Staff photo Police promise seatbelt crackdown Do :you wear your seatbelt everytime you go out in your car and en- courage your passengers to do the same? If you aren't wearing your seatbelt, even for that short trip to the milk store, you could be in for a fine. The Midland Police report said that they're Starting a stiffer crack- down on seatbelt legislation If you are stopped and your seatbelt is still curled up on the floor, it will cost you $28. ac- cording to Staff Sergeant Ross Willett. What's more, if your passenger is a minor, and doesn't have his seatbelt on, you could be charged $28 ~=for him too Passengers can also be charged and fined for failing to wear a seatbelt. If your seatbelt is broken, don't think that will get you off the hook. According to Sergeant Willet it is your respon- sibility to get it fixed before you are stopped. Only drivers of old cars that never had and still don't have seatbelts get off the hook. However, if you drive an old car and have had seatbelts in- stalled, you must wear them, says Sergeant Willet. People exempt from wearing a seatbelt are children under the age of two and those with a medical certificate from their doctor. However, Willet says that doctors are becoming more reluctant to hand out medical certificates. The crackdown by the Midland Police means that more cars will be stopped and the oc- cupants checked to make sure they are all buckled up. Willet says that so far, the majority of the drivers stopped have had their seatbelts on. He Simcoe North Executive Contact: Mrs. R.

Planning Board representative Council passed a motion changing their policy of having the planning board report to council. Reeve Sam Ancio was reporting to council as chairman of the public works committee. The new policy changes the reporting duties to a member of council that also sits on the Planning Board. Reeve Ancio does not sit on the Planning Board. After this motion was passed, council passed a motion appointing Richard Platt as the one to report to council on the Planning Board. This new policy goes into effect immediately. Hospital Board Council is still trying to get Huronia District Hospital Board to change their meeting night, since it falls on the same Monday as a regular council meeting does.
