Residence Register beneficial to teens and parents alike A concept that originated with the Bracebridge Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police, in response to rowdy occurrences that detachment was experiencing, resulted in a Residence Register form being approved. The Kincardine Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police now has these forms available in their office. Parents and teens alike are not strangers to the scenario that can and has arisen when the principal occupant and/or parent leaves their residence in care of a teenage child or ward while he goes away. Once the "word" is out that the parents are away, peer pressure in the school and elsewhere can lead to large, unruly par- ties at the residence, involving Liquor Licence Act violations, Mischief or Assaults. How often have we 'heard ;stories of maps being copied and handed out to anyone and everyone? Police have found mitten 'responding to .complaints :at -the -residence that they are rebuffed at first by the people in attendance a 1 the whereabouts of the parents is always "unknown". In order go deal with •the matter effectively, the police are left to gather enough evidence to obtain a warrant. The residence register lists the name of the principal occupant, location of residence, home phone number, date they will be absent from the residence and where they can be reached when out of town. It also contains the name, address -and phone number of local adult keyholders while they are absent and an area where - the name of children left at .home, comments or special instructions may be included. It gives authorization to the Ontario Provincial Police to enter into the residence in order to investigate alleged violations of the Liquor Licence Act, Narcotic Control Act and Criminal Code of Canada, ir- respective of any refusal to allow entry by any occupant of the premises. The authorization ; would be acted upon only in extraor- dinary circumstances where t a warrant would normally have been sought. The form is not intended :as a request for property checks nor are the police :going, to proviide a house sitting service. The Residence Register form is beneficial in that once the parent lets it be known he has given the police the information and authorization involved, it may act jas a deterrent for unwelcome ;par- ty crashers. It also ,provides the teenager with a great answer to any peer pressure he may feel when 100 people show up to party at his parents' house instead of ?the ten he invited.'PL 70 years ago October 30, 1919 Thieves getting busy - Two young men who drove into town on Saturday evening to attend the concert, left their overcoats in their buggy, near the Cain House barn, and on their return found that some sneak thief had been busy and made off with their coats. The incident is a warn- ing to others who have articles of value in their rig. Since the arrest and convic- tion of the notorious thief from Ashfield a couple of years ago, there hasn't been much trouble from pett3 thieving, but it seems that somebody is catching on. Its very inconvenient not to be able to leave things in .a rig, but evidently it is an un- safe practice. A good deal of chicken - stealing is also reported of late. 50 years ago October 26, 1939 Regulations re rabies prevention - The Board of Health sof Lucknow approves the following regulations for the control of rabies. All clogs in the village must be ENTINEL MEMOIRS Rambler gets lost � AM8LINGS 1 have always known that 1 have no head for directions, heck I can't even read a map unless I tura it so lays in the same direction I am headed! But last week's episode of getting lost in East Wawanosh township even came as a sur- prise to me! Mr. Fixit wasn't surprised in the least. His only comment was, "I hope you aren't going to tell anyone." When I replied that I intended to use the tale in this week's column, he simply shook his head in consternation. After discussing my round about trek from the Wawanosh Conservation area with a few other imperfect humans, I know I am not the only one who has ever gotten lost in my own "neck of the woods", so .to speak. One thing I did realize, it is normally women who admit to having this fault. Notice I use the word ADMIT. Men are not so perfect that they do not get lost, they simply will not admit it to themselves or anyone else. The man of the house always knows how to get to his destination, even when he has never been there before. Sound familiar? Yes, I too have driven around in the passenger seat, while the navigator swears up and down where you're head- ed is just around the next corner. Your suggestion to stop and ask at the garage you are approaching is met with stony silence. Although I have lived in this area for over 20 years now, there are a good number of places in the immediate vicini- ty that I have never had the opportunity to visit. Living in Ashfield township, I'm quite familiar with most of that area. West Wawanosh I know a little. I can manage to get to Clinton, Blyth, Wingham, Ripley, Kincardine, Goderich, Auburn, even London without getting lost. That is because I am on a main highway by Pat Living�h by Pat Livingstor travelling to where I have been before. Put me in a territory I am unfamiliar with and I am in trouble. My assignment was to cover the cross country meet at Wawanosh Nature Cen- tre. First I had trouble finding the place. Apparently what I thought was the con- servation area is actually the park. Luckily I happened upon the right road and after taking my pictures, decided rather than go back the way I went in, I would go the other way, as I thought it would save me time. That was my big- gest problem - I thought! It was a beautiful day for a drive and as I con- tinued on my way, thinking I'm headed north on Huron Road 22, I began to wonder why nothing looked familiar To add to my dilemma, my gas tank was a little too close to the "E" for my comfort. It wasn't until I passed the East Wawanosh township shed that I actually realized what road I was on - Huron Road 20 - my. own road, on which, had I turned the other way I would have end- ed up in familiar territory. By this time I was in Belgrave and feeling rather bewildered as to how I had managed to get so turned around. No matter how many times I look at the map, I am still bewildered. I have no idea how I managed to get lost. My only consolation was it was a beautiful, sunny, warm day and I saw some lovely farms and fall scenes. Of course after repeating this episode to Mr. Fixit, I w is given a lesson in reading the sun. I have a better idea. I'm going to suggest to my boss that the company supply me with a compass! The Freeman felines arrived in style at the rabies clinic last week. They were not impressed with the noise and clamour as many pets and their owners lined up to get their shots. kept- in quarantine for six months dated from October 27, 1939, and when out must be on a leash and muzzled. The Veterinary inspector has instructions to destroy all dogs found at large. Owners of dogs who wish to have their dog in- oculated with rabies vaccine may have this done by Dr. Evely. The cost is $1:00. However, a dog so inoculated is subject to the same regulations of quarantine as the .others. Second crop oats reaches two feet high - The end of the week we received a sur- prising sample of second growth oats, that ;measured from 18 to 30 inches in length. The grain was well headed, and the heads have been rapidly filling ;out. There were more than twenty-five stalks in the sample, that grow on the farm of Lloyd Bell, near Kincardine. 25 years ago October 28, 1964 Todds do well at Walkerton Fair - The Todd family of St. Helens made a fine showing at the Walkerton Christmas Fair last week. Reserve champion of commercial classes was an Angus shown by Thomas Todd and going to Canada Packers at 37 cent a pound. The animal weighed 747 lbs. for a total of $276.39. The Reserve champion in 411 classes was an Angus steer shown by Hugh Todd weighing 824 lbs. and was purchased by Canada Packers at 41 cent per pound, for a total of $337.84. Hugh won the award for Grand Cham- pion Showman at the fair. 10 years ago October 24, 1979 Shelve decision on hospital issue - Lucknow Village Council decided to await the . outcr a of a Wingham and District Hospital board meetingbefore allocating funds in its 1900 budget to help the hospital fight a legal case against the On- tario Health Ministry. A letter from the Citizens' Action Com- mittee was received by council requesting funds to cover legal costs of the hospital went to court to question the health ministry's right to close 14 beds at the hospital.
