Clinton News Record, 2016-03-09, Page 11Pocket dials and accidental 9-1-1 dials
Valuable police resources wasted on non -emergent calls
Pocket dials from cell
phones and accidental 9-1-1
misdials continue to be a
problem for many police
services including the
Ontario Provincial Police
(OPP). Over 5 percent of
Huron County OPP's calls for
service in 2015 were for
9-1-1 calls that were
non -emergencies.
A closer look at Huron
County OPP's nearly 1000
non -emergent 9-1-1 calls
identifies pocket dials and
accidental dials as the main
source. Pocket dials and acci-
dental 9-1-1 calls accounted
for a staggering 75 percent of
these calls. Children playing
on the phone, line transmis-
sion problems, callers looking
for other agency numbers and
road condition updates
accounted for the remaining
25 percent.

CHARMING NARROW LOT HOME
Designed especially for a narrow lot,
this charming two-storey family home
includes three bedrooms plus a den, as
well as a terrace and a covered deck at
the back.
Entry is through a foyer, where the den
is to the left. Directly ahead, through an
archway, is a coat cupboard, as well as the
U-shaped staircase up to the second -floor
sleeping bedrooms.
A second archway leads into the dining -
room and kitchen, while just beyond,
under a dramatic vaulted ceiling, is the
great room.
Located in a space at the back of the
home that looks over the garden, the great
room features French doors that open
onto a covered deck with a sunny terrace
beyond. A gas fireplace will make this
room cozy during the cooler months.
The dining room is separated from the
stairwell by a railing, and includes an
optional buffet, which will increase
storage and serving space.
The kitchen's raised eating bar and prep
island divides it from the dining room.
The U-shaped counter configuration
promises efficiency, and a large pantry in
one corner provides extra room for stapes
and canned goods. The window over the
double sink looks out to the covered deck.
Also on the main floor is the laundry room,
as well as a two-piece powder room with
a built-in shelf.
Upstairs, the master suite includes a
window with an extra -deep sill that
overlooks the front garden. The en -suite
includes a soaker tub, as well as a glass
shower stall, and the roomy walk-in
closet offers space for the most clothes -
conscious couple.
The second and third bedrooms, both
overlooking the back garden, share a
three-piece bathroom. A linen closet
is located nearby, handy to all three
bedrooms. A railing separates the stairwell
from the upper landing, and there is a
window on the lower landing.
Exterior finishes include horizontal siding
and shingled gable ends, as well as
decorative oval vents in the upper gables.
The shingles are echoed in the bases of
the pilasters that support the covered front
porch.
This home measures 25 feet wide and 57
feet, six inches deep, for a total of 1,917
square feet. Ceilings, except in the great
room, are nine feet high. The design also
includes an unfinished basement.
