Durham police’s major fraud unit con- ducted an investigation into the conduct of a bookkeeper who was hired part-time by a small, family-owned flooring company located in Pickering. Between September 2013 and Novem- ber 2016, police believe the accused used her position to write unauthorized busi- ness cheques to herself, forge the employ- er’s signature, falsify record entries in the accounting software, and dispose of bank- ing records before they could be reviewed by the employer or their accountant. It is alleged that this scheme contin- ued undetected for more than three years, during which time the suspect fraudulent- ly obtained close to $500,000, causing the small, family-owned company significant financial hardship, police said. It is fur- ther alleged she laundered the proceeds obtained from this fraud by converting the cheques to cash, some of which was used to purchase a motor vehicle. Search warrants were executed at the accused's residence where several items were seized as proceeds of crime, includ- ing a motor vehicle. Nancy Gandhi, 51, of Skelton Crescent in Ajax is charged with fraud over $5,000; possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000; forgery; uttering forged docu- ment; falsification of books or documents; drawing document without authority; obtaining execution of valuable security by fraud; and laundering proceeds of crime. Investigators want to ensure there are no other victims. Anyone with new infor- mation about this investigation is asked to contact Detective Carriere of the Major Crime Unit at 905-579-1520 ext. 5279. Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or on the website at www.durhamregional- crimestoppers.ca, and tipsters are eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

Participants in this year’s special ride across Canada have an option of doing six legs. There’s a section from Vancou- ver to Calgary, or from Calgary to Regi- na for example. But 60 of them, including Vanderkuur, will go the full distance, from coast to coast. He’s the oldest doing the entire ride. “I’m really looking forward to it,” he said. Vanderkuur has been using Zwift, an indoor cycling program that takes him vir- tually to different tracks around the world, since November. He’s also been running to prepare for the long trip. He hopes his journey will inspire other seniors to stay active and get involved in the community. On their journey, the riders will be accompanied by two trucks, one for their personal belongings, and another featur- ing a full kitchen. “The food is actually really good,” he said, adding communities tend to be gen- erous along the way, offering items such as baked goods to the riders. They’ll be tenting along the way, camp- ing out at churches, parks and high schools. Bicycling is nothing new to Vanderkuur, as he’s been riding for decades. When he was the chief scientist at the Ontario Science Centre, he commuted on his bike from Pickering to the Toronto- based facility every day, even in the winter. He took Kingston Road all the way to Eglin- ton Avenue. “I became quite famous,” he laughed. “But it kept me quite healthy.” Although he has newer models, Vanderkuur will be riding his bike that was built back in 1978. “It’s got modern parts on it, but the frame is the same,” he said. And although he wasn’t wearing it in the photos, Vanderkuur will sport his hel- met for the ride. “I have hit my head twice,” he said. “I’ve had one fall where it dented my helmet.” Currently director of the Erindale Acad- emy and principal of Toronto Central Academy, the schools have been helping him raise funds for the ride. Formerly, Vanderkuur was also presi- dent of the Royal Canadian Institute for the Advancement of Science, an educa- tion consultant to the Toronto District School Board, and principal of Holy Trin- ity School. He has donated to many charitable causes, such as disaster relief around the world. Through his church, Crossroads Community Church, he recently spon- sored Syrian refugees to help them settle in Toronto. He’ll continue fundraising through this ride. “Twenty per cent of the funds raised will be spent locally,” he said. Sea to Sea supports two organizations in its efforts to fight poverty around the world. Partners Worldwide, a global Christian network, uses business as the way to end poverty. It partners with local businesses and business people around the world to mentor, train, and provide access to capital to help individuals create a business. “It also does advocacy work,” said Vanderkuur. Through microloans, community devel- opment, and savings groups, the second organization, World Renew, equips people struggling with poverty to change their sto- ries. “It’s a great cause, but it’s also some- thing you really like doing,” Vanderkuur said of the upcoming ride. He has personally raised around $13,000 so far.

