GEORGETOWN Fall seat belt campaign Mandatory seatbelt use marks 30th anniversary This year marks the 30-year anniversary of mandatory seat belt use in Ontario, the first province in Canada to pass a seat belt law. The annual OPP seatbelt campaign runs from Saturday, September 23 through to Sunday October 8. Focus of this years campaign is the 30- year anniversary and proper restraint of all vehicle occupants, highlighting both rear and passenger seat occupants in addition to the driver. It will include a provincial seat belt count run by volunteers at count locations and a card campaign aimed at increasing public awareness of all occupant restraint safety. The campaign will also continue to sup- port child passenger safety, by highlighting the proper use of child restraints. Traffic crashes remain a leading cause of death in Ontario. It is estimated they exact a social cost of $9 billion every year. Using seat belts is the single most effec- tive way to reduce vehicle related injuries and fatalities. To understand the value of seat belt use, its important to understand the dynamics of a crash. Every crash is actu- ally comprised of three collisions. The first is known as the cars collision, which causes the car to buckle and bend as it hits something and comes to an abrupt stop. The second, the human collision, occurs as the cars occupants hit some part of the vehicle. At the moment of impact, unbelted occupants are still travelling at the vehicles original speed. Just after the vehicle comes to a stop, unbelted occupants will slam into some part of the vehicles interior. Another form of human collision is the person-to-person impact. Many serious injuries are caused by unbelted occupants colliding with each other. Unbelted rear-seat passengers become high-speed projectiles striking people in the front seat. Even after the occupants body comes to a complete stop the internal organs are still moving forward and these organs hit other organs or the skeletal system. This internal third collision often causes serious or fatal injuries. During a crash, properly fastened seat belts distribute the forces of rapid decelera- tion over larger and stronger parts of the persons body, such as the chest, hips and shoulders. The safety belt stretches slightly to slow your body down and to increase its stopping distance. The difference between the belted per- sons stopping distance and the unbelted persons stopping distance is significant. Its often the difference between life and death. When occupying a seating position for which a seat belt is provided, all motor vehicle occupants are required to use the complete seat belt assembly, properly adjusted and securely fastened. Toddlers are required by law to be properly se- cured in appropriate child car seats when travelling in their parent or guardians vehicle. When a child outgrows car seats the law requires the use of a booster seat. Police arrest man, 66, for robbing Campbellville bank Halton Regional Police have arrested and charged a 66-year-old man with robbing the Bank of Nova Scotia in Campbellville during the afternoon of Monday, September 25. No weapon was seen when the man demanded money; he fled with an undisclosed amount of cash including bait money. Uniformed police of- ficers located the suspect in a vehicle at Sixth Line Nassagaweya near 20 Side Road. After effecting a traf- fic stop officers arrested the male and recovered all of the stolen cash. Further investigation has led to additional charges relating to two similar rob- beries at the same bank branch in August of 2003 and November 2005. Douglas Franklin Ber- thal, 66, of Crystal Beach, Ontario was held for a bail hearing in Milton Pro- vincial Court on Tuesday. Berthal is charged with a number of offences includ- ing two counts of robbery, one count of robbery with a firearm, three counts of disguise with intent, one count of theft over $5,000, one count of Possession of Stolen Property over $5,000 and two counts of possession under $5,000.
