Frustrations with OPP
Concerns over local policing
Are provincial police hand-
ing out toy few tickets in
town?
Concerns that policing
'problems in Seaforth' have
•been given short shrift
recently.prompted council,
last Tuesday night, to endorse
holding a special meeting
between the local Police
Services Board and Ontario
Provincial Police later this
month. •
There is frustration that per-
haps we are not getting
exactly what we feel is being
paid for, said deputy -reeve
Bill Teall, council's represen-
tative on the PSB.
Foot patrols,. mileage,
bylaw enforcement and tele-
phone expenses are concerns
the police board feels are not
being addressed.
The OPP was not -at the last
police board meeting July 29,
as has been standard practice,
so Chair Bob •Dinsmore
instructed secretary Lin
Steffler to forward the mem-
orandum of complaints to last
week's council meeting on
behalf of the PSB.
Among other concerns, list-
ed in this memo:
• "It has been reported to
us (PSB) that the cruiser was
parked at Market and High
Streets on July 9 from 10:55
a.m. to 12:40 p.m:"
• "The monthly recap report
for June indicates we are
being charged for 3,800 kms.
On the surface, this seems
excessive." '
• "New bylaw re heavy
trucks is not being enforced.
1 hree reports received that
trucks are still parking on res-
idential streets.
• "Only three parking tick-
ets issued in June. Two park-
ing tickets have been issued
from July 1 -17. Driving
through town between 4:30
and 5 p.m. on any business
day could result in a larger
number than those stated."
• "No significant decrease
in phone bills...July 13 bill
was $124.65...22 calls were
made to Goderich. Two calls
in particular ( a 522 number)
lasted a total of 34 minutes."

Bright flashing green lights .Fire Chief George Garrick
on local firefighters' cars (or says the green alternating
trucks) in towlrwill force lights were authorized by the
motorists or bystanders to .Provincial Fire Marshall's
pay attention the next time Office and Seaforth is one of
the siren' sounds and there is the last in Huron County to
a fire til ght. - - implembnt'thcm.

ed the invitation to act as
full-tilne supply minister for
Northside United Church in
SealOrth.and Cavan United in
Winthrop.
Jane Kucpfer, daughter of
Jim and Janet Papplc of RR 4
Seaforth, is to assume the -
vacant .the pulpits as of 'Sept
I. .
She is the interim replace-
ment for Rev. Bruce Codk

"The lights arc quite ohvi-,
ous whenever they are turned
on," he adds.
The lights are only to he
used by members of the vol-
unteer, force on the way to the
firehall in an emergency.
They plug into a lighter
socket and are designed to sit
on top of a vehicle's dash-
board, shining to the front of
reflecting bright in rear-view
mirror%the chief says.
Garrick adds most area peo-
ple know enough to pull over
and lot firefighters through
when the siren sounds,
although the local siren has
been known to freeze in past
winters_ He thinks.the new