On June 6, at around 9:45 p.m., officers from West Division responded to Glenanna Road and Fieldlight Boulevard in Pickering after reports of a fail-to-remain collision. Police say within minutes, a second fail-to- remain collision occurred at Glenanna and Liverpool Roads involving the same sus- pect vehicle. The vehicle eventually struck a hydro pole. A female passenger exited the vehicle before it took off once again. Officers were able to locate the heavily- damaged vehicle nearby. The female passenger sustained minor injuries. The suspect was arrested and taken to West Division for breath tests. Khaddre Stewart-Wallace, 24, of Glenanna Road in Pickering, faces a num- ber of charges including impaired opera- tion, two counts of fail to remain; taking an automobile without consent, and driving while suspended. He was held for a bail hearing. Anyone with information on this inci- dent is asked to call Const. Beline of West Division at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2521. Anonymous information can be sent to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.durham- regionalcrimestoppers.ca, and tipsters may be eligible for a $2,000 cash reward.

Court records indicate Georgina Cassidy, 47, was detained following a bail hearing May 27 at the Oshawa courthouse. She is sched- uled to appear in court by video link next Wednesday. Cassidy faces multiple counts of assault as well as threatening death and threatening bodily harm after an investigation by police into reports of assaultive behaviour toward people who appear to have been targeted because of their Muslim heritage. In the first instance, on May 21 a woman approached a couple in the Oshawa Centre, making comments about the woman’s hijab and assaulting them, Durham police said. The suspect kicked another woman and man — also Muslims — who intervened, police said. The following day a suspect attacked a woman at Lakeview Park in Oshawa, pushing her to the ground before fleeing, police said. Cops made an arrest after identifying a suspect. Investigators are consulting with the Ministry of the Attorney General to deter- mine if the allegations merit hate crime charges, police said. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, extension 2766.

As an alternative this $200,000 plus fed- eral monies could have been distributed to all Ontario municipalities to help them create separated pedestrian and bicycle trails for greater public safety. What bet- ter way to celebrate Ontario and Canada’s 150th birthday than to improve lasting public safety. Premier Wynne needs to learn that Ontario goes beyond Toronto’s Liberal rid- ings. Ontario is more than the city bound- aries of Toronto. Very disappointed. Jim McEwen Bowmanville lETTEr To THE EDiTorTrent University Durham-GTA hosts second convocation in Durham Region This week, we celebrate the most important event in the University cal- endar: convocation. It’s a time to rec- ognize the accomplishments of our graduates, the contributions and support of their family and friends, and the pivotal role played by our faculty and staff in guiding them to this milestone. Convocation at Trent University Durham — GTA is especially unique. After years of cel- ebrating our Durham grads at ceremonies at our Peterborough campus, our GTA students advocated to graduate as a distinct cohort in their home region. This year, we’re happy to be hosting our own convocation ceremony for the second time here in the Durham Region at the Ajax Convention Centre on Wednesday. At the ceremony, more than 100 graduat- ing students will walk across the stage, accept- ing degrees in all Trent University Durham — GTA programs, including: business adminis- tration, English literature, psychology, sociol- ogy, anthropology, history, cultural studies, gender and women’s studies, and informa- tion systems. This year, we’ll also have the first graduates of our new marketing and entrepre- neurship postgraduate certificate program. Also during this week’s ceremony, Steven Poloz, governor of the Bank of Canada and an Oshawa native, will address the graduating class as he receives an honorary doctor of laws degree from Trent. Convocation is the culmination of an excit- ing year for our thriving GTA campus. This past fall, our 2016 incoming class was the largest in our 40-plus year history, and it’s clear that the student population will con- tinue to grow. Trent also led the province for an increase in applications and first choice accepts from high school students, up by 24.7 per cent according to data released by the Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC) last week. Trent has also led Ontario universities every month for the second year in a row for percentage increase in applica- tions, on average up by 17 per cent. Not only does the Trent Durham student population continue to grow and expand, but after convocation this week, Trent grads have no need to fear about finding employ- ment once they have their degree in hand. The recently released 2015 Ontario Graduate Survey shows that Trent University continues to lead graduates on a path to career success, with graduate employment rates among the best in the province. Within two years of grad- uating, Trent students recorded an impressive employment rate of 95.4 per cent. -- Joe Muldoon, head of Trent University Durham — GTA Joe muldoon Guest columnist A group of disgruntled city councillors in Brampton seem to be confusing freedom of the press with freedom from the press. Angry with recent coverage by the Bramp- ton Guardian, a Metroland Media newspaper, some councillors are proposing a motion to scrutinize the media’s questioning of elect- ed officials. It’s a thinly veiled attempt to intimidate reporters. The motion calls for all media inquiries to be posted on the city web- site along with provided responses. Further, councillors want future meeting agendas to include time to respond to media coverage. Meanwhile, at least one member of Brampton council has also taken to Twitter, suggesting the local paper isn’t providing “real news.” If it sounds reminiscent of the antics of President Donald Trump and his staff, that’s because there’s a strong and troubling paral- lel. This is all in reaction to assertive reporting that is critical of the city’s leadership. Councillors say they have put the press on notice. Such a statement demonstrates a bla- tant disregard for, or ignorance of, the checks and balances already strongly entrenched in the Canadian media system. Accountability starts with the news outlet itself. Complaints can be made directly to a journalist, editor, or publisher. If the response is unsatisfactory, individu- als can contact the press council. The Nation- al NewsMedia Council deals with matters concerning fairness of coverage, relevance, balance and accuracy. Its members (includ- ing this newspaper) abide by its decisions. It’s a free and open process for the public. When media make a mistake, we own it very publicly. That’s not something every- one can say. And there is the law. Canada has very strict libel laws. These laws protect the reputation of individuals and organizations from false and derogatory remarks. Media are bound by these laws. There have been no formal complaints made regarding recent coverage of Brampton. Instead, this is about a group of councillors lashing out because they are upset with what strong local reporting has unearthed. Strong, independent reporting on behalf of the public has led to truthful and unflattering accounts of what has been transpiring at city hall. These councillors forget that media are not accountable to elected officials. Media are accountable to the public, the same group whose money these councillors are spend- ing. Claiming to put the press on notice is a poorly disguised attack on the fundamental freedoms laid out in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which includes free- dom of the press. Ultimately councillors are trying to stifle critical voices and control our free, indepen- dent and responsible media. That’s a scary development. Any attempt by elected offi- cials to limit the free flow of information is an attack on the basic democratic principles our society upholds. It won’t work. Metroland is putting Brampton’s elected officials on notice: Media will not be intimi- dated by these disguised bullying tactics. Intimidation won’t silence local media du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 4 , 2 0 1 7 7 AP ***cleaver As low as Commission1% * NEW CHOICEREALTYLTDBROkERAgEIndependently Owned and Operated www.MincomRealty.ca 905-428-4557FREE Home Market Evaluation *Limited Time Offer *Terms & Conditions Apply $aving YOU THOU$anD$...

