Fines double for passing a sehool bus as students go back to sehool The start of September marks a return to school and a reminder to motorists to be careful as students and school buses are back on the road. Effective September 1, 1997, the fines for motorists who pass a stopped school bus will double. These increases were part of legisiation intro- duced in Transportation Minister AI Palladini's tough road safety package earlier this summer. "Passing a stopped school bus is one of the most serious offences under the Highway Traffic Act," says Palladini. "We won't tolerate motorists who put our children's safety at risk." The current fines for pass- ing a school bus with its overhead red lights flashing and stop arm out are already among the highest under the Highway Traffic Act. For a first offense the fines have doubled to $400 - $2,00. For repeat offenders, the fines have doubled to $1,000 - $4,000. In addition, a con-, victed driver gets six demerit points' and on a second offense can.be imprisonied for up to six months. "We're very sàupportive of this action, which we hope wilI make the public more, aware of the severity of, breakîng the law, says Richard Donaldson, execu- tive director, Ontario School Bus Association. The Highway Traffic Act was also amended to- require that school buses stop at al railway crossings, regardless of whether the crossing is protected by gates or railway signal lights. Transport Canada reports that children riding in a school bus are I 6-times safer than those riding in any other vehicle. Despite this safety record, last year more than 700 drivers were convicted of failing to stop for a school bus. 'School buses are one of the'safest methods of travel and w'e want to deep it that way," says Palladini. "As students, teachers and parents prepare for a new school year -- Iet's keep our children safe. Motorists should take extra care around sehool zones and residential areas." The Ministries of educa- tion and Training and Transportation are also work- ing together to develop a school bus safety resource guide which will be available to community groups, school boards, school bus operators and police.

(905) 983-5721 Yorvuth Music Supported in Clarington There is an old saying which states that "youth will try on many faces until it finds one of its own." Parents who have teenagers xiii know exactly what this saying means, as they watch their kids evolve through a variety of looks, styles and attitudes. This type of metamorphismn prevails in the Clarington youth music scene. There are just. as many musical styles as there are -igh schools. The one thing that does vary how- ever, is the message in the music. Unlike the youth music of the 70's which told of good- times, freedom, highways and heavens, the youth music of the 90's is about personal and family concerns, unemploy- ment, spiritual quests and alienation.- Why? imes have changeç, plain and simple. What has not changed is the nature of music as a vehiùcle to express oneseif and communicate wth one's peers. While youth music will neyer be heard on AM radio, it can be heard live thanks to the efforts as a vehicle to express oneseif and commu- nicate wlth one's peers. While youth music xiii neyer be heard on AM radio, it can be heard live thanks to the efforts of a number of Clarington music supporter. On Friday, September 5 is the SUNSET I3ASH.
