MARINE POLICE ISSUE WAKE-UP CALL POL Marine police issue wake-up call Marine Police were busy catching speeders over the weekend.

Police spokesperson, P.c. Gary Venning, reported five vessels were caught speeding in five knot zones. Three of the offenders were operating power boats and two were on jet skis.

P.c. Venning reminded power craft operators that it is illegal to navigate a boat within 100 metres of the shoreline at a speed of more than five knots.

However, he did note there were some exceptions when passing between certain islands: "But it appears people are unaware of these exceptions,'' he said.

If people do not know the rules of the water, P.c. Venning recommended they pick-up the Marine Speed Limit Areas leaflet available from the Department of Marine & Ports.

SHED A CASUALTY OF CARELESS FIRE FIR Shed a casualty of careless fire Firemen rushed to a burning wooden shed in Hamilton Parish on Sunday afternoon. The fire, on College Hill Road, was caused by careless burning according to Fire spokesperson Lt. Jon Thompson.

And he warned people of the danger of burning debris on their own property: "If people are going to burn horticultural waste, they need to standby with a garden hose in order to wet down any dry grass that might catch fire or they should do it in a grass-free area,'' Lt. Thompson said.

He also reminded people that under the Clean Air Act, if the smoke from a garden fire becomes a nuisance to their neighbours, it must be extinguished.