ThankyouLadies, Couldn’thavedoneitwithoutyou Bruce W, Pickering Parking solution needed for Pickering’s Douglas Park To the editor: I am the father of four kids, living and working in Pickering. My second daughter recently had a soccer meeting last night at Douglas Park. We got there around 6:55 p.m., I parked behind another car on the east side of Douglas Avenue in front of a house. The west side of the street was no parking, and posted as such. We were only there for 12 minutes and got at ticket for parking within 1 metre of a driveway/laneway, bylaw No. 6604/5. I understand the reasoning for this bylaw, I was about 2 feet from the drive- way. This is a City of Pickering park. There were about 50+ parents there with cars. A lacrosse game was happening at the same time. So to sum up my daughter is playing Pickering-run soccer at a Pickering-run park, and this park has no parking! This is where she will be playing all summer. The only option is to park on the street, like everyone else. We got a $25 ticket after being parked for 12 minutes (ticket time 7:07 p.m.). If I don’t pay this ticket within seven days it jumps to $38. I am sure I was not the only one to get a ticket. Troy Mutton Pickering How could one party do so much harm to Ontario? To the editor: Re: ‘Liberals don’t seem bothered by Ontario’s debt’, letter, durhamregion.com Letter writer Pierre Clinch states that “the debt goes up by $20,000 every minute.” Could this possibly be true? This seems like insanity. Could people we hire to take care of us mismanage our financial affairs to this extent? Further, I just received this email from Todd Smith, critic, energy for the PC Party: “Ontario’s financial accountability offi- cer reported that the Liberals’ ‘cut’ will actually hike (hydro) rates starting next year.” It could cost us nearly $100 billion in the long-term. And their plan includes a new, bloated debt retirement charge … four times higher than it was before. Someone please tell me that this is all a mistake.

