WtlI'BY FRLE PRESS, WijDNESDAY, J ULY 10, 1985, PAGE 33 Council will be asked t approve second ice pad. 1 The operations com- mittee will recommend that council proceed with the Iroquois Park expansion as a resuit of the committee meeting iast Tuesday evening. In a report to the committee Wayne DeVeau, parka and recreation director, recommended that council aut.horize staff to proceed with the preparation of the final design and enter into a professionai services agreement with Totten, Sima, Hubicki and Associatea. Foiiowing a public meeting with the parka and recreation depar- tment and the Town's architecturai staff in June the inclusion of the following facilities are being recommended: an acidîtional ice surface; a muiti-purpose roomn; a martial arts room; a fitness area; a public viewing area and lounge; four squash courts; extension to pool including new spectator area and two meeting roomns; sound room and first aid room for new ice surface-, improved staf f room; eIevaýor for handicapped; new con- cession booth; and im- provements to the pool including sauna, recir- culating pipes and wall structure. once the final design By Const. PETER BRAMMA Community Services Bureau Durham Regional Police Force The use of seat beits in ail motor vehicles equip- ped with them is iaw in Ontario. Drivers and passengers who do not "buckie-up" face a fine of Up to $200. It is the responsibiiity of the driver to make sure ail seat beits are in good working order and that ail passengers under sixteen years of age are buckied Up, or in appropriate chiid or infant restraints. Studies have shown that seat beits reduce the risk of injury or death in automobile accidents by more than haif. Severe injury or death often resuit when you are thrown out of the car. 1 remember ln- vestigating a fatal accident several years ago where the driver was thrown out of the vehicle when it roiled over. The inside of the vehicle was intact and he wouid ikely not have been injured if he had been wearing the seat beit. As it was, when he was thrown from the vehicle he broke his neck upon im- pact with the ground, and died instantly. If you stay inside the vehicie, you have a much better chance of surviving. Seat beits are the best single method for keeping you in the car. The other major source of injury in accidents is your head and body striking the cars interior. When your car hits a soiid object at say 50 km/h, the solid object stops the car. But you continue travelling at 50 km/h until something soiid stops you. It could be a steering wheel, windshîeid, or dashboard. This "human collision" often resuits in serious injury. Seat beits, especialiy shouider beits, reduce the im- pact or prevent it altogether. An arguement put forward by many people who do not wear seat beits is they don't want to be trapped in the car. But the tacts are that tire or submersion in water are rare in accidenta. Seat beits keep you conscious and uninjured, enabling you to get f ree of the car. Seat beits can also prevent serious collisions by keeping the driver behind the wheel and in control of the car. Unbelted occupants can also seriously injure feilow passengers by striking or crushing them againat the car in a collision - especiaily small children. How about children and the seat beit laws? The child restraint law pertains to three weight categories. These are: INFANTS fromn birth weight to 9 kg. (20 ibs.> must travel rear-facing in a child restraint seat (approved type). TODDLERS 9-18 kg. (20-40 Ibs.) must travel in a child restraint seat (approved type-usualiy forward facing) except when travelling in a vehicle other than his or her parents or legal guardian, then a lap beit can be used. PRE-SCHOOLEItS 18-23 kg. (40-50 lbs.) have outgrown the safety seat and must use the lap beit portion of the seat beit assembly, worn securely, f it- ted low on the hips. When chiidren reach 23 kg. they use the full seat beit assembiy as provided in the seating position occupied. Remember too that the back seat is always the safest place for the child to travel, away from the hazards of the windshield, dashboard and steering wheel. It la not safe for a child to travel in the cargo area of a stationwagon or van, or someone's lap. The H-ighway Traffic Act places responsibility for "buckling up" ail passengers from birth to 16 years of age on the driver of the motor vehicle. Show you care about their safety by making sure they use their seat boits. And get in a good habit yourself and wear vour seat boit - what's holding you back" Typ e wri ter RENTALSI also SALES & SERVICE -M.. 1 i 1 6 Litre Ovrhead Cam Engine witlr Vscous Coolinig Fan 2, Mchrelin Steel belted, Al seasen Radial Tires (încluding spare) 3.
