Home My WebLink AboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1987-05-06, Page 11Many charges laid in area during March and April SPECIAL A Kincardine Township man has been charged with breaking into a residence on March 24. The residence was located in Kincardine Township. In another break and enter investiga- tion, a Crediton area man has been charg- ed with three counts of break and enter. Three Kinloss Township residences were broken into and a quantity of property was stolen. A Tiverton area man was charged with mischief resulting from an incident in which he drove his vehicle onto a residen- tial lawn causing extensive damage to the lawn. As a result of a Toronto man reporting his car stolen when in fact it had not been stolen, a charge of public mischief has been laid. A Brantford area man who struck a farm tractor and left the scene has been charged with dangerous driving and fail- ing to remain at the scene of an accident. The accident resulted in about $1,000 in damages. A Wingham area man has been charged with Careless Use of a Firearm. The man, upset about being refused entry to a party, returned a short time later with a shotgun and discharged five shots into the air. The Kincardine OPP also charged three persons with impaired driving and issued seven 12 -hour suspensions during this period. Motor Vehicle Accidents During this period, the Kincardine OPP investigated 24 accidents which resulted in about $63,000.00 in damages and eight per- sons being injured, one fatally. Bicycle Safety In March, the Kincardine OPP in- vestigated a motor vehicle/bicycle acci- dent in which a Lucknow girl was fatally injured. The investigation revealed the girl was riding her bicycle at night on Highway 86 without proper lighting and the driver of the car failed to see her on the highway. Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications statistics for 1984 revealed 50 persons were killed and 4,262 were injured as a result of bicycles being hit by vehicles. If a bicycle is used after dark or when lighting is poor, the bicycle must have the following: 1) a white or amber light on the front, 2) a red reflector or light on the rear, 3) red reflective material at least 25 cen- timetres long and 25 millimetres wide on the rear. and 4) white reflective material at least 25 centimetres long and 25 millimetres wide on the front fork. To avoid possible prosecution under the Highway Act and particularly to avoid needless injury, we strongly encourage all bicyclists to ensure their bicyles are pro- perly equipped. Operation Provident Operation Provident is a program for all commercial and farm businesses which in- volves marking of property with a par- ticular Operation Provident number. If the property is lost or stolen and recovered, the number informs the police who owns the property. If any business is interested in the pro- gram, contact the office and we will supply the equipment to mark the property and issue a registered number. It has come to our attention some contu- sion exists regarding the laws about stopp- ing for school buses. Section 151(5) of the Highway Traffic Act States: "Every driver of a motor vehicle when on a highway that meets a stopped school bus that has its red signal lights flashing, shall stop before reaching the bus and shall not proceed until the school bus moves or the signal lights have stopped flashing." Section 151(6) adds the vehicle must stop at least 20 metres from the bus. Therefore, the bus must be completely stopped and the red lights flashing before an ap- proaching vehicle is required to stop by law. It is only wise and prudent for a vehi- cle approaching a school bus with red flashing lights to stop, even though such bus may still be moving. Remember where you see a school bus you, will also generally find children and some children do unpredictable things. Whether you are right or wrong according to the letter of the law, the safety of those children should be foremost in your mind. Marine Safety With the second annual, "Fish Kincar- dine" derby rapidly approaching, we wish to remind fishermen of just how unforgiv- ing Lake Huron can be. When poorly equip- ped, inexperienced, careless, impaired 'or just plain foolhardy boaters venture out on the Lake, they are risking not only their own lives but also those of searchers and would be rescuers. Check your equipment including life preservers, if they are torn, oil soaked or you have the slightest doubt as to their serviceability, invest in your life, buy new ones and use them. If you have any questions regarding equipment requirements for your boat, contact our office. ' The last thing to do before leaving the harbour is to check your own mental at- titude, take along a great deal of common sense and courtesy, leave the booze at home and have a. safe fishing trip. We have recently been informed that there will be a 22 -foot launch stationed per- manently at the Kincardine Detachment. This is certainly welcome news and hopefully it will arrive before May 15. Our launch will be scheduled to patrol the Lake Huron shoreline not only during fishing de'i'`bys but during the entire summer. It will be equipped with an A.L.E.T. (Alcohol Level Evaluation Tester) which will be us- ----ed..whenever the launch is on patrol in an effort to reduce impaired boaters. We have five fully trained marine operators stationed at the Detachment currently and a sixth member will be at- tending a marine course „in May at Gravenhurst. Boaters are warned that equipment deficiencies, overloading of crafts, careless operation or impaired operation will not be tolerated, not in an ef- fort to spoil your fun, but intended to keep you safe. New Member Dan Reive, age 22, of Belleville, Ontario is the latest addition to the Kincardine Detachment staff. Dan is a graduate of the Law and Security Course, Loyalist College and the Orientation Course at the OPP Academy, Brampton. He is single, enjoys hockey, track and field and is a bass guitarist. We all wish him the best of luck in his chosen profession. The origins of Mother's Day • from page 4 and never returned. Memoralizing mother became her life and in December, 1912, she incorporated herself as the Mother's Day Interna- tional Association. – Politicians were willing to take a firm position in favor of motherhood and on may 10, 1913, the House unanimously passed a resolution to make the obser- vance of Mother's Day official. The President and all other officials of the Federal Government were required to wear a white carnation (Anna's mother's favorite flower) on the second Sunday in May in observance of Mother's Day. And it wasn't long after that Canadians joined in the spirit of this special day. – Anna hoped this declaration would in- spire gestures of love and affection: a card or letter to mother, a carnation in the lapel – momentos that enable "rich and poor alike to keep the day dedicated to the being whose name is first lisped by a little child and the last whispered by a dying soldier, `Mother'." Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in the Lucknow area. You make our day - every day ! !
