6 - The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, September il, 2001 SC01viIN Please be sure 10 slow down in sehool zones Speed kilis. Apparently some motorists just aren't getting that mes- sage. With the start of another sehool year, there are more young people than ever walldng our town roads - increasing the risk of serious injuries and fatalities. A police blitz of school zones i Peel on the first day of classes nabbed more than 200 motorists who exceeded the 40-km/h speed limit. Halton didn't hold a formai blitz of its own, but we fear the num- bers would have been similar. Pedestrians and motorists share a responsibility to be on constant lookout for one another, while obeymng the rules of the road that apply to them. Sadly, there's still motorists who place getting to work i a timely fashion ahead of personal safety, and that of anyone unfortunate enough to cross their path. And unless there's a fundamental change i attitude, police will con- tinue to flnd themselves outnumbered by speeders and faced with the task of informing the next of kmn of each victim of carnage on our roads.

Dear Editor: I bave encloscd s titisesa prograin as weil as specific diet information for you and your colleagues at Queen's Park. l'nt sure tIsat after accepting a wbopping 37 per cent PSY bike you must be feeling pretty bloated, tomnewbat giddy and a littie nau- seous having buried your bcad so decply into the public trotsgh. Ail kidding aside, do you even feel a bit guilty about baving reacbed ai deeply into Use pockets of Ontariana? the Ontario Progressive Conservatîve Party has in fact back- tracked on a principle of the '95 Common Sense Revolution. My understanding was that your tbtsrst was so slir down govein- ment and to, cut back on expendi- turcs in order to return funds to the provincial treasury. This latest action would counter that lime of thinking. 1 recognize tihe need for a psy hike, but when your pay hike exceeda thse $5.000 annusi salary of a scisool tnustee by $32,000, one begins to sec two different sets of rules. Your govemment expects public raise over three years, while indulgsng in a level of gluttony unseen amne Caligula's reign. 1 observed you leader Mike Harris on television jumping througb hopes in order to explain the rationale and impartiality used an decidiasg these raises - but in my opinion the wrong choice was made by ail MPPs that embraced the pay bike as fair. The money would have been bet- ter spent on attracting seriously- needed nurses, doctors and educa- tors to Our province.
