RAMSEY A.A. 8:00 p.m. 7:30 p.m. Thursdays Sundays RAMSEY CITY HALL LOWER LEVEL- REAR ENTRANCE SUMMERTIME SAFETY By: Chief Auspos Very soon the children in our schools will be hear- ing (the last time for three months) the bell signify- ing the end of classes for school year 1986-87. With a crushing sadness, they will arise from their desks, leave their beloved books, cast longing glances at the assignment boards, say farewell to their now forlorn teachers and go forth to face the hot sun, beaches, parks, ball games, socializing, etc., etc.! Actually, what we will witness at the first "ring" will resemble the result of someone yelling "SNAKE" at a reptileophobic convention. A thunder- ing, cheering herd will burst forth to experience another blessedly breezy, beautiful summer vaca- tion. To parents, it is Tennessee William's "Long Hot Summer' in a continuous showing. To ice cream, pop, swimsuit and a wide variety of other retail sales folks, it is the three month Valhalla they have waited for all winter. To the Police Department, it is a time for establishing warm relationships warm relation- ships and lasting, loving memories of socializing with exuberant youths and their cars, motorcycles, three wheelers, bicycles, skateboards, roller skates, Reeboked feet and other exotic means of locomotion. That brings us to the subject of summertime safety. Come Fall, that "thundering herd" will be rounded up, reclothed, washed up and returned to their respective halls of learning. Do you suppose it is possible that we could make this a year when the head count will be the same returning as when they left? Maybe, with a high level of parental guidance (nagging!), they will all march back sporting the pro- per number of fingers and toes and with a minimum of bruises or broken bones. First, and foremost, in the area of safety is the in- teraction between kids and streets. Bicycles are great means of transportation but they share a rib- bon of pavement with much larger and faster cousins -- cars and trucks, and therefore must be ridden pro- perly if accidents are to be avoided. RULES!!! (Parents - Please relay these rules to your kids) PEDESTRIANS: 1. Don't PLAY in the streets; walk on them, facing traffic and near the left hand edge. Ride on and cross streets (carefully) but DON'T PLAY ON THEM! 2. When walking on streets at night, wear light colored clothing and if you frequently walk at night, have a reflective strip of cloth sewn onto a shirt or jacket. u.., ALCOHOLISM. A FAMILY DISEASE! TRY ALANON RAMSEY CITY HALL Thursdays 8:00 p.m. Lower Level, Rear Entrance 3. Parents/Sitters - Don't allow ditches or road edges to become sandboxes or Tonka Toy construction sites for the young ones. Not only do cars sometimes stray off to the road shoulders but kids get so involved in their play they sometimes forget where they are and jump up sud- denly and gambol around like a BunRab. It's beautiful to watch that sheer, innocent joy of living but not on a roadway. Pro- tect them! BIKERS: 1 . Ride with traffic and stay to the right side of the street, close to the road edge. When you look back to check for traffic behind you, keep in mind that when you turn your head to the left you will also tend to veer your bike to the left and into the path of other traffic. Be aware that this happens and use caution when looking behind you. 2. Stop at stop signs and at intersections that have no control signs; look carefully. before pulling out. If you feel at all in- secure about riding your bike across the street, push it! 3. DO NOT RIDE DOUBLE!!! When you double up on a bicycle, you lose stability and good control. Your passenger's movements can cause a sudden swerv- ing motion that you don't expect. 4. Equip your bike with proper reflectors and a light for night riding. When riding at night, wear light colored clothing. 5. On streets without paved shoulders, ride single file instead of side-by-side. 6. Have good working brakes and wear shoes when riding (I have found bare toes caught in the most unlikely and painful places). 7. PARENTS - keep your child off the streets until you can definitely see that he or she can control the bike with reasonable skill.

SPEED KILLS! -If not you, then someone else. Follow the speed limits because they are not arbitrary figures someone pulled out of a hat. A lot of careful thought and statistical study has gone into deter- mining a speed limit and when you ex- ceed it, you are playing games with the safety of yourselves and others. 2. When you are driving a car, your #1 priori- ty is the actual act of driving - not the stereo, not your passengers, not your Big Mac and fries, not your daydreams about an upcoming party, etc. 3. If you are going to DRINK (and I hope you are smart enough not to, but that's another subject at another time), don't DRIVE!!! If you find yourself in a difficult position at a gathering and nobody is safe to drive, call your parents; call a friend; call a cab; stay where you are (don't walk home); but please DON'T DRIVE. Two kinds of arrests can occur when drinking and driving: Police Arrest and Cardiac Ar- rest (after impact). The first one is our job, the second IS the coroner's. 4. BUCKLE UP - That way, even if you are suddenly struck with a case of severe stupidity (a condition that afflicts all of us at some time or other), you have a good chance of living through the conse- quences. Insist that your friends buckle up when they are riding in your car. For you amorous ones, remember, there is a lap belt for the spot right next to the driver. I have only touched on the major areas of Sum- mer Safety. There are many, many more such as swimming, boating, sports and so on, but I'm sure that you readers are near to the eye-rolling "won't he ever quit?" stage that my kids display at lecture time. I just hope that some of this receives some serious thought and has sunk in. The kids may not like to hear that first-period bell in September, but at least their chance of being there to hear it will be greater if they make an effort to follow these rules. Thanks.