At Boyd Archaeological Field School in Pickering, students can earn a Grade 12 credit in two weeks, while getting hands-on with history. “This is unique in Canada,” says school co-ordinator Aldo Missio. “There are lots of field courses to take in university, but this is for high school students and its real archeology. It gives students who are interested in this field a real leg up when they go on to post-secondary.” The program is run jointly by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and the York Region District School Board. It usually includes between 20 and 30 students and costs about $2,300, which includes accom- modation and meals for the two weeks. Students have the opportu- nity to excavate an abandoned farm field on Pickering’s Seaton lands, that was once home to a settlement of people ances- tral to the HuronWendat First Nations. Students working on the site — which has been active for about five years — have found every- thing from pottery fragments, to fish bones. “We’re just scratching the sur- face, the nature of the site is slow- ly being discovered,” says Missio. “Because the artifacts are scat- tered over a large area, it’s perfect for teaching.” All excavation is supervised by licensed professional archaeolo- gists and their staff of field assis- tants. Students also do classroom work that includes guest speakers and hands-on activities such as a stone toolmaking workshop. And, Missio says being away from home, making new friends and doing hands-on work gives students valuable life experience. “A lot of parents say they can’t believe how much more mature their child is after just two weeks,” he says. To attend the program, stu- dents must have completed Grade 10 and provide a recommenda- tion from a principal or teacher. It is also recommended that students have a Grade 11 social science course. Students who complete the field school course earn an Ontar- io Grade 12 university prep credit in interdisciplinary studies. Those who have already com- pleted that credit can get a world geography: human patterns and interactions, Grade 12 university prep credit instead. This year’s field school pro- gram runs from July 14 to 30 and the registration deadline is June 18. Visit www.boydfieldschool.org for more information.

She couldn’t wait to get a start in her new career. Barb explains, “Iwas employed as an RN at Lakeridge Health for the past 25 years. Real Estate was always onmy “passion list” and I began taking the courses in my last 18 months of employment with LH.I considered real estate 25 years ago and it’s always been in the back of my mind. So, when I left LH in 2016, I took some time off, travelled and was refreshed and looking forward to pursuing this avenue. Thereason why I chose CBRMR to start my real estate career was that I was impressed by the presentation at the HolidayInn in Oshawa when I was taking my courses and I decided then that I was taking CB RMR BOOT CAMP. As a mature student, I recognize there is always more to learn and prefer to work in an environment that fosters educationand a supportive environment. CB RMR gives me that.” Barb made the decision to join Coldwell Banker because of its award-winning education platforms and innovativemarketing and technology, backed by a world-class support system.

