OPP warn drivers to be good or get busted Every holiday weekend this past summer, the Ontario Provincial Police has delivered important safety messages about everything from child car seats to safe boating, in an effort to gear Ontarians up for a safe and pleasant summer. Now that the last long weekend of the summer is almost upon us motorists have been given the straight goods about safety all summer, the OPP is joining with police services across the province to ensure a safe Labour Day holiday. The OPP is warning everyone that they will exercise zero tolerance towards those who commit offences on our roads and lakes this weekend. "Motor vehicle collisions and boating incidents do not occur because Of inevitable circumstances," said Const. Jeff Walraven, "but through circumstances that can completely be avoided if common sense is reflected in our behaviour when driving a vehicle or a boat." Yet every year, common sense does not always prevail and as such, OPP officers from detachments across the province will be targeting everyone who is caught speeding, drinking and driving/boating, failing to buckle up, driving aggressively, making unsafe driving maneuvers, and hauling marine vessels and trailers dangerously. The OPP hopes that delivering these important safety messages before and going into the Labour Day weekend will ingrain safety into the minds of everyone taking to the, road and water this coming weekend, and will prompt you to remember that lying around doing nothing is a lot more relaxing at the lake than in the hospital. "Have a safe and memorable Labour Day weekend, and make sure that you and your family live to talk about it for years to come." Forums set up to discuss LHINs Many community forums have have been set up to share the proposed priorities of Local Health Integration Networks, and to listen to the ideas of the people about health care concerns. In March 2006, the Ontario government passed legislation creating 14 LHINs. LHINs are not-for-profit organizations that have the mandate to plan and co-ordinate specific health care services as well as to ensure that health care organizations, community based services, health centres, long-term care homes and hospitals work together to deliver seamless, accessible and responsive care that focuses on prevention, diagnosis and treatment based on local needs and local input. By working with local health providers and community members, LHINs are developing an integrated health service plan for their local area. Eventually they will be responsible for funding and ensuring accountability of local health service providers. (MS — For many families, there is an undeniable need to hire child care. However, there have been increasing reports of improper behavior or abuse from child-care workers. Here are some signs that indicate time to look for new help: • Sitter seems secretive: Your sitter should be able to provide you a rundown of the day's activities. If she is hush-hush about things, it could mean she's hiding something. • Your children aren't happy to see the sitter. While it could take a few weeks or months for children to warm up to a new sitter, most will eventually find a connection to this caregiver. If your child seems unusually withdrawn or scared, the sitter may be to blame. • Your child is getting into too many accidents. Children are active and do get banged up on occasion. However, if too many easily avoidable accidents are happening, it could mean the sitter isn't watching the children as carefully as she should. • She's overly critical of your parenting style. If she doesn't follow your guidelines or regularly The Brubachers of Ethel Restaurant & Bakery The south-west LHIN will serve an approximate one million people throughout eight counties.

With a focus on integration, the LHIN will build on the work already being done in our communities. There has been a stragetic advisory group established to inform bad sitter contradicts what you say, it could be time to find a new sitter. • Tardiness. If she regularly shows up late, she's not dependable. • She's being deceitful.
