RL ie oa 6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, August 6, 1986 Just one impaired in OPP spot checks They're getting message Officers from the Whitby detach- ment of the OPP had a busy weekend in Port Perry conducting road-side spot checks on Highway 7A near the entrance to the Port Perry Plaza. Several hundred drivers were stopped over the weekend for breath testing, and a spokesman for the Whitby detachment said just one impaired driving charge was laid. Several other drivers were issued with 12 hour licence suspensions for registering a "warning" on the por- table breathalyser. The OPP spokesman said the fact that so few charges were laid may be an indication that people are tak- ing seriously the warnings about drinking and driving. . When asked why Highway 7A through Port Perry was selected for the August holiday weekend spot checks, the spokesman said officers in the past have found numerous im- paired drivers in this area. And drivers can expect to run in- (From page 1) replies by mid-November. It's not too early to start notifying people that the reunion will be held. Many former students, especially those now living far away, will have to make holiday plans if they hope to attend next June, Mrs. Jackman explained. Other committee members who are working to organize this first ever reunion, include Barb Brad- Viewpoint They are just waiting to embrace a politician or political party that will stand up for their rights. They want the streets cleaned up and made safe for decent folks again. But mostly they want a guarantee that anyone who takes the life of an 11-year old in cold blood will pay the supreme penalty. Some may argue this would only be filling a need for vengeance. They could be right. But the anguished middle class doesn't care anymore what is said about how it feels and what it wants. There have been too many Alison Parrotts in recent years and the middle class is growing angrier by the minute. -- SUNDERLAND -- Tractor Pull SATURDAY, AUGUST 9th 7 B.IM.

"It's tragic to see a family strug- gling to cope with the shock of los- ing all their possessions, only to discover they can't afford to replace half of them," says Don Sandilands, an insurance expert with the On- tario Ministry of Financial Institu- tions (MFI). "To protect yourself, + review your household insurance policy every year and upgrade it as necessary." When a policy comes up for renewal, homeowners should take stock of all their possessions. If you haven't already made a list of everything you own, go through the house room by room, taking an in- ventory. Jot down the approximate value and replacement cost of each item. How much are the goods ac- tually worth in their current condi- tion and what would it cost to buy similar merchandise today? The inventory list could prove in- valuable if anything is destroyed or stolen. Store it in a safe place away from the house. Insurance agents and brokers can often provide inventory booklets and other material to help you calculate insurable amounts on your home and contents. Homeowners who have already done an inventory should take it out every year and revise the costs listed. Any new purchases should be added. To avoid possible disputes over claims, you may need special coverage for particularly valuable items such as furs, jewelry and an- tiques. Detailed photographs and appraisals of prized possessions can also help avoid hassles. Most policies cover the depreciated value of the household contents. But it is possible to buy special policies offering replace- ment values. Insurance companies will also arrange to cover the replacement costs of specific items even if most of the household con- tents are only insured for their ex- isting value. The amount of insurance homeowners should carry on the ac- tual house is determined by the cost of rebuilding, not the resale value of the property which includes the value of the land. According to San- dilands, this figure should also be revised annually. If in doubt, con- sider having a professional ap- praisal done. Tenants should be sure they understand what insurance they are required to carry under the terms of their leases. Apartment, con- dominium, and townhouse owners should find out what areas of the building they are responsible for insuring. "It's also important to understand the extent of your coverage,' says Sandilands. "Most policies don't cover damages caused by floods or earthquakes. Are there any other restrictions on your coverage? Will your insurance pay for emergency accommodation if the house 1s destroyed? If you're unsure about any aspect of your policy, have a chat with your insurance agent or broker." Insurance costs vary between companies. When arranging household insurance for the first time or renewing an old policy, shop around for the best combination of price, coverage and reliability. San- dilands suggests.
