Peggy Elligsen, secretary, suggested room three in the upper level of the municipal offices - where the PSB has held meetings in the past - as the room is not often used. Mayor John Van Bakel had some concerns over the times of entry for the. coordinator and did not want to commit to any- thing until West Perth council has decided what they are going to do about a securi- ty system for the building. "We are in pre- liminary discus- sion about a security system for the building and how we are going to be able .to rent it out to people who currently use it," said Van Bakel. If Crime Stoppers said they just want to use it during working hours, then that would be fine." "I am not saying no or yes. We (council) need to deter- mine what our security sys- tem is going to be like and what rooms are available," he said. News Perth, Huron Crime Stoppers consider central site in Mitchell Hilary Long The effectiveness of the Crime Stoppers coordinator was discussed during the May 10 meeting of the West Perth Police Services Board in Mitchell. - Currently, Perth County has a part-time Crime Stopper Coordinator, Steve Beasley, working out of Gowanstown, and is shared with Huron County. Inspector Zonk Horvat said there have been discussion between Perth and Huron Counties to have the coordi- nator give equal representation for the two counties and being centrally located, perhaps in Mitchell. The Huron County office is in Goderich. The PSB was told Mitchell and area would be the most central location for an office. The current Perth County office in North Perth is not really effective for the majori- ty of Perth. "How can you justify good service to s van par Mitchell would be a positive,'-- OPP Sgt. Doug French Canadian Cancer Society volunteers V recognized Canadian Cancer Society volunteers were recognized recently in Clinton. Laura Scott, of Seaforth, received a five- year award, Darwin Bannerman and Joan Chesney and Corrie Klaver, of Seaforth, received 10 -year awards, Ken Moore, of Seaforth received a 15 -year award and Alfred Ross, of Seaforth received a 25 - year award. Elligsen noted if Crime Stoppers was at the munici- pal building it might help improve the security. "The van will be parked there. If it is right here we will have a lot more visibility and that would be better," she said. OPP Sgt. Doug French said he would like to see the office located in Mitchell and not out in any of the wards. "The visibility of having the van parked in Mitchell would be a positive," he said, adding the town is centrally located in Perth and Huron. "I see no negatives from this." Coun. Larry Wight agreed that it is an excellent idea, noting there are many empty offices located throughout Mitchell. However, Horvat said the Crime Stoppers program is self-sufficient and would look for an office that would be free of charge. He said the office does not have to be big. "They need to be able to lock up and use it specifically for their needs, due to the sensitivity of the files," he said. "Discussing it logistically, it makes no sense to have it where it is," Horvat said, adding, "It comes down to how do we work together to make to program suit our needs, our Communities needs. Basically it is a great program and is very successful in SEAFORTH MANOR RETIREMENT RESIDENCE Seaforth Manor, Optometrist, Dr. Sanderson and CNIB Low Vision Specialist, Louise Beauchamp INVITE YOU TO ATTEND A PRESENTATION OF MACULAR DEGENERATION May 25, 2006 10:00 am - 12:00 pm Seaforth Manor 100 James Street Seaforth, Ontario Please R.S.V.P to Tammy Wright at 519.527.0030 Eat. #2 preventing and solving crime."
