McQuarrie Drivers are responsible for buckling up young children October is seat belt safety month and both the Schreiber detachment of the O.P.P. and the Terrace Bay Police want people to be more aware of how the seat belt law applies to themselves and their families. Drivers are responsible for buckling up children until they reach the age of 16. Infants who weigh up to 9 kg (20Ib) must travel facing the rear in child restraint seat. Children who weigh between 9-18 kg (20-401b) must travel in a child restraint seat. When a tod- dler travels in a vehicle other than its parents or legal guardians, a lap belt may be used. Pre-schoolers from 18-23 kg (40- 501b) are required to use the lap belt portion of the seat belt assembly. It should be worn securely fitted low on the hips. The back seat is always the safest place for the child's car seat because it is away from the haz- ards of the windshield, geshboard or steering wheel. It is not safe for a child to held on someone's lap. If the vehicle comes to a sudden stop no-one can hold onto the young- ster. Take proper care of your chil- dren by buckling them up. Terrace Bay Police Notes Telalert There will be a test of the Telalert system in Terrace Bay in the near future. Telalert is a system that has been devised to alert businesses that crimes of a specific nature are being committed in the area. The Terrace Bay Police Force might receive telexed notification from the Canadian Police Information Centre, for example, that someone was passing coun- terfeit bills in communities west of Terrace Bay and were moving eastward. The police then contact two businesses to inform them of the situation. Each of these business- es will in turn contact two more businesses and so on. It is a fan-out system that allows the police and the business community to co-operate in crime prevention, said Chief Kidder of the Terrace Bay police. Telalert has gone into opera- tion twice already with one instance bringing positive results. RIDE Program The RIDE program in Terrace Bay will be in effect on Hallowe'en. Chief Kidder said the program will continue right through the holiday season until Easter, "We now have funding for it," he said, "$4,500 has been given to the community for the RIDE program from the Ontario Office of the Soliciter General."
