MPP clears up confusion on shopping Dear Editor: I would like to clear up the confusion about the Ontario government's plans for Sunday shopping legislation. On April 14, the government unveiled its plans to change legislation in order to pro- vide Ontario residents with a new set of rules which are fairer, more coherent and can be enforced. The amendments are not likely to result in major changes in the current Sunday shopping situation in Huron County. The new rules will allow Ontario com- munities freedom of choice in determining their own individual needs. Local govern- ments will be able to pass bylaws permit- ting the opening or requiring the closing of retail establishments on Sunday in keeping with their own values. As a result, Huron municipalities will be able to allow the present situation to con- tinue, if they wish. Or, they will be able to make changes, if they wish. Currently, some - such as ;Blyth, Bayfield and Goderich - allow varying Child crimes too common TO THE EDITOR degrees of Sunday openings, while nearby towns such as Clinton, Wingham and Ex- eter are far more restrictive. The new rules are an extension of the current practice, which allows municipalities control of store hours six days a week and partial control of Sunday hours. The new rules give the municipality more control over Sunday hours. The new laws will also have clear advan- tages over the current chaotic situation. The new rules will be coherent and en- forceable - and treat retailers more equitably. In addition, amendments to the Employ- ment Standards Act will, for the first time, provide effective protection for all" retail workers, who will now have the right to refuse unreasonable assignment of Sunday work. The amendments also provide protec- tion roteation for religious groups, while allowing for an orderly transition to the new rules over a five-year period. Overall, the changes proposed by the On- tario government will provide a number of important benefits while leaving the decision-making powers in the hands of the locally -elected councillors. Sincerely yours, ' Jack Riddell, Minister of Agriculture and' Food, MPP for Huron. Dear Editor: "Don't talk to strangers" is a common warning given to children by parents con- cerned for the personal safety of their children. Although well intended, the warn- ing ignores everything known about those who commit sexual crimes against children and, if anything, leavesthe child more vulnerable to exploitation. The term "stranger" is confusing to a child and misleads the child into believing that he or she should only be cautious of peo- ple who have an unusual or slovenly ap- pearance. The truth, of course, is that it is impossible to know a child molester by ap- pearance. They come from all walks of life, many of them even in positions of trust with children. Research has also shown that over 80 per- cent of all crimes against children are com- mitted by someone known to the child, not by someone the child would consider to be a stranger. Creating undue fear in the child's mind of "strangers" then leaves the child open to assault by someone the child knows and trusts. When speaking to children about personal safety it is more appropriate to teach them how to respond to certain situations rather than giving them a particular profile or im- age of a "stranger". Research has also shown that those who prey upon innocent children use only a limited number of lures to attract their prey. Children can easily be taught these "lures" and how to respond should they be approached. Crimes against innocent children will not be prevented by the use of games, gadgets, gimmicks, fingerprint kits or fear generating literature that is becoming too common on the market today. They can be prevented through common sense educa- tional programs in school and in home.
