They make careful decisions about spending time and money, where to go and how to have fun. The following are some ways people gamble responsibly: • Gamble for entertainment, not as a way to make money • Balance gambling with other leisure activities • Only use discretionary income, not money for everyday expenses • Set a budget and stick to it. If you have lost the money you budgeted for gambling - stop • Don’t borrow money to gamble • Avoid on-site cash machines for additional gambling money wearing a helmet, “it falls back, largely, on parental responsibility.” Children under 18 years of age are required, by law, to wear a certified helmet when riding a bike. Several concerns about ATVs were noted both from home owners as well as vehicle drivers. In response to complaints of ATV users driving in Ethel, Const. Gillan explained that it is illegal to drive these recreational vehicles on public streets and charges can be laid.

Although ideas were suggested to possibly resolve the matter, it was decided to forward the complaint on to the County of Huron Roads Department. Cleanup of the Conservation Area at Krauter Line was another topic brought forth, so that the area might be restored for public use. The high volume of hunters on that land was of considerable concern. Const. Gillan suggested that restoring the area might potentially send a message that hunters are not welcomed.
