IS A 4-WHEEL ALIGNMENT IMPORTANT?
EMC News - Havelock - Complaints about ATVs in Rotary Park have raised concerns with township council. “I’ve had several complaints over the last week about ATVs using the parks,â€? Mayor Ron Gerow said during last week’s council meeting. “There seem to be folks who have taken it upon themselves to ďŹ nd their routes around.â€? The municipality has an ATV bylaw that clearly sets out the rules of all-terrain vehicle use within the township and Gerow and fellow councillors are pleased with how well riders have honoured the regulations. So, public complaints about ATV use at the park and the need to install additional stone barriers at the soccer ďŹ eld have raised some alarms. “We’ve had some concerning things go on there,â€? Gerow admitted. “I think it’s important for people to know what’s going on.â€? “We’ve not had any major complaints about ATVs and we hope we don’t but it’s a matter of concern,â€? Gerow said. Councillor Larry Ellis wondered if dirt bike riders were also to blame and not just ATVs. “There were some dirt bikes out when I was walking around; unfortunately it is ATVs,â€? Gerow replied. “I’m very concerned about it, especially in the area of the bridge and dam.â€? Mayor Gerow urged councillors to call the OPP if they hear of any more complaints.

EMC News - Campbellford - Changes in service along the Trent-Severn Waterway have left some boaters fuming over long waits at locks and reduced hours of operation. “The new system is absolutely terrible,� complained Ken Braithwaite, of Peterbor-
ough. “We’ve been boating for 40 years and this is the worst we’ve ever seen it.� He and his wife Lynda were on their way back home from Ottawa when interviewed recently aboard their 36-foot express cruiser while docked at Old Mill Park in Campbellford. The retired General Electric employee
said the mobile crews being used along certain stretches of the waterway, which involve Parks Canada staff operating more than one lock, is “absolute lunacy� because of the delays that have resulted. When more than one boat is travelling between the locks, the faster moving ones have to wait until the last of the bunch ar-
rives before being passed through. “So we’re now at the mercy of the slowest boat of the group,â€? Braithwaite said, and that has caused tempers to are. “We’ve seen ďŹ stďŹ ghts in the lock between boaters,â€? he said. “The boaters are getting mad at each other now ‌ It’s dis-
