer. Chairman Joyce Savoline has assured residents the water is safe to drink and is being monitored continually. . a iE oy) On Tuesday & Wednesday come and enjoy Lunch & Dinner for '2 Price.
