www.oakvillebeaver.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, March 24, 2010 · 20 Oakville Kia hosts Child Find Ontario fingerprinting session Oakville Kia has teamed up once again with Child Find Ontario to help keep your children safe. On Saturday, March 27 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Oakville Kia will be hosting a child fingerprinting session to do its part in the community to help assist police in the safe recovery of children. On Saturday's event your child will be fingerprinted by police screened and trained Child Find volunteers. Depending upon the age and size of your child, Child Find will take a footprint, a handprint or individual fingerprints. Fingerprints never change; rather they become more defined with age. Child Find recommend having your child printed as an infant; again between the ages of 2 and 6 and again between the ages of 6 and 12. With each passing year the prints become more defined and much easier for professionals to read. Child Find volunteers use professional fingerprinting ink, which is safe and washes off easily. Parents are also encouraged to provide their own photo to go along with the fingerprints to complete the kidcheck package. A clear headshot is preferable; a school photo is a good example of this. As the fastest growing Kia dealer in central Ontario, Oakville Kia takes pride in being a part of the community and continuously looks for different ways to give back to the town that has treated them so well over the years. By taking the time to have your child fingerprinted, you have taken a positive step towards the personal safety of your child. For more information please contact Oakville Kia at 905-469-2429, or drop by the dealership on Saturday at 2219 Wycroft Road. Walter P. Chrysler Museum to host specialty vehicle program Metroland Newspapers Carguide Magazine The Walter P. Chrysler Museum, in Auburn Hills, Mich., will host a specialty vehicle presentation by Walt McCall, 9:30 a.m.-noon Saturday, April 17. One of North America's best known and most prolific authors on the subject of motor fire apparatus, McCall's two-part program - How I Got Hooked (and Laddered): Confessions of a Lifelong Fire Engine Buff and The Professional Car: The Rise and Decline of Passenger Car-Based Ambulances and Funeral Cars will showcase decades of vehicle evolution. Registration, including refreshments and Museum admission, is $12 in advance and $15 at the door ($10 and $14, respectively, for Museum members). McCall's presentation will be held in the Museum's second floor theater and will feature an array of projected historical vehicle images. McCall's fascinating retrospective will highlight the vast knowledge he details in the 18 books he has authored starting with his first in 1976, American Fire Engines Since 1900, still considered the "bible" of the old fire engine hobby. McCall has written ten books on fire apparatus, as well as another six on vintage hearses and ambulances, his other area of antique vehicle expertise. Several titles will be available for purchase - and autograph - following McCall's presentation. A retired Manager - Corporate Public Affairs for Chrysler Canada Ltd and former award-winning fire and police reporter and automotive editor for The Windsor Star, McCall's lifelong love affair with fire engines spans more than 50 years. He helped establish and lead several U.S. and Canadian enthusiast organizations, simultaneously serving as editor of multiple association and hobbyist publications while contributing articles to other North American fire service and antique vehicle magazines.
