Don t we thieves a tea w en you re 0 Halton Reigonal Police are offer- ing several tips to homeowners wor- ried about their houses while they’re away on vacation. The best deterrent to thieves, they say, is to make the house look lived in. Giving the itinerary for your trip and emergency numbers to a trusted neighbor, along with a key and instructions for the alarm, is a good idea they say. Other tips include: - Have a neighbor cut the grass, pick up your mail, newspapers, and flyers. Have some trash and the recycle bin left out on garbage day and leave a car parked in the drive- way. - Have some interior lights on a timer so that they go on at appropri- ate times. It is equally important to have the lights turn off. A light burning all night can be a sign to thieves that no one is home. - Exterior lights around doors and porches should be connected to motion detectors, not left on all night. When activated, they can startle or frighten off a potential burglar. A light turning on when it is normally off is more likely to attract the attention of the neigh- bors. - Put valuable items like jewelry or coin collections in a safety deposit box. You may think your valuables are safely hidden in your home, but don’t bet on it.

"Ilre program is supported by the Children’s and Youth Foundation of Halton, but our costs have risen considerably this year,” says CAS supervisor Lou Morris. “We really hope the community will be able to help out” Without this camp, these children would other- wise have little opportunity to enjoy the kind of summer fun most children take for granted. Without donations from the community, the program will not be able to continue. J’snzsrcu LYCRA SPANDEx‘ rm?