FOCUS ON FAMILY FOCUS ON SENIORS FOCUS ON HEAL TH FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland OSHAWA -- Lori, left, is a foster parent and Anne-Marie Murdoch is a recruitment development worker with the Durham Children’s Aid Society. The DCAS is facing a shortage in foster parents and families. Durham desperately needs foster parents As experienced foster parents look to retire, Durham Children’s Aid Society says it needs new and more diverse temporary homes for the almost 600 children in care By Elisabeth Pfeiffer The Durham Children’s Aid Society (CAS) is facing a dire shortage of foster parents and families. As its current roster of foster families grows older, and as Durham Region’s population grows more diverse, the need for caregivers to foster children has grown exponentially. Anne Marie Murdoch, a recruitment development worker with CAS, said she is aware of a similar shortage across the province, but the reasons for the short- age are many: “Over the past few years, we’ve seen good, strong foster homes get older or are retiring,” Murdoch said. “As well, we have a more diverse need to ensure our fostering population reflects what our community looks like — be it race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religion.” Where possible, CAS tries to match foster children with a fam- ily not just geographically, but along racial, religious and cultural lines so that it’s less disruptive for the child. “When a child comes into foster care, they are los- ing so much: their family, school, recre- ation — just one aspect can make it eas- ier. We have an obligation as workers to embrace the child’s identity.” Currently, most foster homes are Caucasian and Christian-based, but the diversity of the children in foster care is as vast as Dur- ham Region itself. The greatest need is for families for teens, babies and sibling groups. These are some of the more challenging demo- graphic groups to find a home for, along with those children who have special needs or behavioural issues (like those resulting from fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, for example), Murdoch said. Foster care is different from adoption as families are only providing safe, stable care for a child for a temporary time. The ultimate goal is to reunite the child with its natural family, if possible. If that is unlikely to happen, the foster family may be able to care for the child on a long- term basis, or the child will be declared a crown ward and can be adopted by the foster family. The reasons why children end up in foster care can also make it challenging to place them: they have suffered physi- cal or sexual abuse, neglect or abandon- ment, parents have died, been charged with a crime or incarcerated, or there is a behavioural issue that has caused a child to be voluntarily placed in foster care, like truancy. In most cases, there is no malice intended by the natural parent or the parents do not have the proper informa- tion or coping skills, explained Andrea Maenza, communications coordinator for Durham CAS. A child may come into care because its natural parent is strug- gling with mental health or substance abuse issues or because a mother, for example, is a victim of violence and the potential risk to the child is increased. Parenting a child that has faced any of these issues is never easy, but CAS offers an abundance of support and training, along with respite care. As well, access visits with the natural family always occur at the CAS headquarters, located at 1320 Airport Blvd. Lori, 44, said she and her family decid- ed to foster because they wanted to give back to the community. “I feel that we are doing something really good,” she said. Her family began fostering an infant girl in November. She cautioned that fostering — just like natural parenting — is not for every- one: “You have to know in your heart of hearts that you are ready to do this. You need good support from your family and friends.” But the rewards are huge: Lori’s family has helped and watched their child grow and she encourages and works with the natural family for when the infant will See WE page 15 Take me home!FEBRUARY 2017 Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Here’s an outline for the perfect patriotic kid’s party... because Confed- eration isn’t going to cel- ebrate itself. Games and sports Burn off some of that sugar and get the kids moving with active games, sport and even a national dance routine. Play duck, duck, goose but rename it beaver, bea- ver, moose (get it?) in honour of Canada’s iconic animals. A casual lacrosse or ball hockey game can keep kids and adults enter- tained for hours. Lacrosse is the nation- al game of Canada and hockey is the popular game of Canada, played year-round by Canadians of all ages. Canada’s National Bal- let School has a free dance program called Sharing Dance. Register online at www.nbs-enb.ca/Shar- ing-Dance and the kids can watch rehearsal vid- eos and learn the chore- ography for a special Can- ada 150 dance. Literature Make sure there’s a shad- ed spot for kids to recharge after running around. Grab some Canada- themed children’s books from the library and set up a reading nook under a beach umbrella. Rob- ert Munch is a beloved, best-selling Canadian children’s author whose books (there are 54) would be an amazing way to cel- ebrate Canada Day. Food Canada’s classic cuisines can make for unique party fare and the kids are sure to love it. Apple slices (bonus points if you go for the messy option of maple syrup dip), poutine, ketchup chips and a red fruit tray -- think straw- berries, raspberries, cher- ries and watermelon on a plater with a yogurt dip that can make a healthy treat the kids may actually eat. Art A patriotic craft corner can be as simple as some art supplies, blank papers and a bunch of maple leaves collected on a walk. Did you know that the Canada 150 logo was designed by a student? Ariana Cuvin from the University of Waterloo won the nation-wide com- petition with her maple leaf designed of 13 dia- monds to represent Cana- da’s 13 provinces and ter- ritories. This Canada Day chal- lenge your young artists to create their own 150th anniversary logo. In case of rain It’s been a soggy spring and it’s always a good idea to have a back-up plan in case of bad weather. Move the party inside and put on the new television series of Anne of Green Gables.

It happened when the FLQ (Front de liberation du Quebec) kidnapped British diplomat James Cross and Quebec cabinet minister Pierre Laporte, who was subsequently murdered. Trudeau then invoked the never-before- imposed War Measures Act, which limited civil liberties. The police arrested and detained 497 people, all but 62 of whom were released without charges. It is believed federal imposition of the War Measures Act helped push support for independence in Quebec. Toronto Star Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau leaves the House of Commons with a police escort after MPs voted 190-16 to support invoking the War Measures Act.

