Page 2, News, Tuesday, October 29 1991 Com m U n | t l b f | e f Ss | compiled by Darren MacDonald HALLOWEEN SAFETY Trick or treating is a child- hood tradition that can be lots of fun if simple safety rules are followed. The Canadian Safety Coun- cil has some safety reminders for parents and children that will help make this Halloween a safe one: ewear light-coloured or reflec- tive clothing while trick or treating efeed kids well before they go out, so they won't be tempted to eat their treats --and then check their bag carefully when they get home. *set a route for trick or treating, and set a time limit for your kid's retum *trick or treat on one side of the road at a time -- don't criss- cross the road G.A.ILN.S. INCREASE The guaranteed annual income for single pensioners and married couples have been increased, the Ontario Ministry of Revenue has announced. As of this month, the guar- anteed monthly income (GAINS) for single pensioners will be $899.97, and the guar- anteed monthly rate for quali- fied married couples is now $745.29. ~ That works outs to an annual rate of $10,799.64 and $8,943.48 respectively. Previously, the guaranteed monthly rate for pensioners was $891.88, and $738.73 for qualified married couples. The GAINS rate increases every three months. MNR OPENS ROAD The Ministry of Natural Resources has removed a gate which restricted access to the Islington Lake Road to a timber company and a tourist operator. The gate has been replaced by a sign, which outlines what restrictions apply when using the road. The road itself is about 40 km south of Dead Horse Road, which in turn is 46 km east of Terrace Bay off of Highway 17. "Access to the (Little Pic River System) will still be prohibited, because it's used for tourism oper- ations," said MNR Unit Manager Greg Pawson. "But everything else along that road is accessible." The MNR is making the change because to a sign system to allow more people into the area, Pawson said. " Tt really wasn't fair to the general public to restrict the use of the area to just certain (groups)," he said. Now everyone from berry pickers to moose hunters can make use of the road, provided they abide by the restrictions, Pawson said.
