Driving is risky enough -don't make it riskier by driving distracted

Commissioner Chris Lewis. "It's
not about the number of tickets

"During the campaign, families have had their lives
changed forever and for what? Two
very preventable deaths caused by
the bad decisions of these drivers";
says Deputy Commissioner Larry
Beechey, Provincial Commander of
Traffic Safety.
The vast majority of drivers over-
estimate their skills behind the
wheel and under -estimate the risk
associated with distracted driving.
They think that because they've
done it numerous times before with
no consequences, nothing bad will
ever happen.
Some experts suggest that people
prefer a certain amount of risk in
their environment, including while
driving. They actually make
changes to their situation in order
to match the amount of risk they
prefer. It seems that many drivers
feel they are adequately skilled to
drive while texting or talking on
their cell phone and last week's
fatalities clearly show that they are
not.
The OPP's four one-week cam-
paign over the course of the year
serves to heighten awareness about
this dangerous driving behaviour
and ultimately reduce collisions,
but the OPP wants to remind motor-
ists that enforcement of the distrac-
tion legislation is a priority every

HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK RELEASE DATE: OCT. 2ND- OCT. 8TH, 2011
PLAN NUMBER 2-3-744 SPACIOUS TWO-STOREY HOME
This spacious two-storey, three-bedroom home, which features a three -vehicle garage and an unfinished basement,
includes a den on the ground floor located near the entry that would make an ideal home office. With the main living
spaces on the second floor, this home will take good advantage of a view.
A covered porch, flanked by stone -based pilasters, leads into the ground -floor foyer, with the den to the right and a coat
cupboard directly ahead. An L-shaped staircase leads to the second floor and the great room, dining area and kitchen.
The great room features a gas -burning fireplace as well as large windows that open onto a sundeck that overlooks the
front garden. The sundeck is reached from the dining room's sliding glass doors. A small part of the deck is covered,
making year-round grilling an easy choice.
Flowing into the dining room and great room , the kitchen features an L-shaped counter configuration, with a window
over the double sink that looks out to a covered patio with stairs down to the back garden. A roomy pantry and a prep
island will provide extra storage and work space. The laundry room is adjacent to the kitchen.
The master bedroom features an extra wide sill on the window, and includes a generous walk-in closet with built in
shelves. The ensuite includes a soaker tub for a touch of spa -like luxury.
The two secondary bedrooms look out over the back garden and share a three-piece bathroom. The linen closet will be
handy for all three bedrooms.
On the ground floor, the large unfinished basement area could provide space for an in-law suite or mortgage helper. A
three-piece bathroom is roughed in. The den looks out to the front veranda.
Exterior finishes include wooden shingles and horizontal siding, with painted woodwork and partly mullioned windows.
Railings on both the veranda and sundeck are metal.
This home measures 47 feet wide and 48 feet deep, for a total of 1,525 square feet. All ceilings are nine feet high.
Pians for design 2-3-744 are available for $654 (set of 5), S735 (set of 8) and $782 for a super set of 10. Also add
