It is legal, It is also. legat for.anyone in a. Ri area to sel up’a daycare of eight children (with very little red tape).

One caregiver looking after a Bike vs. truck encounter highlights safety need Dear Sir: On Aug, 16 I was involved in a bicycle accident with a trans- port truck while attempting to cross the Sande Overpass. Needless to say, the truck had the advantage and won the battle. Although I came ‘out of the incident without a scratch, my bicycle was not so fortunate. - I write this letter to remind -both motorisis and cyclists to defensively at all times. We share the road, whether we like it or not, and we must all take responsibility for our safety. As both cyclisis and a motorist I would like to offer the following reminders. To cyclists: * Follow. the rules of the road — you are also a motorist, * be consistent! Don’t switch between acting like a motorist and a pedestrian — it’s very * show respect for motorists -—~ don’t block traffic un- necessarily. * always wear a bike helmel! * use a light and wear reflec- tive clothing at night. To motorists: * cyclists have a right to be on the toad! Do nol force them off into the ditch, * if you pass a cyclist, do not cut him or her off to make a righthandturn, = * watch for cyclists at inter- -sections — they are not always as visible as a vehicle.

I feel that small children benefit best with a few playmates (one a regular basis) and one caregiver. to trust. I would worry that 4 small child in a daycare of many children with more than one categiver would be lost in the crowd, or at least grow up feeling like having always to wait in line . for attention. and affection. ‘Small children deserve to ‘feel special. Mr. Bromley is Operaling a legitimate business on Agar _ catering to.the needs of parents of 16 children. As to Mr. Bromley’s needing to have the R1 zoning bylaws changed to accommodate at 16 ‘child daycare in his new home, this is insensitive and op- portunistic. ; He hes made’ no attempts to listen to the voices of the resi- - dents.
