Approved Fire Ladders * Smoke Detectors By Kelly Lown Port Perry Star Get Out, Stay Out is the theme of Fire Prevention Week i year, which runs October 3- To promote fire safety in the community the Scugog Town- ship Fire Department will be holding an open house at both of its stations this Saturday (Oct. 9). Residents are urged to take a tour of the station and see the equipment as well as meeting some of the firemen serving the area. The response time for a victim getting out of a fire safely is be- ing stressed during Fire Pre- vention Week (October 3-9). All families are urged to fol- low simple rules to make sure everyone gets out safe. If you're in a building that catches on fire, get out and stay out. Itis your fire safe response. -When was the last time your family practised your home fire escape plan? Be sure everyone in your family knows what to do if there's a fire. -Fire drills are not just for school kids. If your employer doesn't carry out regular fire drills, you're in danger. Know what you should do if there's a fire in your building now, before afire. "This is Natonal Fire Preven- tion Week, a good time to test your smoke detectors to be sure they are working. If they aren't replace the batteries with new ones and keep your family pro- tected. Fire Prevention Week's pur- pose is to draw attention to the need for fire safety and fire awareness in Canada. Canada has one of the worst records for fire losses and fire-related fatal- ities in the industrialized world. Losses due to fire topped $13 million in 1992 in Toronto alone. However, that figure Sharp Acres has champion Holstein cow Gord Sharp, of Sharp Acres Holsteins, Blackstock, exhibit- ed the Grand Champion Cow at the recently held Durham County Holstein Show.

The Township of Scugog Fire Department responded to 264 emergency calls in 1992 (180 by the Port Perry Station and 74 by the Caesarea Station.) Of'these calls 111 were calls of reported fire, (42 per cent) with the remainder being for acci- dents, medical calls, rescues, power lines and chemical spills etc. In the first six months of 1993 the department has responded to 140 calls, with 49 per cent (68 calls) being for fires. To protect your family be sure you can answer the following three questions, supplied by the National Fire Protection Associ- ation. How much time do you have to get out of a fire?

What can Karate do for you? us A\. Today we are exposed to aggression in most areas of our lives. Some aggression isof amore passive nature such as competitiveness while The Martial Arts have been portrayed as violent aggression by the movie media. Although the history and early development centered on life and death struggles, It is far from this focus today. Most Martial Arts have developed a means to play, using some techniques considered least dangerous resulting in Sport Karate or Sport Judo. These approaches encourages aggression under | believe Karate or any Martial Art must centre on strengthening of character in a positive passive manner. Offering the tools one needs to be successful and live a better quality life is unique to this ast. if taught correctly karate provides a vehicle to encourage respect for the elderly, for parents, and for those in authority, resulting in a higher level of self-respect. Discipline Is emphasized. Not only are we reminded that rules are necessary for all to live harmoniously but Karate reinforces with consequences if one chooses not to follow such rules or encourages when positive decisions are Discipline is much more than rules and consequences, it is learning to control oneself even when temptation is to walk down a path one knows they should not. Such training starts with being aware of simple bad habits and your emotion to be more at rest thereby lowering one's stress or aggression levels is another approach. If we could excel in this area we would not need to spend so much time and money on problems. Growing in self confidence and self esteem affords our students the strength to say "no" to peer pressure when drugs are offered and the strength Academic improvement is a by product of learning to concentrate which is a must in the dojo (studio) environment. : Learning to set goals and achieve with reward is encouraged for all Wa teach that a student must honour their word, helping others, achieve goals, say "no" to drugs, respect others and to use Karate to aid their fellow To strike out against another in defense is a last resort whe all other options have been tried. Karate must be used as a defensive art, never Learning to understand oneself and developing a compassionate relationship with all life is the goal. This requires truly within. Perhaps this is why there are so few belts. n Week cape from a fire. If you are ever in a fire, don't spend time get- ting dressed or trying to gather valuables. Just get out and stay out, then call the fire depart- ment from a neighbor's phone. If you have a fire tonight will you get out safel You'll have a better chance of getting out safely if you've planned ahead. Develop a fire escape plan and practise it with the whole family. Everyone should know two ways out of each room and know where to meet outside. Make sure every- one understands that getting out is the first priority. And, re- member, once you're outside, stay out. sidents can drop by the Port Perry Station, on Crandell Street, or the Caesarea Station on Highway 67 in Caesarea be- tween 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sat- urday.
