Child killed in crash LUCAN Ontario Provincial Po- lice at Lucan Detachment investi- gated forty general occurrences and six motor vehicle accidents during the week of November 6-12. - The accidents involved property damage only; except, erne accident which resulted in the death of a three year old boy. 'Bradley Wilker, age three, died as a -result of an accident on County Road 16 about one mile west of • Highway 4.on Friday, November • 11. He was a,passenger in a vehicle driven by his mother Debbra Wilk- er,.age 32. The Wilkcr vehicle was eastbound on County Road 16 at approximate- ly 7 a.m. when it went onto the south shoulder. The vehicle came back onto the slippery, snow- covered roads and slid sideways los- ing control. The Wilker vehicle was struck by a westbound one and one half ton truck on the passenger side. Also injured in the accident were a one year old brother, Matthew Wilker, who -was seriously injured. Debbra Wilker was treated for in-. juries at University Hospital: The driver of the other vehicle, Joseph McLeod of Lucan, was not hurt. The general occurrences investi- gated included six thefts, three break-ins, two damage complaints, and a sexual assault: The Lucan area is still being plagued with thefts from vehicles and break-ins. Three thefts and two break and enter oc- currences were reported this past week. Locking your vehicles help " prevent these thefts. A total of six criminal charges were laid in connection with the break-ins and one theft. - A local man, Peter Earhart, 23 of RR 2 Lucan, was charged with theft after being observed taking gas from Murphy Bus Lines lot in Lu- can. Remember to turn your head- lights on during periods of decreased visibility: The law requires you to have headlights on one half hour af- ter sunrise and pne half hour before sunset. Please drive safely and be seen. Double Take 111 by Bruce Shaw Finally, the last part of my reflections on thc stupidity about us - just a few short examples to demonstrate that it is more than just my active imagination. An incident was rcportcd recently that an individual was caught smoking pot in a 'sensitive' job. •He was immediately fired, but the company was forced to rehire him, with compensation, be- cause the union contract had not specifically advised the employee of the consequences of taking dope on the job: Where has common sense gone? • A businessman in Hensall was mailed -an advertisement stating that, if he sent money to this firm, he could receive a directory of over 500,0Q0 postal codes. Five of the six postal code characters on the notice were incorrect. (Ask Doug Mock.) We often receive announcements that particular days or weeks will be set aside for special causes. The latest one I received at school ad- vised us that the week of October 24 should be set aside to honour a certain activity. The material was postmarked October 25, and 1 re- ceived it on November 4. It is not just problems with the postal ser- vice. When the Young Offenders Act was proclaimed, an individual found guilty under the Act could not be named, described or identi- fied by the community in which he lived. The standard joke in the legal community was that if he escaped custody, the wanted poster would be a blank piece of cardboard. In 1986, the Act was amended so that if the court thought thc es- caped youth were a threat to the community, he could be named. But today, one town is in a state of extreme anxicty because a young offender who committed three murders when he (or she) was 14 is now being released after serving the maximum three year sen- tence. There is obviously a serious flaw in the law which could as- sume that rehabilitation could occur in such a short time. Com- pounding the danger in the minds of some is the fact that the youth's defense was insanity. What are we doing to ourselves! In another field we must acknowledge that our immigration regu- lations are absurd. We arc told, and I believe, that new Canadians are needed for our society and our economy. We remove thc barriers, on humanitarian grounds, for countless thousands from the Third World. . But we reinforce them against trained craftsmen and professionals from Europe. To provide for our new Canadians, (most of whom arc untrained and unskilled) we need peopl• with expertise and abilities in a variety of areas, but Canada cannot produce enough skilled and educated people with the talents required - the lack of machinists is a good example. People in Europe want to come to Canada, a country with unique opportunities and challenges, but they are frustrated, in some cases by as much as two or three years for probably a variety of reasons. The time has come to examine ourimtrrigtattvtr+ew's, to -see -if they reflect our needs. Locally, we are verjr concerned with what is happening al Huron Park. One guess has put the job loss during the last three years at 1000 and the economicfoss at $20,000,000! We have to bc aware of what is happening and why it is happening, and realize that it is not, as I've heard reported, the fault of Free Trade. We should take concrete steps to address the causes of plant re -locations. Why, for instance, did Fleck move? Was it labour costs? If. so„ could any of us have prevented the move to Mexico? If we blame Free Trade, we are ignoring the real reasons for the move and are be- ing distracted from the cause. It is asinine, in my view, to blame an agreement that hasn't even taken effect yet. Opponents of Free Trade would be better off to suggest that Fleck's move could illustrate what might happen if Free Trade were implemented, but a listener would have to bc pretty gullible to • swallow such nonsense. Let's prevent more Fleck moves, and let's not play politics. As you can see, stupidity docs surround us. The only thing that thinking Canadians can do is to light it whenever it appears; talk about issues honestly and openly and reject the ludicrous even if there is some personal cost which must be paid. After all of this two thoughts come to mind; even if they don't deal directly with all the examples, they do focus on us or individu- als and as members of our society: The unexamined life isn't worth living, and 'The surest path to tyranny is the apathy of the people.'