Foster par- ents do have to both recognize the dif- ficulty in letting go of a child they have come to love and the rights of the nat- ural parents. “It is very rare that those rights are completely removed,” Maenza explained. “There has be very good rea- sons to terminate those rights, and it is ultimately a judge that decides that.” For those considering fostering, there is, of course, a lengthy application pro- cess. Families of any size, including single parents, can apply to be a fos- ter parent. First, they contact CAS and will receive a package of information regarding fostering, along with appli- cation forms. When the forms are sent back to CAS, a recruitment development worker like Murdoch will meet with the family to talk about their plan to foster. The applicants will then go through 27 hours of training, must complete medi- cal evaluations of everyone in the house- hold, along with police and child welfare clearance checks. These security mea- sures are in place to protect the child, first and foremost. Finally, CAS will conduct a thorough study of the applicant’s home, in which they cover a number of issues, like the stability of the marriage, parenting style, personal characteristics, home safe- ty, history of the applicant and the age range of child the applicant would be interested in fostering. “We take our commitment to the safety and well-being of children very serious- ly, and we make every effort to ensure our foster families are the best they can be and are fully prepared,” Murdoch said. “The process provides us the opportu- nity to really get to know the applicant, and all members of the family, to learn about their background, desires and skill level.” The best type of applicant to foster a child is “anyone with a viable plan,” Mur- doch said. “We are looking for loving, compas- sionate people who are able to provide a safe and stable environment for a tem- porary amount of time.” -- Elisabeth is a local first-time mom and freelance journalist. She previously worked for the Windsor Star, Cornwall Standard-Freeholder, Ottawa Sun and Hamilton Spectator. She also loves comic books and hopes one day her son will share her passion for them.

Free DINING OUT In Ajax & Pickering Advertising Feature Celebrate Dad! Father’s Day is Sunday, June 18th Every year, we dedicate the third Sunday of June to our beloved fathers. And with good reason; Dad played many dif- ferent roles on a daily basis, and often still does. Whether he’s playing superhero, protector, adviser, con dant, nurse, cook or taxi driver, his only goal has always been our well-being and happiness. A constant presence in our lives, he repeatedly puts aside his own needs in order to make us happy, help us and encourage us. He’s given us unforgettable memories, from little nothings to the greatest mo ments. He taught us his solid values, spent countless hours with us and, above all, loved us ercely from the rst time he laid eyes on us. Because of all this, one day isn’t really enough to express all our love and gratitude, is it? However, Father’s Day is still the perfect opportu- nity to spend quality time with this man who has played such an important role in our lives. Let’s make the most of this occasion to say “thank you” and “I love you,” words that warm the heart even more than the most wonderful gift. Why not take the opportunity to spoil him in turn? After all, as “world’s best dad,” he deserves it. One thing’s for sure: whatever his tastes, he’ll really appreciate spending quality time with you, creating even more memories. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju n e 1 4 , 2 0 1 7 16 AP Production Assistant/Order Desk/ Inventory Control/Shipping and Receiving and other related duties.

She is survived by her daughter, Elizabeth Hodgins and her husband Jeffrey, her daughter-in-law Lynn Bishop and her husband Tom Loach, and her three grandchildren Nichola, Scott, and Laura Jane. Remembered by her brother-in-law Alfred Bendle, as well as several nieces, nephews, and a loving family in England. Predeceased by her husband, Peter (2006), her sons, Gary (1992) and Glen (2006) and her sister, Donna Donnelly (2005).

She quickly adapted to change and enjoyed her swimming classes and knitting and crafts with neighbours and friends in Corunna. She insisted on cutting her front lawn and tending to her gardens, as she loved being outdoors.

And the same message should apply when we’re on the water or on the trails. Even though summer is the perfect occasion to relax on a river, lake or ocean, on a trail with your bike or on the road with your camper, one drink too many can quickly take you into troubled territory. Mixing alcohol and recreational vehicles is a lot more dangerous than many people might think. The sun, the wind, the movement of a boat, the hum of an ATV motor can intensity the effect of alcohol, reduce fi ne motor skills, and affect your judgement. Other facts can impede safe play with our recreational vehicles including poor visibility, wind, speed, heavy traffi c and other natural hazards such as the presence of tree stumps or rocks. Always have a fi rst-aid kit with you as well as an approved portable fi re extinguisher in order to be ready for any dangerous situtation if you are on a boat or camper. And if you believe that tragic accidents only happen to others, think again! Every year, this kind of attitude leads to the death of dozens of people and causes terrible grief to as many families. So think about that before starting your engine. These local businesses want to remind you to ... PICKERING TOWN CENTRE Call to reserve today!905-215-0444 2 Days!
